Lufthansa plans network from Milan
11 September 2008Lufthansa is moving aggressively into the north Italian market to take advantage of the parlous state of Alitalia.
The heavily loss-making Italian airline was locked in talks with the government, trades unions and potential investors about the terms for a last-ditch rescue as its operations were hit again by cancellations and industrial action.
The German flag carrier said it was planning to base six Airbus A319 short-haul jets at Milan’s Malpensa airport to launch a network of direct point-to-point services between Milan and leading European cities.
