'Urgent' to find out why Cassano quit - CGIL

(ANSA) - Rome, September 18 - It is "urgent" to find out why Alitalia CEO Silvano Cassano quit, Italy's biggest trade union CGIL said Friday.
    "The news comes totally unexpected to us and we don't know the reasons," said the head of GCIL's air transport section, Nino Cortorillo, after Cassano stepped down citing personal reasons.
    "It's urgent to find out, a year after Etihad came in, if the causes of this resignation are due to a reshuffle at the top or they can be linked to the results of the (relaunch) plan and the problems that have emerged at Fiumicino", Cortorillo said.
    Fiumicino has been beset by problems this summer with a major fire causing a closure after it happened and also weeks afterwards when high levels of toxic air pollutants were found.
