Comments from Aeroitalia Officials
“This is a significant milestone for the aviation industry; today, a company emerges that will allow everyone to travel safely, affordably, and competitively. We will make history,” said Efromovich, director and investor in Aeroitalia.
“The team put in a lot of effort because they got the license to start the business in less than four months. The support of our French co-investor Marc Bourgarde, who saw an excellent potential in Italy, of Boeing for technical assistance, and of the Mayor of Fiumicino was critical,” he added.
Another of the parties, delegate council Gaetano Intrieri, already well-known in the Italian air transport industry, stated that Ryanair (FR) was the undisputed leader in the Italian market, “so we will begin with character activities and then gain space on less-competitive national routes, such as Puglia to Foggia, until we expand into America in 2023.”
Aeroitalia COO and ex-CEO of now-defunct Alitalia, Giuseppe Careddu explains that the project is ambitious and that its investors’ vision is that of a traditional company with a long-haul network. “At the present, we are activating the chapter with a base in Forli at a short notice beginning in July, and at a medium notice, we will announce regular routes with a short reach to southern destinations, for example,” he concluded.
