Air Italy Scales Back Intercontinental Network
The airline will end services to Delhi and Bombay, postpones launch of controversial Chicago route.


Less than a year after taking to the skies with Qatar Airways as a 49 percent shareholder and a bold plan to deploy a fleet of around 50 aircraft by 2022, Air Italy appears to have curbed its ambition to rapidly build a long-haul network from Milan Malpensa Airport. The airline will end its three-times weekly nonstop service to Mumbai Chhatrapati Shivaji Airport on February 17 and cancel flights to Delhi Indira Gandhi Airport starting March 29. The routes to India commenced only in December, and Air Italy serves them with Airbus A330-200s in a two-class configuration.
