Overview
Alisarda is an Italian aviation company associated with the development of air transport in Sardinia, particularly around Olbia. It was founded by Aga Khan in 1963, with its early activities linked to tourism development and air connectivity for Sardinia. Alisarda later served as a holding entity connected with airline brands and aviation operations including Meridiana. Because its corporate structure, airline affiliations and operating status have changed over time, the name should not automatically be treated as a currently operating passenger airline. The available information is insufficient to confirm its present standalone operating status, latest ownership or full business scope.
History
Alisarda was founded by Aga Khan in 1963, and its development was closely connected with Sardinia’s tourism industry and need for air links. The company established important business ties in Olbia and became involved in air services connecting Sardinia with mainland Italy and other European destinations. As its aviation activities expanded and the corporate structure evolved, Alisarda became associated at holding or group level with airline brands and companies including Meridiana. Because later airline integrations, reorganizations and ownership changes were complex, the relationship between Alisarda as a corporate entity and specific passenger-airline brands should be distinguished by period. The available material is insufficient to provide a complete chronology or confirm its current organizational and operating status without further company records.
