Alitalia Stresses Continued Improvement in Passenger Revenue
Progress on the sale of the Italian flag carrier remains unclear, as Air France-KLM weighs withdrawing from a rescue deal.

Driven by what it described as the “excellent” performance of its international and intercontinental network, Italy’s embattled flag carrier Alitalia increased passengers carried and passenger revenues in January for the fourteenth consecutive month. Passenger revenues rose 4 percent year-on-year without aircraft fleet expansion, Alitalia said Friday.
