ROME, April 30 (Reuters) - Italy is feeling the lack of a strong national airline which could boost tourism and the economy as the country comes out of the pandemic, Salvatore Ferragamo’s executive vice chairman said on Friday.
Michele Norsa’s comments were among the first by a senior Italian executive reflecting growing concern on the issue, amid a mounting political crisis over the national carrier and delays over the relaunch.
“Now more than ever we feel the lack of a carrier that can accompany this transition and that has systematic and frequent connections with other markets, not only with Asia but also with the Americas,” he said at a conference.
