ITA Airways (AZ/ITY) is Italy’s national flag carrier, founded in October 2020 following the financial collapse of Alitalia, the long-standing but long-struggling Italian airline. Officially known as Italia Trasporto Aereo S.p.A., ITA commenced operations in October 2021, inheriting many of Alitalia’s routes, aircraft, and even its frequent flyer program.

Positioned as a more sustainable and efficient successor, ITA aims to rebuild the reputation of Italian aviation with a modernized fleet and streamlined business model.Lufthansa…

Operating in two flights of four aircraft, the Stratotankers headed northeast toward Missouri. Those aircraft quickly climbed to the top of Flightradar24’s most tracked flights list—not because thousands of people find aerial refueling aircraft over the central US fascinating, but for the inference of their purpose. Following dramatically increased intercontinental activity by US Air Force tanker and transport aircraft that began on 15 June, speculation grew that B-2 Spirit stealth bombers could be…
