AeroItalia wants to buy Air Connect. This is what emerged from an Avionews interview with Gaetano Intrieri – CEO of AeroItalia, announces italiavola.com. In fact, the Italian airline, which has been flying for almost 15 months, wants to acquire the Romanian carrier in order to expand on the regional market.
From our information, it seems to be just a dream of Gaetano Intrieri. This transaction is currently not confirmed. It is true that Air connect flies for Aeroitalia, but our sources have informed us that no such transaction has arisen.
The Romanian carrier has 2 ATR72-600 aircraft and these aircraft are interesting, Intrieri said, for the expansion of activities on the regional market. What was stated to Avionews matches a statement made in an interview with Rete Iblea where Intrieri said that AeroItalia wants to open new connections from Comiso and hypothesized Naples and Malta.
