The first A-320neo aircraft with new blue livery to join the ITA Airways fleet has rolled out the paint shop in Shannon Airport, Ireland. It is dedicated to Giacinto Facchetti, extraordinary full-back and captain of the Italian national football team between the 1960s and 1970s. It sports unique design details such as a Zorro mask and winglets, and it will be serving the Company’s medium-haul routes from the end of January.

Bringing together technology and efficiency, the new A-320neo delivers 20% less fuel consumption and CO2 emissions per seat compared to previous generation aircraft. With the new airplane, ITA Airways will further enrich its modern and environment-friendly fleet, which will feature 80% new generation aircraft by 2026, with the consequent downscaling of 1.3 million tons of CO2 emissions. 

The new A-320neo features an innovative cabin design, granting passengers a unique travel experience courtesy of more modern and comfortable seats.
