Alitalia, Tarlazzi (Uilt): “Coa good for Ita, but now operational in mid-October”

” It is a good thing that Ita has received the Coa, this allows him to leave. We hope that the opening will take place within the pre-established times, i.e. in mid-October, even if the latest events for the launch of calls on Alitalia leave us worried ”. The national secretary of Uiltrasporti, Claudio Tarlazzi, thus comments to Adnkronos the green light for the new Ita company. ” We are also worried about Ita’s industrial plan which is not adequate for self-sustaining – explains Tarlazzi-. It is imperative that the fleet increase in 2022 with new generation aircraft. We are also against the decision of the EU which requires the new company not to have a majority in handling and maintenance ”. ” Another major problem is the staff – adds Tarlazzi -. The new company will have to be able to guarantee full employment for Alitalia employees, which is why the fleet must be well planned to face the contestable market. A ‘small’ Ita will not be able to stay on the market, despite public intervention. ” Finally Tarlazzi asks the government to start ” a restructuring of the air transport sector, with equal rules for all, while today the low cost in our country. More competition and transparency are needed for companies operating in Italy. In addition to an airport plan that must be reformed with fairer rates to compete on equal terms ”.
