A press conference was the occasion to reiterate the interest of Ryanair to provide feeder services to intercontinental flights for Alitalia.
“Alitalia cannot continue losing money on domestic routes and cannot even afford to be able to compete on equal terms with a low-cost on these routes. The challenge for Alitalia, in the future, will be the one on the most profitable routes, โthe long-haul,โ but without the constraints imposed by the agreements with Delta and Air France,” said O’Leary.
