Italy's government has approved an emergency 480 million-dollar loan to keep the national air carrier, Alitalia, in business.

Outgoing Prime Minister Romano Prodi called an emergency meeting of his cabinet today (Tuesday) in Rome, after Air France-KLM withdrew its 220 million-dollar offer to buy the struggling Italian airline.

Officials say the loan is a short-term measure designed to keep Alitalia operating until incoming Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi is able to form a government.

The Italian government owns 49-point-nine percent of Alitalia.

This emergency loan could come under scrutiny from European Union officials. The European Commission has said that, under EU funding rules, Alitalia is not eligible for additional state aid until 2011, because it already has received money from the government.

Trading in shares of Alitalia was suspended today, and Italian aviation officials warned that the carrier could lose its license if it can not meet financial and safety requirements.
