Re: Alitalia again near bankruptcy

Re: Replacement of Brussels Airlines' Boeing & Avro RJ fleet
There are a lot of E-jets becoming available now from Flybe and AA. They are about the same size as Avro RJs and could be considered as their replacement.

Re: Alitalia again near bankruptcy
It seems that Etihad's plan for AZ includes leaving MXP completely, greatly reducing flights between LIN and FCO and using the slots for new European and North African flights. Maybe expanding LIN in the longer term. It looks like a sensible plan. Nevertheless local government officials are not happ...

The statement said:
"Any issues that may prevent the establishment of an appropriate business plan will have to be resolved to ensure the plan can be implemented to move Alitalia to sustainable profitability"
Good luck to all concerned.

Re: Ryanair in 2014
Great work Established 2 Thank you I never imagined that FR could fly between major airports for near their usual prices and I was too lazy to check. I'm glad to be proved wrong. They are going to have a great future. http://www.theguardian.com/business/shortcuts/2013/nov/08/michael-o-leary-33-dafte...

Re: Alitalia again near bankruptcy
Etihad have offered to buy 49% of AZ, but are expected to get about 35%, they have plans to create a hub at FCO.
Poste Italia are not happy because they don't want any one share holder to have more than 10%.

It seems that AZ has got it's 300 millon Euro capital increase, thanks to the intervention of Poste Italia, and Etihad has reportedly requested access to AZ's detailed financial figures in order to assess the possibility of an investment. http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/12/11/us-alitalia-etihad-...

Italian culture is a marketing dream; food, wine, coffee, style, flair, hospitality, love of life, etc. and many companies around the world have used it to great success.
