Alitalia, Calenda the attack, “The company was poorly managed” – Corriere della Sera

Dura reprimanded by the minister of Development, Carlo Calenda, at the top of Alitalia. The company “was handled poorly”, said Calenda’s talking a Radio anch’io. “It is a fully private enterprise that has significant problems of management. There is no talk of redundancies, the first to speak of the industrial plan. No company is save without the industrial plan — has pointed out. The faults of the management not to discharge workers”.

The encounter to Put

The attack comes three days after the meeting I had to Put them with the management of the airline and with all the representatives of the shareholders. In which the government has asked the company to submit a plan shared by all the shareholders, including the banks Intesa Sanpaolo and Unicredit. The strategy of the next five years, Alitalia is the study of the chief executive officer Cramer Ball. That would have prepared a piles of 158 pages. Revolutionizing the short and medium range. Closing, if necessary, some sections strongly at a loss. And expanding, if possible, the supply on the long-haul. The most profitable. Especially to north-America. With the side of the government, by activating the bilateral relations with the United States to convince Delta Airlines to grant the rights to fly to some destinations (San Francisco and Los Angeles).

The issue of trade unions

The unions have meanwhile formally opened the dispute. Expect a sharp cut in the cost of working with a number of not yet quantified, of the redundancies. Will require the social safety nets and plans of relocation to the surplus. The meeting Began, there was Luca Cordero di Montezemolo, chairman of Alitalia. It was in Abu Dhabi to meet with shareholders of Etihad (and fund Aabar for Unicredit), to convince them of the necessity of a change. Sources close to the dossier indicate the need on the part of the banks of a discontinuity in the relationship with Etihad, to 49% of Alitalia. James Hogan, currently a vice president of the company, it would be towards the exit. In the board of directors should enter a component of the Abu Dhabi government, a shareholder in the mount of Etihad. Because this would require a comparison of the straits between the shareholders in the Board.
