Ala Littoria

Italy

Ala Littoria was created in the summer of 1934 to give Italy a strong national airline.
It was the result of a merger between SAM - Società Aerea Mediterranea, Navigazione Aerea - SANA,
SISA - Società Italiana Servizi Aerei and AEI - Aero Espresso Italiana.
In 1935, Società Adria Aero Lloyd in Albania (then de facto an Italian colony)
and Nord Africa Aviazione, operating in the Italian colonies of Libya and Cyrenaica, were taken over.

Ala Littoria built up an extensive European network, in addition to the 'Linea Imperiale'
- the route to Eritrea and Abyssinia. After Italy entered the war on Germany's side in 1940,
the airline acted as a transport unit for the Italian armed forces. It was never revived after the war.
