EasyJet confirms interest in Alitalia
EasyJet has confirmed it is among the parties that have expressed an interest in troubled Alitalia, which is separately facing strike disruption June 17. Etihad Airways' equity partner Alitalia went into special administration in May after employees voted against a labour agreement, which was critical to the carrier’s turnaround plan. Special commissioners called for parties to declare their interest by June 5, which attracted 32 expressions of interest, including Ryanair that is interested in a connecting flight partnership. “We can confirm we are interested,” CE Carolyn McCall said June 14. In general, McCall described Italy as a core market for EasyJet and said she sees further opportunities there. <br/>
