Default Alitalia and Spainair

Hi all,

Has anyone heard any more on the future of these airlines. I remember hearing about the possibility of them closing but have not heard anything foir a while.

rellies are looking to purchase flights in Europe with them.

Not trying to start anything, just need to know if anything.

From Saturday's Airline Route Updates:

Quote:
Potential Alitalia cancellations
Alitalia may be forced to cancel some flights on Sunday due to lack of funds for fuel supply purchasing.

According to BBC Report

Alitalia later issued a note it said was sent by Augusto Fantozzi, Alitalia's bankruptcy administrator, which said: "There are difficulties relating to the supply of fuel which could put some flights at risk," Reuters news agency said.

***
The unions earlier quoted him as saying flights could not be "guaranteed" because we cannot "get fuel".

The latest rescue plan of Alitalia has fallen apart earlier this week as the union rejected the proposal.
The slow death seems to be speeding up.
