About Aeroitalia
Aeroitalia is a young Italian airline flying from Rome, Bergamo, Genoa and Salerno to Sardinia, Sicily, southern Italy and seasonal European destinations. It often serves routes that larger airlines don’t. This guide covers power bank rules, check-in, Italy’s islands and how it compares with ITA Airways and Ryanair.
The airline started flying in July 2022 from Forlì. After a dispute over its name with ITA Airways, the two reached an agreement in February 2026 that lets it keep the Aeroitalia brand. It flies Boeing 737s and ATR 72 turboprops.

Power Bank Rules on Aeroitalia
New international (ICAO) rules apply from 27 March 2026, and European airlines follow them:
- Each passenger can carry up to two power banks, in cabin baggage only, never in checked bags.
- Power banks cannot be charged on board, and you cannot use them to charge phones or other devices during the flight.
- Up to 100 Wh needs no approval; 100–160 Wh needs approval from the airline. Keep them within reach, not in the overhead bin.
Check-In in Italy
Online check-in is available on the website before departure. Arrive at least two hours before your flight at Rome Fiumicino and 90 minutes at smaller airports.
Families and Special Assistance
Infants under two travel on an adult’s lap, and pushchairs and car seats can usually be checked in free. Request wheelchairs and other special assistance at least 48 hours before the flight.
