Ryanair widens its attack on the Italian market

Ryanair is stepping up the attack by European airlines on the Italian market to take advantage of the parlous state of Alitalia. It said in October 2008 it was planning to open two new bases on Sardinia at Alghero and Cagliari, in March 2009. The two bases will create eight new domestic and 11 new international routes to and from the island.
