Wizz Air interested in Alitalia

According to the information of the Italian press, the Hungarian company Wizz Air made an offer for purchasing Alitalia. The reports claim that the liquidators contacted 32 applicants recently who have shown interest in buying the airline company. It seems that Lufthansa’s requirements are too high.

Though the press depicted Lufthansa-holding as the most probable buyer of Alitalia, there are multiple candidates for purchasing the Italian company.

Aero.de suggests that the Italian media reported about 32 applicants which Alitalia contacted because of a possible purchase. These companies showed interest in Alitalia or its fragments last summer.

The preparation of the selling is still in progress. The future of the employees seemed to be the most critical issue during the discussions with Lufthansa. The German holding intends to decrease the number of workers, while the Italian party tries to save as many jobs for their former employees as possible. Lufthansa insists that the current owners should execute the dismissal of a certain number of workers before they sell the company.

The most recent reports state that Wizz Air is also interested in buying Alitalia.
