How it's used
Proper nouns for international airlines are often shortened to just the country name followed by 航空 in casual speech. While the full name is used in formal contexts, locals frequently refer to it simply as 意航 to save time. Note that since the airline ceased operations in 2021, it is now primarily discussed in the past tense.
Examples
Has Alitalia already gone out of business?
I am flying Alitalia to Rome for a trip.
