Italian transport group Atlantia could join a rescue of loss-making Alitalia to try to win favour with the govt and secure the future of its own domestic business following a deadly bridge collapse last year, sources said. Atlantia, controlled by the Benetton family, faces the loss of its entire national motorway concession in a bitter dispute with the govt, which erupted after last year's disaster on its toll network killed 43 people. The govt blamed Atlantia for the tragedy, saying it had failed to adequately maintain the aging bridge, and vowed to revoke the concession, worth 58% of group revenue. However, sources familiar with the matter said Atlantia could mend relations with the govt by joining a rescue of Alitalia, which Rome is desperate to save, and possibly be rewarded with a reprieve on its motorway concession. <br/>

Kenya Airways and Delta Air Lines have signed a codeshare agreement that will open connectivity to 11 US and 4 Canadian cities. Kenya Airways Group MD and CE Sebastian Mikosz said the partnership will “open up opportunities for customers to access more destinations in North America through NY JFK.” Mikosz added that New York continues to be a strategic route for Kenya Airways, which launched in October 2018, a first of its kind in the (East African) region. Beginning in June, Kenya Airways will increase its frequency to JFK from 5X-weekly to daily. “The market has shown us extremely high seasonality. We are now back to daily, then we will return to 5X-weekly services after the high season,” Mikosz said. <br/>
