Alitalia’s hub is the Leonardo Da Vinci airport in Roma Fiumicino that is also the SkyTeam alliance’s South Europe hub.

Alitalia also operates in the Cargo sector transporting freight and mail in the holds of its aircraft through a dedicated cargo office. Thanks to an extensive product portfolio, Alitalia can identify the most suitable solution for its customers’ shipping requirements and is also able to satisfy specific needs through the organisation of cargo charter flights.
For over 50 years Alitalia has specialised in the training of flight crews, aircraft maintenance technicians and airport service professionals. In fact, Alitalia Training Centres are aimed at three different areas: flight,ground and maintenance. The courses are characterised by innovative teaching, qualified instructors and cutting-edge technologies that allow for a wide range of “tailored” training solutions. The programs of the courses comply with current regulations and are certified by the relevant authorities.
Alitalia has also developed the “Voglia di volare” program, dedicated to all those who have a fear of flying or are anxious of air travel. Through a course of theoretical knowledge and practical experiments, it is possible to regain the pleasure of flying. Since 1997, more than 2000 people have had the opportunity to speak about their fears not only on board but also on the ground and have been able to get to know aircraft and crew and familiarise themselves with the lesser known technical and psychological aspects. Over 90% of the course participants now fly regularly and wear a smile.
