Re: Alitalia saved by the Government and reborn as ITA

To add to Alitalia's problems the EU is forcing them to reduce their share of LIN slots from 67% to 50%. Volotea have already got some summer slots there and there's talk of Ryanair and Wizzair taking some too.

Re: Alitalia saved by the Government and reborn as ITA

Thanks to André Orban for his summary today of the latest plans for Alitalia. Finally the Italians seem to have right idea and just focus on profitable routes.

Re: Alitalia saved by the Government and reborn as ITA

ITA is expected to use only B787s for long haul and to replace its 20 Embraers with A220s because Alenia Aermacchi makes parts for both planes.

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2020

Nationalise SN and merge it with Alitalia. 2 well-positioned hubs and most of Europe within 2 hours.

Very sad, this is a great blow to UK aviation, but not surprising. Although the staff were very friendly the company never seemed to have a clear focus. They were always changing their flights and airports, especially in London. I used to use them to get to NQY but their service became erratic. Now ...
