Lufthansa Italia S.p.A is a wholly owned subsidiary of German airline Deutsche Lufthansa based in Milan, Italy. Operations started on 2 February 2009. Currently Lufthansa Italia serves ten major European cities and four destinations within Italy with a fleet of seven Airbus A319 aircraft.
On 28 April 2008 Lufthansa announced plans to commence intra-European flights out of Malpensa International Airport using six Embraer 195 aircraft from its subsidiary Air Dolomiti.
When the eight initial routes were announced on 11 September of the same year, Lufthansa had changed its plans towards using the larger Airbus A319 jetliner.
On 26 November 2008 the new brand Lufthansa Italia was formed instead of the originally planned Air Dolomiti operations.
Still, Lufthansa maintained its request to partner with the bankrupt Alitalia, without success.
On 17 June 2009, Lufthansa Italia had been registered at Milan's Chamber of Commerce as an Italian company, but until now it does not own an Italian AOC.
