Ita sells the first tickets, but for contracts, slots and airplanes it has raced against time

MILANO – Ita starts the sale of narrow-gauge tickets (there are still many intercontinental destinations) and is preparing for two weeks of fire on the trade union front, to equip the fleet of 52 aircraft with aircraft and crews and to really take off the service on the next 15 October. The new Italian airline – backed by 700 million paid by its sole shareholder, the Treasury – yesterday opened the provisional website for reservations.
