And they are eagerly awaiting the <strong>Air transport conference<\/strong> to be held in 2018. The aim is to close the competitiveness gap with German airlines, for example... Of course, the comparison is no accident: Lufthansa's thirst for size seems inexhaustible, and the German group is even eyeing Alitalia.
