CNN
ITA Airways, the successor to Alitalia, will paint its planes blue after Italy's national sporting teams, and be entirely kitted out with Italian design.
(CNN) — They've long dominated the food and fashion worlds, this year they've dominated sports, and now they're aiming for the skies.
Italy's new national airline, ITA Airways, launched on Friday with a promise to bring pride back to its national flag carrier, after Alitalia, Italy's legacy airline, went bankrupt and ceased operations a day earlier.
Executives unveiled plans for the new network, airplanes, staffing and livery at a press conference livestreamed from Rome.

The alleged drug traffickers killed by the US military in a strike on September 2 were heading to link up with another, larger vessel that was bound for Suriname — a small South American country east of Venezuela – the admiral who oversaw the operation told lawmakers on Thursday according to two sources with direct knowledge of his remarks.

The two men killed as they floated holding onto their capsized boat in a secondary strike against a suspected drug vessel in early September did not appear to have radio or other communications devices, the top military official overseeing the strike told lawmakers on Thursday, according to two sources with direct knowledge of his congressional briefings.
