...find terrorism all that funny. But, in a sequence that I suppose is meant to be a comment on the Italian social condition (none too great, these days), a strange man (Yorgo Voyagis) who doesn't speak Italian, French or English spots and subsequently seduces a radiantly beautiful Alitalia stewardess (Ornella Muti, the best thing about this film). The next morning, as she is about to board her plane, he rushes up to her, embraces her and then gives her a tape recorder playing the tune to which he had whisked her off her feet the night before...
...rear of Moro's vehicle. Then two masked men jumped out of the white Fiat, opening fire on Moro's driver and bodyguard, killing them where they sat. Standing at the corner, ostensibly waiting for an airline bus, were four or five men wearing the uniforms of Alitalia personnel. As the shooting started, they pulled out hidden weapons and peppered the police car with a heavy fusillade. A few residents rushed to their terraces, but a terrorist warned them away with a wave of his submachine gun and a few words spoken in Italian with a guttural foreign...

...lines, along with Alitalia, have been considering a pooling of equipment and passengers on international flights.

The only alternative appears to be outright nationalization...
Chances that travelers flying the North Atlantic on scheduled airlines will pay sharply lower fares this summer hit a hard downdraft last week. The U.S. Civil Aeronautics Board turned down proposals from British Overseas Airways, Lufthansa, Alitalia and Olympic Airways for new low fares between the U.S. and Europe. BOAC, for example, had wanted to charge only $179 for a New York-London round trip during the off season, and $290 during July. The fares would have been for a 14-to-45-day excursion booked 90 days before takeoff...
