It will be a day of inconvenience for travelers Alitalia. The Anpac proclaimed a 24-hour strike of the pilots and flight attendants and Alitalia announced the cancellation in advance of about 15% of the flights scheduled for today. They are lifted for short and medium haul flights. There is no cancellation for the long-haul flights to North America, South America and the Far East. Tough statement from the company that speaks of an act “disrespectful” towards passengers, colleagues and Alitalia workers of the national air transportation system, which in the past two months have made “sacrifices” to allow a return to normality, after ‘ Fiumicino Airport fire. Passengers affected by canceled are entitled to re-routing of flights Alitalia alternative, changing their reservation by July 30, or the full repayment of the ticket.
Alitalia considers “specious the reasons of the strike put forward by the union Anpac, as Cityliner on July 21 reached an agreement with major improvements with six trade unions.” Additionally, the hypothesis of the 1,000 redundancies in 2016 is the result of pure imagination, and without any substance.
The agreement specifically provides for the launch in September of a new pay structure for pilots and flight attendants of the regional carrier in the path towards the standardization of contracts with Alitalia; They are also reviewed shifts and settles Cityliner which constitutes the input channel in the privileged group. But the Anpac emphasizes the ‘waste enterprise put pen to paper the commitment to maintain employment levels “of crews at the end of solidarity.
Meanwhile, the leaders of Alitalia continue the expansion plan of the company focused mainly on long-haul. It was completed the purchase of 78 Boeing 250-400 from places of which most are 787. 14% of the 787 is built in Italy that has the excellence of carbon fiber. This fleet expansion responds to the goal of winning new market share in the long-range focus on the United States. The challenge is with large companies such as Emirates.
