Alitalia planes are parked on the tarmac at Fiumicino international airport in Rome
Alitalia planes are parked on the tarmac at Fiumicino international airport in Rome October 11, 2013. Alitalia, the Italian national airline that has made a profit only a few times in its 67-year history, once again risks collapsing as the government scrambles to find investors willing to rescue its problem child. Rome offered a financial lifeline to Alitalia through the state-owned post office, but the plan depends on private shareholders ploughing more money into what many investors regard as a corporate lost cause.
