Alitalia recorded a 4.4 percent increase in passenger revenues in June, compared to the same month in 2018, when the carrier’s revenues from passenger traffic had increased by 10.6 percent.

The airline’s program for SMEs has also been a success, showing an increase of 50 percent in revenues during the first six months of 2019.

“Alitalia’s results were positively affected by the company’s commercial investment in intercontinental destinations,” an announcement said.

The long-haul sector achieved record results in June, with the number of passengers growing at a pace of 4.7 percent, compared to 2018. Alitalia carried 277,617 travelers on intercontinental flights – the highest number since 2009.

Alitalia also saw its customer satisfaction index increasing.
