(Teleborsa) – After Ryanair, EasyJet could also abandon the tender for Alitalia. According to an article in Milano Finanza, the British low-cost airline could change its mind due to the resignation of CEO Carolyn McCall and the ongoing offer for Air Berlin assets.
Meanwhile, time flies by, given that there are only 12 days left before the presentation of the binding offers.
"We are one less", Transport Minister Graziano Delrio said yesterday, commenting on the news of the withdrawal of the Irish low-cost carrier Ryanair from the tender for the award of Alitalia assets, adding: "there are other offers and therefore we will evaluate them when the deadlines will expire".
The Minister of Economic Development, Carlo Calenda, also spoke on the subject, recalling that "Alitalia is very complicated but for me there is a priority: I don't want Italian citizens to put more money into it and this comes before any other consideration because on Alitalia we have put in about 8 billion and a solution has not been found”. “Last time – said the minister during an interview with diMartedi – there were private investors. The workers have decided to block the deal. We are not willing to continue to put citizens' public money into it ”.
