airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sources have previously said the German carrier is negotiating with Rome over the purchase of a 40% stake in ITA, valued at around 200 million euros ($219 million), with the idea of buying the rest at a later stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/en\/2023\/03\/ita-airways-reports-net-loss-of-486-million-euros-in-2022.html\">ITA Airways reports net
