The story

Alitalia CityLiner was founded as Air One CityLiner S.p.A. in June 2006, as a subsidiary of Air One, with a brand new fleet of ten Bombardier CRJ-900s. It commenced operations with flights between Trieste and Rome Fiumicino; and Genoa and Naples, on 7 June. In February 2007, it started its first international route, between Turin and Paris-Charles de Gaulle.

On 13 January 2009, Air One and Alitalia merged under the Alitalia brand name, therefore Air One CityLiner S.p.A. was reincorporated as Alitalia CityLiner S.p.A.

On 20 April 2011, the airline was rebranded Alitalia CityLiner. It became Alitalia's only regional airline, a role previously performed by Alitalia Express. Anew fleet of 20 Embraer 175s and 190s was delivered between September 2011 and March 2013.

In August 2019, the airline's parent company and CityLiner itself were placed under Extraordinary Administration (EA), this due to years of inprofitability. Since 2020 Alitalia was fully owned by the Italian government.

Both Alitalia and Alitalia CityLiner ceased operations at the same time on 15 October 2021 when they were replaced by ITA Airways.

Alliances
