Air One

Air One S.p.A., operating as Air One "Smart Carrier", is Alitalia's low cost carrier subsidiary with flights based in Milan Malpensa Airport, Pisa Airport, Venice Marco Polo Airport and Catania Fontanarossa Airport.

Before the merger with Alitalia, Air One was a competitor, the second largest airline in Italy, with a network to 36 destinations in Italy, Europe and North America. Its main bases were Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino Airport in Rome, Linate Airport in Milan and Turin International Airport, each equipped with a dedicated Air One Lounge named Sala Welcome, which can still be used by Alitalia customers.

"Air One" is a portmanteau of the English meaning Air One and the Italian word 'airone', meaning heron (the bird depicted in the logo), which is also the airline callsign.
