Livingston Compagnia Aerea (English translation: Livingston Airline, legally New Livingston S.p.A.) was[1] an Italian airline with its head office in Cardano al Campo and main hub at Milan Malpensa Airport in Milan. It ceased operations on 7 October 2014.[1]
History
Livingston Compagnia Aerea was founded by taking over the name, the landing rights and some other assets from the liquidation process of the former Livingston Energy Flight. The airline started with charter operations across Europe.
After the Italian low-cost company Wind Jet collapsed in August 2012, Livingston announced that it would take over several routes of Wind Jet's. As of December 2013 it had not been announced whether these temporary flights will be continued.[2] On 27 October 2013, the airline took over Alitalia on the Alghero, Sardinia to Rome, Italy route with three daily flights.[3]
On 25 June 2014 ENAC announced that the AOC for Livingston would be suspended effective on 14 July 2014 due to financial troubles.[4][5] This decision was revoked a few days later, the airline meanwhile continued its operations.[6]
However, as of 7 October 2014, Livingston ceased all operations and returned their planes to the lessors. One day later, the Italian authorities revoked the airline's operating license.[1][7]
