Alitalia ‘could be grounded this week’

Monday, 22 Sep, 2008 0

Debt ridden Alitalia may be forced to ground all flights this week unless a financial rescue package is put in place.

Italian aviation authorities have reportedly warned that the airline’s operating licence could be removed within days unless a cost cutting plan emerges.

His comments came after a bid by investor group CAI fell through on Friday due to opposition by six unions
