Evolavia - Italian Innovation

Evolavia is an interesting innovative success story. It concentrates on selling tickets on a small number of routes whilst subcontracting the flying to well established charter carriers. Whilst this is not unique (e.g. Iceland Express operate in a similar way) it does mean that there can be a variety of on-board service standards depending upon the route chosen.
