In addition to its technical performance, the ITA Airways A220-300 features the airline’s signature livery, with sleek blue tones and the iconic "tricolore" of the Italian flag subtly woven into the design. This aircraft serves as a symbol of ITA’s ambition to position itself as a modern, forward-thinking carrier, one that honors Italy’s rich aviation heritage while embracing the future.
