About Alitalia
The Alitalia Group has revenues of about 5,000 million euros and carries 22 million passengers a year, thanks to a young and efficient fleet of around 180 aircraft and the commitment of more than 22,000 employees in Italy and abroad.
Attention to the customer, which is at the centre of Alitalia`s strategy, inspired the company`s entrance into SkyTeam in 2001, one of the largest international alliances, that placed the company on a par with other prestigious companies such as Air France, Delta Air Lines, AeroMexico, Korean and CSA.
More than 8,000 flights a day to 512 destinations in 114 countries - these are the salient figures of the great SkyTeam challenge that renews itself every day on the wings of Alitalia by offering millions of passengers throughout the world a unique, instantly recognizable travel experience based on quality and attention to detail``
Pay attention...They (Greg Beeston, President of deGicor),
are still touting the virtues and selling the deGiplayer and not its XT version copied for Mr. Wencor...
So, all this talk about WENCOR abandoning EDIG is just that, TALK...
The XT is being shown at Hamburg as we speek... We shall see soon enough how it is received by the Airlines...
Good Luck to all who have the ``VISION`` and the ``FORTITUDE`` to pal this ``WAITING GAME``...
