Delta and easyJet confirm talks over joint bid for Alitalia

Following easyJet’s expression of interest in a restructured Alitalia in October last year, easyJet today (February 14) confirmed it is in discussions with Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane and Delta Air Lines about forming a consortium to explore options for the future operations of the airline.

“There is no certainty at this stage that any transaction will proceed and easyJet will provide a further update in due course, if and when appropriate,” easyJet said in a statement.
