MILAN (Thomson Financial) - Italy's economic development ministry has put low cost airline Volare up for sale again, meeting a recent state council court demand, said Alitalia SpA, which bought Volare in a previous auction.
Two days ago the ministry wrote to companies interested in buying Volare, thus re-launching the sale procedure, Alitalia said in its annual report.
The ministry-appointed extraordinary commissioner for Volare previously put the carrier up for auction. However, Italy's Air One airline challenged the way the auction was conducted and Alitalia's win. nigel.tutt@thomsonreuters.com nt/lam COPYRIGHT Copyright Thomson Financial News Limited 2008.
