A new tricolor airline ready to take off, AeroItalia aims for long-haul flights from 2022

Right now there is a website under construction, a Facebook page, a couple of drawings and a few posts. Little else about the new Italian airline that has chosen the name AeroItalia And a tricolor as a livery on the fuselage of the planes.

The mastermind behind this operation appears to be a well-known figure. We are talking about Gaetano Francesco Intrieri, former advisor and close associate of former minister Toninelli, who wrote a long post on his Facebook profile in response to the many inquiries he received after the news about the new airline came out.

Following my post this morning I received an inordinate amount of private messages, impossible for me to read them all in a short time because there are thousands of them. I really apologize because I am not used to not responding to people who write to me. I have always done so over the years and I think it is rude not to do so. But unfortunately it is physically impossible for me to do it at least in a short time, considering that I work an average of 12 hours a day. So in the meantime, I would like here to briefly answer the most frequently asked questions:

1. In January it will appear clearly and unambiguously on the website how people will be hired.
2. They will be objective modes, that is, not subjective. For example, only people from air transportation will be considered. The primary goal of this airline will be to reintegrate people from air transport into work. Both the top management who have already been working on this difficult and fascinating challenge for some time, the middle management who will be chosen, and the flight, technical, and airport personnel will be people from Italian air transport.
3. People in obvious and concrete state of need (e.g., single parents with dependent children and single-income earners will be the first to be selected and with equal professional values will be given preference over others, so people who have experienced precariousness for years)
4. Recruitment will start from February 2022 and continue until December 2023 in parallel with the fleet increase.
5. The selections will be held at our offices in Via Cesare Pavesi n. 8 in Rome and will be carried out at precise times by at least three people from AeroItalia's top management, who will have to justify the objective reasons for hiring or exclusion to the person concerned. The hiring will not include any probationary period.
6. The company should have staff equally divided between men and women in the sense that if the total human resources is 1,000, then 500 will be men and 500 will be women without any discrimination about sexual, religious or political orientation.
7. There will be no preclusion related to the age of the person selected, in the sense that while the concept that young people are the future of society and need to be integrated into the world of work is valid, so is the concept that at fifty or even sixty a human being should be able to have the right not to feel humiliated. That is, to feel, despite himself, a burden to the community that has to subsidize him after working for thirty years
8. Interested persons will be selected in chronological order, i.e. the first to apply will be selected first. The date and time of receipt of the email will be authentic, which will be in the public domain, i.e. in compliance with the Privacy Act on the company's website will be published chronologically the applications received with only the initials so that everything will be in the open.
   The challenge is a truly challenging one, there will be a lot of work to be done and we have already been doing it for months trying to take care of the smallest details from the leasing of the airplanes to the last supplier of soap for the bathrooms. The great thing is to see for a few months now the top management made up of former Alitalia, former Air Italy and other former Italian airlines working tirelessly day and night heedless of time zones and weekends and with incredible determination. Every day I see and touch the pride and dignity of Italian super professionals with kerosene coming out of their ears who can't wait to fly again. That's Italy beauty.

More details on the initial capital and industrial sponsors of the operation were given in an interview with Il Mattino di Napoli. Intrieri unveiled the 90-something name that would be behind the operation, namely German Efromovich. South American entrepreneur with lots of experience in the aviation industry and personal wealth valued at more than $1 billion.

Now all that remains is to wait a few weeks to see if the announcements will be followed by action.
