An unexpected stop, which also coincides with the start of Phase 2. The flight should resume in late May.

“The cancellation of the Rome-New York route, if confirmed, is a serious mistake. We are surprised that the decision to suspend flights to New York was made by Alitalia after the hearing of the Chamber of Transport Committee of Deputies – says a note from the Fit-Cisl union, and when listening to informal sources it would seem that the election was motivated by economic convenience and by the will of the crews not to stay more than 24 hours (which would only happen in case of cancellation of the flight leaving from Rome the next day, ed.) However, both arguments seem pretexts and unsustainable to us. “
“The issue of length of stay, the note continues, is truly manageable and therefore responsibility for this choice, which we believe to be incorrect, cannot be attributed to teams that, from the commissioner’s inception, started three years ago and to this day in the midst of the Covid-19 emergency, they have been giving their best. As for the issue of economic sustainability, it is misleading because, as is known, air transport worldwide is setting the right pace to the health emergency. Canceling this route means diverting Alitalia passengers to other companies like AirFrance, which recently suspended sales due to overbooking, just on the way to Jfk airport. If we consider that the other companies have maintained the relationship, not only is the inappropriate and serious nature of the election confirmed, but a managerial choice, the long-term disconnect, is identified, identified by various authoritative sources as the cau It’s from the past and the current ills of Alitalia. “
“Therefore, we hope that there will be a late occurrence – the union organization concludes – because at a delicate moment like this some other operator could fill the gap left by our company to acquire a valuable portion of the market to be exploited after the emergency of Covid-19 By canceling it, you risk voiding the commitment, efforts, and sacrifices that Alitalia workers are making.Establishing the NewCo without valuable routes, like Rome-New York, means starting off on the wrong foot. effective by Ministers Patuanelli, De Micheli and Catalfo to block an action that could seriously harm Alitalia workers and, therefore, the Italian economy. “
