Alitalia unions informed of proposals to trim routes and fleet
Alitalia’s new commissioner has detailed proposals for trimming part of the carrier’s operations, during meetings with key unions. Commissioner Giuseppe Leogrande took over as a single commissioner for the carrier, which remains in extraordinary administration, after plans fell through for a consortium of investors to take over the airline. Union FIT-CISL says Leogrande informed members of proposals to close unprofitable routes and reduce the fleet by 3 aircraft, from 113 to 110. The aircraft would be withdrawn through the end of leases. FILT-CGIL says the network closures would be aimed at long-haul routes. FILT-CGIL chief Fabrizio Cuscito says: “There was also talk of the possible impact of route closures on the extent of lay-offs for pilots and cabin crew.” But no details have been finalised, he adds. <br/>
