PRiMA Aero Trasporti Italiani was an Italian carrier established in 2010, with its headquarters located in Marghera, Venice. The airline's primary base of operations was Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE). Initially launched under the name Eagles Airlines, it took over from Alpi Eagles and received backing from an investment company based in Sicily.
The airline began its service on 24 August 2010, initially connecting Venice with Lamezia Terme. It subsequently broadened its network to include destinations such as Catania, Reggio Calabria, and Rome Fiumicino.
After a court decision on 23 May 2011 ruled in favor of Alpi Eagles regarding the rights to the "Eagles" brand, the airline adopted the new name PRiMA Aero Trasporti Italiani starting 27 May 2011.
The company discontinued all flight operations as of 4 November 2011.
