June 29, 2020 "We have identified Francesco Caio as president of the new company, and Fabio Lazzerini as managing director". The Prime Minister, Giuseppe Conte, announced it on the Alitalia dossier in a post on Facebook. "The newly appointed top will be able to work immediately, with the advisors already identified by the Ministry of Economy, on the new business plan, which will then be notified to the European Commission", adds Conte.

The Prime Minister reports: "In these days we have been working on the Alitalia dossier in order to proceed rapidly with the signing of the new company, through a decree proposed by Minister Gualtieri and co-signed by ministers De Micheli, Patuanelli and Catalfo. We have shared the guidelines that they will guide the industrial plan which must allow the pursuit of corporate strategies in the name of economic management, in order to face, with full competitive ability, the complex challenges of the post-Covid air transport market 19 ".

The summit was identified "in the context of sharing this overall strategy, which also envisages a reform of national air transport". Conte stresses that "this decision allows a decisive acceleration of the project concerning the new company, as prefigured in the relaunch decree.

We are in a hurry to proceed and relaunch a national carrier that can offer maximum guarantees not only of effective and efficient business management, but also to enhance the entire national transport system, taking advantage of the opportunities that intermodality and the new world phase can offer to our air transport market, which is the second in Europe ".

De Micheli: "New era"
"Alitalia can and must be relaunched: this is our goal since the establishment of the government. In an international market framework that is profoundly different from the past, we wanted not only to deepen all the opportunities that can be opened to the air sector of our country but also make a large industrial transport and tourism investment. This is why the choice of management is strategic.

Today's acceleration with the designation of Caio and Lazzerini opens a new era for the flag carrier and the qualities professional of the president and of the CEO we are sure they will develop the conditions for a new great company, as this country deserves. Our full trust goes to them. To them, now, the responsibility and the honor of relaunching with the new Alitalia " . So the Transport Minister Paola De Micheli on Facebook.
