Standing in line at the consulate doesn't erase your right to citizenship.

The Italian Supreme Court has confirmed that a consular blockade is legal grounds for legal action.

• Were you unable to schedule an appointment at the consulate?
• Is the process stalled or poorly managed?
• Maternal lineage?
• Incomplete documentation?

See if there is still a solution.

In your authorization request to ANAC, according to the website aeroin, ITA highlighted that it is an entirely new company, incorporated under full ownership and control of the Italian government following the discontinuation of Alitalia.

However, the company emphasizes that ITA Airways has no relationship with Alitalia and that the start of its operations in Brazil is not a replacement for its predecessor, but rather a request from a completely new company.

The airline has not yet released a date for the start of regular flights to Brazil, however, shortly before starting operations, executives signaled their intention to start flights to São Paulo in 2022, with Rio de Janeiro to follow.

Being the Brazil is one of the main markets for flights to Italy, it is only a matter of time before flights begin.

Meanwhile, in Rome, the executives of the state-owned airline remain steadfast in seeking a strong partnership so that ITA can compete on an equal footing with the major players in the global airline market.
