20.06.2009 - Air Italy (I9/Milan Malpensa) will shortly lease its first two ex-Air Berlin (AB/Berlin Tegel) and ex-Hong Kong Express (UO/Hong Kong) B737-800s and has wet-leased a B737-500 from Bulgaria Air (FB/Sofia) for the summer season to replace an aircraft of the same type it had previously wet-leased from Smartwings (QS/Prague). Air Italy will launch several new routes and in addition to its planned expansion in the Italy-Brazil market is considering setting up a Brazilian subsidiary in Fortaleza to operate domestic and international services:
Genoa-Olbia: 2x weekly seasonal B737-300 service between July 28 and September 3
Milan Malpensa-Fortaleza-Maceio: weekly B767-200ER service starting on July 19
Milan Malpensa-Natal: weekly B767-200ER service starting on July 24
Milan Malpensa-Porto Seguro-Salvador: weekly B767-200ER service starting on July 15
Milan Orio al Serio-Olbia: weekly seasonal B737-300 service between July 25 and September 5
Rome Fiumicino-Milan Malpensa-Havana: weekly B767-200ER service starting on July 31
It will operate a seasonal twice weekly B737-300 service from Genoa to Olbia between July 28 and September 3. It will operate a four times weekly B737-300 service linking Brescia and Olbia between July 24 and September 7 because the Italian government refused Air Italy rights to operate between Verona and Olbia because Meridiana (IG/Olbia) received subsidies for operating the route under a public service obligation agreement that guarantees Meridiana exclusive rights to serve the route. Air Italy has also dropped plans to operate a seasonal Palermo-Olbia route.

19.11.2006 - Rossiya (FV/St. Petersburg) has completed its merger with Pulkovo Aviation Enterprise. The combined carrier has started operations on October 31 operating from two bases in St. Petersburg and Moscow Vnukovo. It will lease four ex-Hong Kong Express (UO/Hong Kong) EMB-170s in 2007 to replace Tu-134s.
