Police face Alitalia workers after they blocked the highway leading to the Rome Leonardo Da Vinci international airport following a protest in Fiumicino, Friday, September 24, 2021. Alitalia, which has been in the red for more than a decade, is due to formally exit the airline market next month and be replaced by a new national carrier ITA, or Italy Air Transport. The European Commission has given the go-ahead to a 1.35 billion euro ($1.58 billion) injection of government funding into the new airline, but ITA is only planning to hire around a quarter of the estimated 10,000 Alitalia employees.
