Past deals in Aviation

ITA Airways
Debt Financing in 2024
ITA Airways is the flag carrier and national airline of Italy. It is much leaner than the group that was rescued and privatized in 2008. It has a younger fleet, its cost base is better than that of Air France, and long gone are the perks its staff enjoyed, such as being picked up by taxi from home. The company operates 52 aircraft (7 wide body and 45 narrow body), but our goal is to reach, in 2025, a fleet of 105 new generation Airbus aircraft, more efficient and greener, with an overall reduction of 750,000 tons of CO2.
