'''C.A.I. First S.p.A.''' was<ref name="closure"/> an Italian airline operating flights for its parent company, [[Alitalia]], to preserve slots at [[Milan Linate Airport]]. For this reason Alitalia when merged with [[Air One]] didn't close C.A.I. First, which at that time still operated as '''Alitalia Express'''. It used to have bases at [[Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino Airport]] in Rome and [[Malpensa Airport]] in Milan.<ref name="FI">{{cite news | title= Directory: World Airlines | work= [[Flight International]] | page= 73 | date= 27 March 2007}}</ref> C.A.I. First was dissolved and merged into Alitalia mainline by February 2015.<ref name="closure"/>

The name ''C.A.I. First'' was only a legal name and wasn't used in public, all of its flights were branded as ''Alitalia''.
