Italy's bankrupt national airline Alitalia made its last flight today before formally folding after 74 turbulent years of business, marking the end of an era.
A flight attendant at Rome's Fiumicino-Leonardo da Vinci Airport thanked passengers for their loyalty before boarding the noon Flight AZ1581 to Cagliari, Sardinia.
The last scheduled Alitalia flight was the return from Cagliari, Flight AZ1586, due to land at 11pm on Thursday.
Alitalia, which had operated in the red for more than a decade, will be replaced by a new national carrier, ITA, or Italy Air Transport, which launches on Friday.
