Negotiations between Lufthansa and ITA Airways are progressing

Potential deal between two airlines nears completion

Significant steps are being taken towards closing an agreement between the Italian Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF) and Lufthansa for the German aviation giant's potential investment in ITA Airways. Information gathered indicates that negotiations are at an advanced stage and an agreement is expected to be reached by the end of the day. Key items on the agenda include "corrective measures", in particular some airport slots at Milan-Linate, which would be redistributed to other competitors to ensure competitive fairness in the air transport market.
