Alitalia, Fit-Cisl: Lufthansa's interest confirms the value of the company

Rome, November 10 (askanews) – The announcement that "Lufthansa has bridged the gap and expressed interest in Alitalia Siri's undersecretary is positive and confirms the value of our national carrier". Fit-Cisl Deputy Secretary General Salvatore Pellecchia said the following after rumors about a possible return of the German group on the track of an agreement with Alitalia. "Most likely," says Pellecchia, "the unsuccessful attempts at salvage previously carried out did not sufficiently consider the true value of Alitalia and take insufficient account of the fact that the Italian air transport market has grown and will continue to grow. This general feeling does not help to understand that Alitalia is a strategic company for the Italian economy, especially our union is also a country with a strong tourist vocation. "" We need a strong national carrier, believes the It is therefore important to understand if Lufthansa is interested in Alitalia or the Italian market.They are functional for the development of the economies of other countries and not of Italy. "" Certainly – adds Pellecchia – the messages that the possible interventions on the ivano staff do not rebadure us.They are however in contradiction with the badurances given by the ministr e Di Maio on October 12. A month after this meeting, however, the minister has not yet activated the comparison table announced, not even to take stock of the situation. We ask him to intervene in this direction because of the weather, given the imminent deadlines, that's enough.
