On August 28, 2023, the "blue new addition" was taken over from Airbus Canada in Mirabel and transferred to Rome-Fiumicino with stopovers. The carrier promises that there will also be some innovations in the cabin area. This is the first unit in the A220 series at Ita Airways to be equipped with their new standard cabin. The previous aircraft were taken over via leasing companies and put into service as they were seated or equipped. The innovations include, for example, that improved WiFi connectivity and USB sockets will now be offered on board. The planes have 149 leather seats. According to Ita Airways, the seats are saffron leather in blue and beige. This largely corresponds to the carrier's corporate identity. The interior design was created on behalf of the Italian airline by Walter De Silva. He said that pleasant and consistent travel is particularly important to him. He went on to talk about the choice of blue and beige tones as the predominant colors, which are natural colors made from natural materials.
