Windjet grounded

Italy's beleaguered budget airline, Windjet, has stopped operations Sunday with aviation authority ENAC revoking its operating licence.  Passengers were stranded overnight at Rome's Fiumicino airport.

The cash-strapped carrier was in negotiations with Alitalia regarding a take-over but these broke down.  It was founded in 2003 by Antonino Pulvirenti, owner, Chairman and CEO and the power behind Calcio Catania, Serie A soccer club.  It currently operates 12 Airbus A320 aircraft

ENAC said Windjet had about 300,000 bookings through October. http://w3.volawindjet.it
