Alitalia, Ita already in crisis: it cannot land if there is fog
There fog puts Ita in crisis, the new airline born from the ashes of the former Alitalia, which took off for the first time on 15 October. Its planes cannot land in the airports where all the other companies will land, precisely because of the fog. The problem, explains La Press, and the certification to land that Ita had to rebuild from scratch.
There request, during the transfer of ownership, had been sent to theEnac (the Civil Aviation Control Body), which, however, failed to provide the permits. For this reason, says La Stampa, an Ita plane departing from Fiumicino for Linate had to divert to Genoa. Same fate for others too seven flights which were instead diverted to Malpensa, after having turned around in circles at the Linate airport, waiting for a sudden weather change.
The reason of such unease? The Turin newspaper explains that “the The problem arises from the fact that between the old Alitalia and the new Ita there was the famous corporate “discontinuity”e, imposed by the EU to authorize yet another injection of public funds, so Ita is formally one start-up, despite the fact that the planes and pilots are the same as Alitalia “.” Ita, as a new airline, cannot land if visibility is not optimal until it obtains ENAC certification from scratch., ie more than 550 meters (at take off 400 meters “. The time to resolve this situation is still unknown: the inconvenience will last until the technical formalities between Ita and Enac are completed.
