AeroItalia has recently taken delivery of its first Boeing 737-700 aircraft and announced plans to establish a new base in Genoa during the first quarter of 2026. The airline also intends to open operational facilities in Foggia in late 2025, reflecting ongoing growth strategies. The carrier is recruiting former Alitalia employees to bolster its handling services, aiming to improve operational efficiency as it expands its network.
This expansion comes amid broader industry developments, including JetBlue Airways exploring a potential sale, and the Omani government acquiring a 90% stake in SalamAir, indicating ongoing regional airline restructuring. In Europe, IAG's decreasing interest in TAP Portugal suggests potential restructuring within the airline group.
The sector remains active, with collaborations such as ITA Airways and Volotea teaming up for Sardinian Public Service Obligations (PSOs). These moves highlight the industry's resilience and ongoing consolidation efforts, promising a dynamic year ahead for European and regional airlines.
