In the airline context the Fascists were not particularly money grubbing, certainly not when it came to matters of prestige and passenger comfort.
The Italian government started Ala Littoria using Savoia-Marchetti aircraft in 1934. The company went on to invest in Iberia, acquiring a 12.5% stake in that airline shortly after the Spanish Civil War. Passenger comfort and speed of travel, regardless of cost, were priorities of these political flag carriers whose aircraft often flew the fascist symbol emblazoned on the tail.
In 1934 Ala Littoria established a world record for long distance civil flight, flying between Rome and Mogadiscio. In the following year the airline started a subsidiary carrier, the prestigious Linea dell'Impero. This flag carrier used the Cant Z.506, a triple engined float plane, on the route Rome-Benghazi in order to provide what was in those days a no expense spared service throughout what was the Italian Empire.
If one wishes to ascribe political motivation to cost cutting on airlines perhaps a scrutiny of Aeroflot might reveal that cost cutting was more an attribute of nations of the left than it has been of those on the right. Either argument is a tenuous one. The original statement that equates fascism with money grubbing is deeply flawed as a premise.
