The new and improved Alitalia has no known accidents or incidents and while the ‘old’ Alitalia had their share of incidents at one point, they have had no accidents since November 14, 1990 when a DC9 crashed in Zurich killing all 40 onboard. In their effort to continue to offer the best in comfort and safety, Alitalia continues to work on the modernization of their fleet and already offers one of the youngest fleet of all the airlines in Europe.
