MILAN, April 25 (Reuters) - Alitalia said on Tuesday it would launch procedures envisaged by law after workers rejected its latest rescue plan, making it impossible for the loss-making Italian airline to secure funds to keep its aircraft in the air.

Workers on Monday rejected a management restructuring plan to cut jobs and salaries, betting that the government will be asked to call in an administrator to draft an alternative rescue plan.

Alitalia has called a shareholder meeting for Thursday to discuss the next steps, adding its flight operations would remain unchanged for now.
