“The plan submitted by Alitalia on March 16 includes equity and credit lines amounting to 2 billion euros,” Economic Development Minister Carlo Calenda tells lawmakers in Rome.
- Under plan, EU900m will be provided by Etihad and EU1.1b by shareholders and Italian creditors
- “Alitalia is and must remain a private company and the impact on state finances must be contained to the bare minimum, that not only to comply with EU rules, but also because we are aware of the results obtained in the past also under public management and of the costs sustained by Italian taxpayers”
