Ala Littoria was the Italian national airline that operated during the fascist regime in the 1930s and 1940s.
The first commercial flight in Italy was started in 1923, but it reached full international service only with "Ala Littoria".
Ala Littoria was formed in 1934 by a merger of Società Aerea Mediterranea (SAM), Società Anonima Navigazione Aerea (SANA), Società Italiana Servizi Aerei (SISA) and Aero Espresso Italiana (AEI).
The airline was owned by the Italian government and predominantly featured the Italian flag on its aircraft. It also showed the fascism symbol in some routes. It used mainly state-of-the-art aircraft from Savoia-Marchetti.
After the Spanish Civil War, Ala Littoria invested in Iberia, the Spanish airline that was established following the demise of LAPE. Ala Littoria acquired 12,5 % of the airline and purchased three Junkers Ju 52 air frames without engines from Lufthansa, giving them to Iberia in lieu of capital.
Ala Littoria flew to destinations across Europe and Italian colonies in Africa. In 1934 was done an experimental flight from Rome to Mogadiscio in Italian Somalia, that established a world record on long distance civil flight and allowed to start the prestigious Linea dell'Impero the next year, in 1935.
