[edit] History

Air Dolomiti was established in January 1989 by the Leali Steel Group. It started regional operations in January 1991 with a Trieste-Genoa route and in 1992 started international services with flights from Verona to Munich. After several years of co-operation, Lufthansa acquired a 26% stake in January 1999 and increased it to 52% in April 2003 and 100% in July 2003^[1]. Since then Air Dolomiti has been controlled by Lufthansa as a member of Lufthansa Regional, a strategic cooperation between five regional European airlines (Air Dolomiti, Augsburg Airways, Contact Air, Eurowings and Lufthansa CityLine).

The airline employs some 552 people (at March 2007)^[1] and although most Lufthansa regional subsidiaries operate under their parent's name and colours, Air Dolomiti retains its own identity.
