Qatar Airways-backed Air Italy Ceases Operations
The Italian airline will be liquidated following years of losses and an apparent disagreement between shareholders whether to inject more funds.

Less than two years after commencing operations under the Air Italy brand and with Qatar Airways as a 49 percent shareholder, the Olbia, Sardinia-based airline on Tuesday announced it would cease operations and liquidate. Both its domestic and international services will continue until February 25 but will be operated by other carriers “with the aim of minimizing the inconvenience for passengers,” according to a statement on its website. The decision to proceed with the “liquidazione in bonis” of the company follows a shareholders’ meeting earlier today.
