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
