Alitalia-Linee Aeree Italiane - Alitalia Servizi

Alitalia Servizi

Carlo Cimoli, after becoming President and CEO of the Alitalia Group, divided the group into two holdings to cut costs. Alitalia (referred to as Alitalia Fly) controlled Alitalia Express, Volare SpA, Volare Airlines and Air Europe. Furthermore it controlled 51% of Alitalia Servizi SpA which owned the following companies:

• Alitalia Airport (100%): ground handling services in Rome Fiumicino, Palermo, Cagliari and London Heathrow (under the Alitalia Servizi brand). It provided passenger handling services in: Catania, Naples.
• Alitalia Maintenance Systems (60%): maintenance services, it was 40% controlled by Lufthansa Technik.
• Atitech (100%): maintenance services in Naples.

Alitalia Servizi also provided IT services for the Alitalia Group (which were partly outsourced) and ground handling in London Heathrow. It provided passenger handling in Brussels, Athens and Frankfurt. Alitalia Servizi was 49% owned by Fintecna (State agency). By 2008 it could have been sold as a whole or piece by piece as the agreements with the trade unions prevented Alitalia from selling Alitalia Servizi before 2008. Due to the Alitalia reorganisation Alitalia Servizi was never sold.
