Laws rewritten to save Alitalia

by Chris on September 4th, 2008

Apparently, the Italians aren’t happy about consolidation in the airline industry, or perhaps they want to remain a country in the eyes of the late Frank Zappa. Either way, they’ve changed the laws to make sure Alitalia will live on, although whether it will be a healthy life remains to be seen. Given the tough economy for airlines, I tend to think it’s prolonging the agony more than anything else.

If you’ve flown Alitalia, let us know whether this is a good thing or not.
