The truth is that I believed that they would inherit the old folta delitalia with the 777-200 and the A330-200 but it is good to see that they are deciding on more efficient and ecological aircraft, I know they will try to do their best but it will be difficult for them to get out of the shadow of Alitalia, which was a very historic airline., and its replacement should do just as well. thanks for the post, very good information.
Some planes will stay for a while.
