“Airports for Sardinians: it can be done”. This is the title chosen for the conference organized in Alghero next Saturday 13 May (in the cloister of San Francesco) to discuss the future of the Sardinian ports in the midst of the controversy raised by the hypotheses of privatization and merger in recent weeks.

The public meeting will be attended, among others, by the extraordinary commissioner of the Province of Sassari Pietrino Fois, the president of the special island commission Michele Cossa and the regional councilor for transport Antonio Moro.

And it is Moro himself, on Facebook, who explains the reasons that led to the organization of the conference, with a question and answer to 4 key questions on the matter.

Here is his post:

1) Does the Region want to manage the airports?

No, not necessarily, but she cannot be excluded from the management companies and cannot renounce the exercise of supervisory, control and guidance duties and functions.
2) Is the Chamber of Commerce of Cagliari able to manage an airport?

Yes, it manages that of Elmas and this year it closed the balance sheet with a profit of 15 million euros and the passenger traffic of the airport in the south of the island represents half that of the whole of Sardinia.
3) Was Alghero airport saved from bankruptcy in the last legislature?

No, Alghero airport was sold off in the last legislature.
4) Does the network of Sardinian airports mean transferring the airports to a single owner?

No, the airport network does not mean having a monopoly on the island's airports and it is not true that competition between airports is harmful. London, for example, has 5 airports and they all have different ownership.
