The airline, which the government said was nationalized earlier this year after it faced bankruptcy following Italy’s national coronavirus lockdown, announced the delay. Italian media reports said it stemmed from makeup of the company’s board of directors. Alitalia, Europe’s 12th largest airline based on passenger traffic according to the data firm Statista, stopped almost all its flights when the lockdown started in March. The company operated cargo flights between Italy and China to ferry medical supplies to Italy during the worst part of the country’s coronavirus outbreak.— Xinhua
