History edit
The airline was established in November 1956 under the ELI-Linee Italiane S.p.A. with capital of IRI and Alitalia operating 1 A.B.204 and 2 Agusta-Bell AB.102 helicopters.[1][2] In 1959, the airline was rebranded as Elivie.
In 1967, the airline acquired two Sikorsky S-61.[3] In October 1969 Elivie carried 34,821 passengers.[4][5]
In 1970, Alitalia stopped the Elivie operations, because it was considered unprofitable. A year before, IRI retired their investment on Elivie.
