Alitalia names six potential buyers including AF, LH
Alitalia's board met yesterday regarding potential sale of the carrier and released a shortlist of six potential buyers following consultation with Citigroup and industrial adviser Roland Berger.
The list comprises Aeroflot, Air France KLM, AP Holding (Air One), Cordata Baldassarre, Lufthansa and TPG (formerly Texas Pacific Group). The Italian government wants to sell most of its 49.9% in AZ and asked Chairman Maurizio Prato, who was appointed in July, to identify potential buyers after its own selloff efforts failed.
