In particular, Olbia-Fiumicino will have a doubling of flights from 1 June: the tender envisaged 3 and there will be 6 (4 operated by Volotea, 2 by Aeroitalia). Alghero-Linate has already gone from two to three flights , also guaranteeing the 7 o'clock one, loudly requested by citizens and operators in the area. Furthermore, 6 connections have already been activated on the Cagliari-Linate route compared to the 4 planned» .
