ROME - Italy’s government will inject fresh capital worth at least 3 billion euros in the ailing carrier Alitalia, which is being nationalised following financial problems, Industry Minister Stefano Patuanelli said on Thursday. Alitalia has endured 11 years of difficult private management and three failed restructuring attempts, problems exacerbated by the coronavirus crisis that has devastated the global airline industry.
Under state control, the carrier “will focus strongly on long-haul routes, also with new transatlantic alliances,” Patuanelli said speaking at the Italian Senate.Reporting by Giuseppe Fonte; editing by Agnieszka Flak
Fantastico, proprio quello di cui c'era bisogno. La priorità numero 1.
amlivemon What a waste of money. But demanding hundreds of billions from the EU
MHiesboeck What a shame
Como os outros injectam, a tugaria também injecta! Viva a TAP, companhia que só come o dinheiro dos portugueses, todos os anos!
socialism - a political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole.
I don't even know why we have the least competitive airline on the planet in Italy. It's be better to remove all bureaucracy and the ridiculously limiting restrictions Italy imposes than wasting taxpayers money all the time.
Best airline ever.
State Aid* (the rules can go to hell when the EU say so).
