Alitalia Extraordinary Commissioner
Luigi Gubitosi blasted Friday's transport strike, which he said
had caused the troubled airline to cancel 170 of its 622 flights
scheduled for the day. "Strikes on Friday in summer are
irresponsible," he said. "Our first 15 flights of the day went
ahead as normal and all the intercontinental services will fly.
We are trying to turn black Friday into grey Friday". At the en
of the day Alitalia said virtually none of their pilots had
struck and only half of groundstaff compared to a previous
strike. It said it had only had to cancel two flights on the
actual day of the strike.
