THE MEDIUM –HAUL FLEET in new Millennium.
The 21st century beginsbegins with the black year for world civil aviation, 2001, and to face it, Alitalia joins the SkyTeam global alliance. The renewal of the fleet continues for the medium range, the focus is on the Airbus family, with the A320-200 and A319-100 models. The Airbus A320-200s arrive in 1999 and the Airbus A319-100s in 2002. Both aircraft were still Flying on 2021, when Alitalia closed.
The configuration chosen for A320 was initially unique of 135 seats in 2 classes (72 seats in First class and 63 seats in Economy class), but over the years it was replaced by a new configuration of 165-seat for domestic flights in single class and one with 148 seats in double class (34 Ottima and 114 Classic) for international flights.
The A319 configurations are two: a first one of 138-seat for domestic flights in single class and a second, with 122 seats in double class (32 in Ottima class and 90 in Classic one) for international flights.
