(ANSA) - Rome, November 21 - Ferrovie dello Stato (FS) state
controlled rail group said on Thursday that "necessary
conditions" still don't exist for creating a consortium on
Alitalia, but that it remains willing to participate in a rescue
of the troubled airline.
FS said it took into account that Lufthansa doesn't intend to
make an offer and motorway group Atlantia has pulled out while
Delta Airlines is only prepared to grant a 'micro-investment of
100 million euros.
Industry Minister Stefano Patuanelli said there is still "a
margin" for negotiation, with the possibility of a new deadline
extension - which would be the eighth - despite the looming risk
of liquidation.
