To decide the financing needed by Alitalia to face the serious liquidity problems “will be the shareholders”. To say it is the CEO of the national airline Andrea Ragnetti, from New York, where he spoke on the sidelines of the conference "Italy Meets the United States of America".
The financing "is a necessity for the company, the shareholders are aware of it, I am sure that a solution will be found", he added. Ragnetti did not go too far on the merits of the figures circulating, between 150 and 200 million euros. Finally, he reiterated that the first part of the loan will be discussed on the Board of Directors' agenda on Thursday, while speeches on shareholding are not scheduled for this date.
