Alitalia ‘running out of fuel’

Italy’s national airline, Alitalia, may have to cancel some flights because of a lack of funds to buy fuel, a top official has warned.

Augusto Fantozzi, Alitalia’s bankruptcy administrator, made the comments as he called unions to emergency talks a day after the latest session broke down.


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

Alitalia later issued a note it said was sent by Mr Fantozzi, which said: “There are difficulties relating to the supply of fuel which could put some flights at risk,” Reuters news agency said.
