Industry Minister Stefano
Patuanelli on Wednesday signed a "conditional" extension until
November 21 of a deadline to present a binding offer for
Alitalia asked by Ferrovie dello Stato (FS) and Atlantia.
Rail group FS and motorway group Atlantia are aiming to
rescue the troubled Italian airline along with Delta Airlines of
the USA.
Patuanelli set two conditions: 1) the direct intervention of
the airline's extraordinary commissioners and immediate talks
with bidders; and 2) a request for daily updates on progress in
the talks.
