More state money for ITA Airways: the state-owned airline is close to a further government cash injection of US$400 million, as the newly elected government reviews the plans to sell the state-controlled carrier in the coming months. Poor Italian taxpayer!

ITA Airways is close to welcoming Antonino Turicchi as its new chairman, following the recent resignation (or rather ouster) of Alfredo Altavilla. It remains to be seen whether MSC and Lufthansa will formalise a new offer for the carrier.
