ROME (AFP) - Air France-KLM is holding firm on a plan to lay off 2,100 Alitalia workers but will extend benefits to more employees under a revised takeover plan for Alitalia, the ANSA news agency reported on Friday.

"We cannot go further without reopening discussion of the very fundamentals of our project for Alitalia," Air France-KLM chief Jean-Cyril Spinetta wrote of the plan submitted overnight to the unions representing Alitalia employees, ANSA said.
