Alitalia's extraordinary
commissioners have OK'd a bid for the troubled airline from
Ferrovie dello Stato (FS) rail company, sources said Tuesday.
FS, the sources said, has received a letter from the
commissioners saying their bid "has been positively evaluated"
by the commissioners, "having heard from the relevant minister".
FS CEO Gianfranco Battisti said earlier in the day FS was
talking to "many operators including EasyJet" on Alitalia.
"We are seeing great attention towards FS's planning
capacity," he said.
"We will soon be able to announce something concrete," he
said.
Battisti added: "we have made our offer and are ready to go,
we are awaiting the industry ministry".
He said the business plan would be put off till January.
