There are some very efficient Italian managers and entrepreneurs that head companies in Italy and elsewhere, it would be nice to see some of them leading some of the airlines in Italy. Air Europe was doing very well before Volare took over, I don't know if it is still run well.
If we take the examlpe of Italian football when the Michel Platini's and the Diego Maradona's arrived on the Italian football scene Italy won the World cup and produced world class players such as Gianfranco Zola and Alessandro Del Piero. they can do it, it's a matter of having the right people in the right place.
The Italian Airline industry has great potential and maybe a mix between Italians and world class airline experts could produce an AC Milan of the Airline industry...
