Indonesian airline Lion Air
signed a one-billion-euro contract Thursday with Finmeccanica
subsidiary Alenia Aermacchi and French manufacturer Airbus SAS
to buy 40 planes from their jointly owned subsidiary, ATR. The
biggest ATR commission in 20 years was signed in Rome in the
presence of Premier Matteo Renzi and Finmeccanica CEO Mauro
Moretti. The deal "continues the consolidation of Finmeccanica
and is a small, significant step proving Italian industry has
not just a past but also a future," Renzi said.
