partnerships with renowned Italian brands, such as Brunello Cucinelli, who designed the uniforms of the crew
and ground staff, Walter De Silva, who created the interiors of ITA Airways’ new aircraft, and Italian starred
chefs, who are signing the on-board gastronomic offer. The Company is also committed to sustainability,
through continuous fleet renewal with technologically advanced and efficient aircraft. ITA Airways’ fleet
currently includes 83 Airbus, with 40 of the latest generation.
