ITA finalizes fleet plans

According to Italian newspaper Corriere Della Sera, Alitalia's successor, Italia Trasporto Aéreo-ITA, is finalising its fleet plan. We already knew that the airline was to launch flights on 15 October with 52 aircraft but now we can also report on the make-up of that fleet.

ITA will initially take-over from Alitalia one ERJ190, seventeen A319s, 27 A320s and seven A330-200s. Next year, the airline will grow to 78 aircraft and, if all things go well, to 100 by end 2023 and five more by 2025. 80% of the fleet in 2025 will consist of narrowbody aircraft.

The airline is also working in securing aircraft to modernise its fleet and is planning to secure leases and/or orders for newer and more efficient aircraft. According to the newspaper ITA is set to add ten A220s, 55 A320/321neos and thirteen A330-900s/A350-900s. A final decision on these new aircraft is expected in the coming weeks.
