A 1bn-euro (Ј800m; $1.45bn) bail-out News ...
Argentines 'forging Italian passports' ... of Italian airline Alitalia has won the support of the last two unions who had been opposing the deal.
The support for the rescue package could help clear the way for a relaunch of Italy's flag carrier.
The airline had appeared doomed to liquidation until the rescue emerged.
Last week, the Italian civil aviation authority, ENAC, agreed not to revoke Alitalia's licence to fly after a revised rescue plan was approved.
The SDL and AVIA unions, which represent cabin crew and ground staff had opposed the plan.
However, they have now followed the example of the airline's pilots and changed their minds.
The Italian consortium putting forward the rescue package, CAI, had withdrawn its offer earlier this month after it failed to gain the backing of all Alitalia's unions. However, the deal was revived last week.
Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, who was re-elected in May, had vowed to rescue the airline.
Alitalia is estimated to be losing more than 2m euros every day.
