Between 2000 and 2005, a total of four A319 have been delivered to the Italian AF and assigned to 31° Stormo / 306° Gruppo tasked with VIP transport duties. While the 1st A319ACJ (serialled MM62173) had already been sold to the Turkish Government by April 2005 as TC-TCB, the three remaining (MM62174, MM62209 and MM62243) as of May 2025 are soldiering on from their base at Roma/Ciampino airport (LIRA). MM62243 shown here on a rare state visit to Switzerland's capital was the last of the four airframes and was delivered on July 21, 2005.
