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
. 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)
and although most
Lufthansa regional subsidiaries operate under their parent's name and colours, Air Dolomiti retains its own identity.
