Arthur T Knackerbracket has found the following story:

Italian airline Meridiana changed its name to Air Italy with the backing of Qatar Airways, its new shareholder, aiming to become Italy's flagship carrier as UAE-backed Alitalia undergoes bankruptcy proceedings. Re-branded as Air Italy, Meridian unveiled a new restructuring plan to make of Air Italy "a sustainable airline alternative for the people of Italy", as Qatar Airways' CEO Akbar al-Baker said on Monday at a press conference in Milan. "Air Italy will achieve global scale in both fleet and network expansion ... We will show that we are the star," added al-Baker. Over the next three years, 20 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft will be added to Air Italy's fleet, the first of which arrives in April 2018.

    Careful what meals they serve, it only takes one week one prolific farter on each flight [soylentnews.org] to kill the profitability.
