State-owned post office Poste
Italiane on Friday agreed to acquire a 20% stake of a
200-million-euro equity commitment in troubled Italian carrier
Alitalia.
Poste Italiane said earlier in July that further investment
in the struggling national carrier is conditional upon reviewing
the "industrial plan and company structure" of an expected
560-million-euro investment deal with Abu Dhabi-based airline
Etihad.
Alitalia received a 75-million-euro capital
injection from Poste Italiane in December 2013 as part of a
government-engineered 500-million-euro rescue package.
