Please try again Alitalia. Introduced today yet another reactivation plan for the national airline, time will tell if the time is really right. Time is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, the air transport sector is in its worst crisis, on the other hand, this situation dilutes the specific and chronic difficulties of Alitalia in the sea of losses in which even the most virtuous carriers now float. In the hope that in the widespread “confusion”, the European restrictions on public aid will be relaxed a bit.
The new Alitalia was born small, “with 52 aircraft and a number of employees that ranged from 5,200 and 5,500“Said the CEO, Fabio Lazzerini, presenting the outline of the 2021-2025 plan. Currently employed there are more than 10 thousand. The fleet will be “modern, as ecological as possible and homogeneous. And he will immediately focus on the long range, ”Lazzerini continued. The first objective of the group will be the sustainability of the accounts.
“Profitability is the number one goal. We have a balanced goal before fleet costs in 2022 and positive Ebit (earnings before interest and taxes, ed) in 2023 ″ added the CEO, “The targets by 2025 they expect 3.4 billion revenue, 93 routes, an ebit of 7%, 80 new generation aircraft and 9,500 employees“This was stated by the CEO, Fabio Lazzerini, when presenting the outline of the 2021-2025 plan for the new Alitalia, Ita Spa. Given the modest size, the search for a partner is essential.” We believe that we will close the new association in 2021, “Lazzerini said. The new Alitalia aims to create a network at Linate designed for profitable business customers. President Francesco fell He stated that the intention is to “Create a competitive vector capable of being measured in the market that has environmental and economic sustainability as an element of identity.”
The unions, however, are already on the warpath.. “It cannot be shared because it is absolutely unacceptable for us”, thus united Filt Cgil, Fit Cisl, Uiltrasporti and Ugl Air Transport they judge the business plan. “With just over 50 airplanes, we are moving towards starting a mini-company, characterized by an unsatisfactory plan from all points of view, industrial and labor. More courage is needed – ask the unions – from the shareholder Mef, to give a clear direction to the board of directors and the CEO, since the 3 billion, invested by the government they were meant to relaunch Alitalia and all air travel, not loot. ” According to a study by Mediobanca, Alitalia has already cost Italian taxpayers around 7.4 billion euros to which, however, we must now add the 3,000 million from the last intervention and other loans disbursed in the last two years, which raises the total disbursement above 12 billion.
