First, the management said it was not enough funds to pay the workers after the month’s salary. Therefore, there was a plan for laying off 5000 employees and split into two companies, airlines and ground service. On 24 September, Alitalia made ​​a deal with unions for a loan from the Italian government. The airline managed to save themselves from bankruptcy.

After that, the airline is fined by Italy’s antitrust agency of 30,000 euros for misleading consumers by advertising a round-trip flight but showed only a one-way fares on its website in December 2005. Then, the European Commission conducted an investigation regarding the plan to restructure Alitalia Italy to ensure that the airline did not get an illegal subsidy. This recapitalization plan, including massive layoffs, has been held in the spring of 2006.
