Last August the low-cost airline Wind Jet suspended all its
flights and ceased all operations, causing several problems for its
passengers, and prompting Enac (Italian Civil Aviation Authority)
to put in place the necessary reprotection mechanisms with the
cooperation of Alitalia, and Meridiana the second largest Italian
airline operating domestic, European and intercontinental flights.
Livingston - the new Italian airline operating international and
intercontinental flights mainly from its base at the airport of
Milan Malpensa - also operated special flights for the
re-accommodation for the passengers involved.
Wind Jet was founded in 2003 to operate flights from the major
Italian cities and some foreign airports to Sicily. In less than a
decade, from its hub in Sicily (Catania), the company became the
fourth Italian airline by number of passengers.
