Alitalia, Etihad: secured by the 31st or no signature

The Abu Dhabi-based company has launched an ultimatum to the former national carrier: without securing the company, the conditions for investing are missing – On the Post Office front, it seems that a solution has been reached, while the union agreement is still there.

More funds are needed for the "security" of Alitalia, otherwise the conditions for investing are lacking. The ultimatum arrives from Ethiad directly to the CEO Gabriele Del Torchio and the president Roberto Colaninno via email in the afternoon. According to agreements, the signing was expected by July 31, but at the moment the conditions are not met.

According to the CEO of Etihad James Hogan, there are also no answers on three points: "A final decision on the dispute with Toto, the confirmation of a final agreement with the unions, the confirmation of the preliminary go-ahead from the EU regarding state aid or otherwise that Nuova Alitalia will be guaranteed against any claim”.

The letter from the Abu Dhabi company has also put pressure on the Government, which has convened a summit for tomorrow, while on the Postal front, the situation seems to have taken the right track, with the group led by Caio willing to invest heavily in a midcompany . It still remains to be seen how many of the old shareholders will participate in the capital increase, while an agreement on the union front still seems far away.
