Opmerkelijk bericht overname Alitalia kon wel eens uitgesteld worden,door deze onderstaande veiling weet Air France niet wat zij kopen ,Alitalia met of zonder Volare,lijkt mij moeilijk om dan de waarde vast te stellen,zouden zij een bod inclusief en ook bod exclusief Volare geven dan bepalen zij in priciepe de bieding voor Volare,lekker simpel voor de concurrenten,nee ik zie uitstel aankomen.
Alitalia in court setback over Volare takeover

Italy’s highest administrative appeals court ruled on Monday that Alitalia’s purchase in 2006 of Volare, a low-cost airline, had been irregular and that the tender process should be repeated.
Industry analysts said the ruling by the Consiglio di Stato could complicate the takeover of Alitalia by Air France-KLM which has until March 14 to make a binding offer for the loss-making airline, including the long-haul assets of Volare.
The appeals court ruled in favour of Air One, a private Italian airline, which had bid unsuccessfully for Volare in 2006 and for Alitalia in December 2007, Air One said. The court said parties had 30 days to submit new bids.
Volare, heavily in debt, declared insolvency in 2004 after its operations ground to a halt, stranding passengers in several countries. Alitalia bid €38m at a time when it was also losing money and had previously resorted to state aid to survive.
In November Ryanair filed a complaint against the European Commission over what it called unfair state aid to Alitalia and Volare.
Air One has separately appealed against a ruling by the Lazio regional administrative court that said Alitalia was in its rights to continue exclusive takeover talks with Air France-KLM.
Under Alitalia’s slimmed-down summer 2008 plans, Volare, which has been rebranded as Volareweb, was to fly to 23 destinations across Europe from Milan’s Malpensa airport. Air Europe, which had been part of the Volare group in 2004, was to fly eight intercontinental routes, according to the new Alitalia plan that was announced on February 5 to stave off bankruptcy.
