Previously Meridiana, purchased by Qatar and rebranded 2018, this is the “New Italian” airline. The paint is still fairly fresh on this one.
Air Italy has an exceptional business class soft product. The crew couldn’t have been friendlier, the food was excellent, the bedding was great, and the amenities (including pajamas) were awesome. In many ways this felt like flying with Qatar Airways with an Italian charm to it.
The one concrete area for improvement is with the entertainment, in my opinion. The wifi wasn’t working, there was no airshow, and the movie and TV show selection was limited. That’s not a huge deal for me personally, though it does seem like an oversight.
Let’s keep in mind that this airline used to be known as Meridiana, and flew super outdated 767s (which I reviewed as recently as last year). They’ve come a long way — very, very well done, Air Italy!
