The company will be replaced by Ita, the state-owned company that was born as a result of negotiations conducted between the Italian government and the European Union (EU) in July in an attempt to save the airline. The new company acquired 52 aircraft from Alitalia.

The traditional company, which turned 75 in September, has been exacerbated by the coronavirus pandemic. In 2017 and 2019, according to AFP, Alitalia received government loans totaling 1.3 billion euros.
