Alitalia ‘could be grounded this week’
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.
The boss of the country’s civil aviation authority ENAC Vito Riggio was reported in local media as saying: “If the financial plan doesn’t arrive in three to four days the licence will be suspended.â€
His comments came after a bid by investor group CAI fell through on Friday due to opposition by six unions
