AF-EasyJet-Delta-Cerberus consortium for Alitalia

Efforts are being made for a 4-way consortium, made up of Air France, EasyJet, Delta and Cerberus, to buy Alitalia, sources said Thursday. This is one of the hypotheses being explored before exclusive negotiations are opened with a potential buyer for the troubled carrier, which was put into extraordinary administration last year after staff rejected a restructuring plan. The consortium has requested a meeting next week with Alitalia's extraordinary commissioners and this is likely to take place Feb 22, the sources said. Alitalia was the world's most punctual airline in January with 91.89% of flights arriving on time. The January data follow those for 2017 which confirm "the excellent operational trend of the airline," FlightStats said, "with 82.78% of flights arriving on time, placing it third among main European airlines". <br/>
