The virtual airline that MAKES
ATI LIVE AGAIN
Aero Trasporti Italiani
At the service of Italy, everywhere in Italy
Founded in 1963 as a derivative of Alitalia which held 90% of the ownership. Its mission: to develop national connections, especially in Southern Italy.
1964
ATI's activity begins with a fleet of 3 Fokker 27s. The first "transversal" multi-route routes are born. The connected cities are mainly those of southern Italy and Sicily. The operational base is in Naples Capodichino, where some existing airport infrastructures are adapted to accommodate a hangar for aircraft maintenance and an administrative office.
1965-1968
Further Fokker 27s allows the domestic network to be expanded. Sardinia and other cities in continental Italy joined the ATI network which in 1966 also won the tender to operate the internal Libyan routes. Passengers and goods transported rapidly increased. The Capodichino headquarters is expanded with the construction of a new hangar and an office building.
1969
The Douglas DC9/30 S enters the fleet. It is the beginning of an era: in the following decades the aircraft produced by the American manufacturer will constitute the backbone of the ATI fleet. The DC9 allows further and important development of the company; the progressive inclusion of new models in the fleet will allow, in the seventies, an expansion (even with single route routes) of the network with a constant increase in passengers and goods.
from 1984
The new, efficient and comfortable MD82s work alongside the always valid DC9/30 S on the longest routes with the highest number of passengers. Since 1986, the ATR 42 has entered the fleet and is used on the shorter routes, once operated by the Fokker 27. Many European capitals are added to the international destinations, reachable from some cities in Southern Italy, anticipating what will be developed in the following decades by the low cost airlines.
After thirty years of honorable service, ATI's activities anded on the 30th October 1994.
In the perspective of the liberalization of air transport, ATI was integrated into Alitalia.
ATI has effectively invented a new way of conceiving air transport.
The 'sky bus' concept to connect Italian cities with multi-route flights proved successful.

The evolution of the logo
From its inception to its closure, the ATI logo underwent three fundamental revisions which also led to a change in the aircraft liveries. In this site and in our Virtual brand,
we based ourselves on the intermediate version which better than the others represents the synthesis between its autonomy and the reference to Alitalia.
It's the oldest logo, the one with which the Company was born. Used in early communications materials, in liveries, on the tails of early Fokker 27s
It represents a total re-branding: the quotation of the Alitalia logo, the "parent" company, is clear but the logo maintains its own singularity..
Thi is the logo adopted in the last years of ATI's life, probably in preparation for the next merger. It required the complete redoing of the liveries.
