ITA Airways unveils special Olympic A320 livery for Milano Cortina

ITA Airways has unveiled a special Airbus A320 livery to mark the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, as part of its role as Official Airline Sponsor.

The A320-200, registered EI-DSY, has returned to commercial service repainted in the Olympic-themed livery and will operate across the carrier’s short- and medium-haul network. The livery features artwork by Italian illustrator Emiliano Ponzi and is intended to position the aircraft as a flying ambassador for the Olympic and Paralympic Games, integrating Games branding into ITA Airways’ daily operations.

Alongside the aircraft’s entry into service, ITA Airways has introduced a series of Olympic-related initiatives across its passenger offering. These include dedicated Business Class menus on selected medium-haul routes, as well as themed activations in the airline’s lounges at Rome Fiumicino (FCO) and Milan Linate (LIN) airports.

The airline has also launched SKYWAY, a temporary brand installation in Piazza San Carlo, Milan, which will remain open until mid-March 2026. The installation consists of two pavilions reflecting ITA Airways corporate colour scheme and branding. The pavilions feature white surfaces and natural wood elements inspired by alpine forms, creating a visually distinctive design that reflects national identity, sport, and environmental considerations. One of the pavilions is designed to resemble an aircraft fuselage, with window displays overlooking a stylized mountain environment, reinforcing the connection between aviation and the alpine setting of the Winter Games. The installation is intended to increase brand visibility and public engagement in the lead-up to the Games.

From a fleet perspective, the Olympic A320 livery represents a single-aircraft special scheme rather than a wider repainting program. The aircraft is expected to remain in regular commercial service while carrying the Milano Cortina 2026 branding.The post ITA Airways unveils special Olympic A320 livery for Milano Cortina appeared first on AeroTime.
