Alitalia accepts Air France offer

advertisement

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 will maintain its national identity within the Air France-KLM group after the takeover, which could be completed by mid-2008.
