Alitalia CEO Cramer Ball on
Monday informed the board of a "plan, already launched, for a
drastic reduction of costs that sees an already identified
saving - not concerning staff costs - of at least 160 million
euros in 2017".
The board of the struggling Italian flag-carrier ratified the
appointment of Roland Berger and KPMG as external consultants -
the former for the business plan, the latter on the financial
one - and said they were already at work on providing an
independent assessment of the relaunch plan prepared by the
company's CEO and management.
The Alitalia board and shareholders "unanimously confirmed
their full commitment to backing the management in reaching the
objectives set out in the relaunch plan", a statement said after
the board met.
