Italy’s Economy Minister Giovanni Tria said he hoped infrastructure group Atlantia would buy a stake in Alitalia, the troubled airline company the government is struggling to rescue.

After meeting on Thursday, Atlantia’s board said it had asked Chief Executive Giovanni Castellucci to look into Alitalia’s industrial plan.
