[ROME] Italy's troubled flag-carrier Alitalia has the option to tie up with another partner if talks with shareholder Air France-KLM over its recapitalisation fail, Italian Transport Minister Maurizio Lupi said on Sunday.
"If Air France believes in Alitalia, it will participate in the capital increase. If it doesn't, it will give Alitalia and the government the possibility to find an international partner," he said in Milan on the sidelines of a motorcycle trade show.
The comment betrayed tensions over the negotiations between the airlines.
