Rome-based hybrid carrier Aeroitalia released nine-month results on 1 December that confirm its emergence as Italy’s fastest-growing airline outside the state-owned ITA Airways. From January to September the carrier operated 18,764 flights—up 24 % year-on-year—transporting 2.48 million passengers at an average load factor of 79 %. Revenues rose 25 % to €216.8 million, while EBITDA reached €17.1 million, according to a Teleborsa filing.
Management credited network diversification: domestic trunk routes such as Milan Linate–Bari performed strongly, but new seasonal services to Tirana and Bucharest also filled seats. Ancillary revenue per passenger climbed 12 % to €66.59, reflecting a revamped fare-family structure and stronger cross-selling of car-hire and lounge products.

For mobility and relocation planners, Aeroitalia’s expansion is broadening point-to-point options within Italy just as high-speed-rail capacity reaches saturation on key north-south corridors. However, rapid growth can test operational resilience; the airline suffered a 2.8 % flight-cancellation rate during August’s heatwave, prompting Civil-Aviation Authority (ENAC) scrutiny of crew rostering.
Aeroitalia’s CEO Marc Bourgade said the company is on track to hit its target of three million passengers in 2025 and will announce additional leased B737-MAX aircraft in Q1 2026. The carrier is also seeking codeshare partners to plug gaps in northern Europe, which would further integrate Italy’s secondary cities into global corporate travel programmes.
If the upward trajectory continues, Aeroitalia could become a viable alternative for corporate contracts now dominated by ITA, Ryanair and Wizz Air—potentially exerting downward pressure on Italian business-class fares next summer.
