Italy’s Atlantia to join investors to relaunch Alitalia
Italian infrastructure group Atlantia is set to join the consortium of investors led by railway company Ferrovie dello Stato (FS) to rescue Alitalia, paving the way to relaunch the carrier, more than 2 years after filing for bankruptcy. After assessing the expressions of interest received, the FS board said it has identified Rome airport operator Atlantia as a partner to join investors Delta Air Lines and the Italian govt, which wants to make the airline the cornerstone of a multimodal transport strategy to boost Italian tourism. “FS will start working with the designated partners as soon as possible to share an industrial plan and the other elements of the potential offer,” it added. Atlantia confirmed interest in taking part in the Alitalia relaunch just a few days ahead of the July 15 deadline. <br/>
