Alitalia accepts Air France offer
Troubled Italian carrier Alitalia has agreed to be bought by
rival Air France for a cut-price 138m euros(£106m:$215m) in
a move to save the state airline.
The Italian government, which holds 49.9% of Alitalia, failed
to sell the company by auction in 2007.
Alitalia has lost money for five years, and has struggled to
clinch a buyout.
Air France-KLM offered one share per 160 Alitalia shares, valuing Alitalia at a low-value 0.10 euros a share.
That is a 81% reduction on Alitalia's current share price.
The offer includes plans for a 1bn euro capital injection by
the Franco-Dutch airline, which says it will also pay 608m
euros to buy back Alitalia bonds.

Alitalia has not posted an annual profit since 2002,
and is hit by frequent strikes over its desire to cut staff.
Italian unions also condemned the deal, saying Air France
was only interested in getting Italian passengers to its
hubs in Paris and Amsterdam in order to sell long-haul
flights.
