The first Ita Airways aircraft with the new blue livery took off in the early afternoon from Rome Fiumicino airport to Milan. The flight, the Az 2044, is operated with an Airbus A320 dedicated to the unforgettable champion Paolo Rossi. "It is beautiful. It recalls the colors of a clear blue sky, free of clouds. It is a message of optimism. We hope - a middle-aged lady said at the gate before boarding - that the beautiful time 'also on the whole of humanity struggling with another kind of much more threatening' clouds' represented by the pandemic The thing that comforts me at the moment - he added - is that traveling by plane does not constitute any risk of contracting the virus.
In my opinion, in fact, compared to other closed environments, I think that the cabin of an airplane represents an additional measure of protection. Factors contributing to this include the direction of the air flow along with the exchange and filtration rate. To this must be added the correct use of the mask and the enhanced sanitation measures in the airports. "" Yes, I like this new livery - said another passenger - I'm returning to Milan to spend Christmas with my relatives. I am a football fan and to go back aboard an airplane colored blue like the national team shirt and name it after Paolo Rossi, world champion '82 and top scorer of that edition that was held in Spain, makes me really happy. Brava Ita Airways who had this thought. Congratulations".
