Shares and bonds of Alitalia have been suspended, the Italian stock exchange has announced.
The Italian carrier's ordinary shares, as well as a convertible bond issued by the airline, will remain suspended until the outcome of an Alitalia board meeting scheduled for tomorrow (Thursday), a spokeswoman for the exchange said.
Alitalia shares slipped 12.5% this week in heavy trading after reports that a senior manager had warned the company could seek to be declared insolvent as early as this week if unions do not agree to a restructuring plan.
The Italian government, which owns a majority stake in the airline, has not indicated whether it intends to intervene to aid the company or what form of state assistance might be given
