ROME, Oct. 12 (Xinhua) -- ITA, the new airline set to emerge from the near-collapse of Italy's flag carrier Alitalia, is still undecided about whether to operate direct flights to China, Alitalia Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Fabio Lazzerini has said.
Lazzerini, appointed as the CEO to transform Alitalia into ITA, was quoted by multiple Italian news sites on Monday as discussing the plans for ITA, which is an acronym for Italia Trasporto Aereo (Italian Air Transport) as well as a common abbreviation for Italy, the airline's home base. The Alitalia press office confirmed Lazzerini's comments were accurate when contacted by Xinhua.
