(ANSA) - Berlin, September 18 - Boeing is a possible partner
for troubled Italian airline Alitalia while Lufthansa is "not
among the more strategic partners," Transport Minister Danilo
Toninelli said Tuesday.
Boeing, he said "can certainly be considered a partner,
considering the fact that it builds plane and we need a lot of
them," he said.
Asked about Lufthansa, the minister said: "Today I would not
talk of airlines in particular, even though I think Lufthansa is
not among the more strategic partners".
Toninelli said "I think that October may be a month in which
some issues can be solved, but certainly by the end of the year
we will have a solution".
