Alitalia Società Aerea Italiana S.p.A. is back in the news

New #Alitalia Runs Into Headwinds From EU Over Slots (Reuters) -Talks between the European Union and Italy on a restructuring plan for Alitalia face a stumbling block as the European Commission demands the carrier give up a significant number of airport slots, three sources close to the matter said.
I am considering to provide consultancy to Italian government on the matter.
My 1st advice will be- give up all slots EU wants- new Alitalia do not need them at all. Second- I was born in the USSR and I know for sure- profitable business and socialism can't go together.
And if you start not with the proper modern model but with Unions happiness you will collapse for sure Alitalia to be successful needs a completely new fleet.
All current planes have to be sold or returned to lessors.
You can't compete with others using outdated fleet.
The only advantage of re-start in pandemic is availability of any planes you need.

Another important point is that Russia is willing to bring #Superjet back to #Europe and #Alitalia is an excellent opportunity.
You can expect serious financing and 20-30 Superjets shortly.

Finally I got enough understanding for such matters with Russian authorities on the highest level.

On the main advantage of #Superjet is that it need a very short runway and can use the cheapest airports.

And just a reminder: we are able to invest in any airline with valid AOC in Europe willing to try #Superjets
