Air Dolomiti (IATA: EN, ICAO: DLA, and Callsign: Dolomiti) [1] is a regional airline based in Verona in Italy. The airline's name derives from a section of the Alps known as The Dolomites. It is part of Lufthansa Regional connecting medium-size Italian airports to other European cities through Lufthansa's Munich, Frankfurt and Vienna hubs. The airline employs some 550 people and although most Lufthansa regional subsidiaries operate under their parent's name and colours, Air Dolomiti retains its own identity.

[edit] 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).
