Societa Alta Italia Transports Elicotteri (SAITE) was formed in Milan in July 1959 and it was planned to run experimental services between Milan, Elba, Venice, Trieste and Turin using a Sikorsky S-62. Two S-58s were chartered from Sabena for a time in 1960, but no helicopter services were planned for 1961, and Elipadana is no longer engaged in scheduled operations.
