Following submission of easyJet's non-binding expression of interest in a restructured Alitalia in October 2018, easyJet has confirmed that 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 Alitalia.
EasyJet stressed 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.
