29 Airlines Most Likely to Cancel Your Flight (And How to Avoid Them)

18. ITA Airways – New Name, Old Problems

Italy’s flagship successor to Alitalia, ITA Airways inherited more than just aircraft—it also absorbed long-standing issues with reliability. Though it’s improving, the airline still struggles with staffing gaps, inconsistent schedules, and airport inefficiencies at its Rome and Milan hubs. Frequent flyers note a lack of clear communication around delays and cancellations. If booking ITA, consider padding your itinerary by at least a few hours and downloading a reliable third-party flight tracker for backup alerts. Avoid short layovers in FCO or MXP unless absolutely necessary.
