The Italian government is likely to select a buyer for new national airline Italia Trasporto Aereo in the “next few weeks,” according to the carrier’s chief executive officer, Fabio Lazzerini.
ITA, the successor to failed Alitalia SpA, expects a transaction to be completed by the end of the year, Lazzerini said in an interview on the sidelines of the International Air Transport Association’s annual gathering in Doha.
