"We expect the European Commission to intervene to suspend this manifestly illegal aid." Strong comment from Iag, the holding company that controls British Airways, Iberia and Vueling, which does not share the latest developments on Alitalia and in particular the intervention of Poste Italiane, to "save" the compagnia flag area.
“We have always been against any form of state aid. It is protectionism, it undermines competition and favors failing airlines that are out of step with economic reality,” Iag added.
