The tender for the new territorial continuity is a "disaster" .
Waiting for the technical table set for January 4 in Rome with representatives of the Ministry of Transport, ENAC and the Sardinia Region, trade unions and the opposition are attacking the bridge contract which currently does not include offers for the Rome and Milan sections from the Alghero airport while two companies are running for Cagliari-Rome (Ita Airways and Volotea), one for Cagliari-Linate (Ita Airways), three on the Olbia-Fiumicino (Ita Airways, Volotea and AeroItalia) and two on the Olbia-Linate (Ita Airways and AeroItalia).
Only the Alghero airport was dry and the reassurances that the president of the regional council Michele Pais received from the transport minister Matteo Salvini were of little use.
CGIL – "An immediate solution must be found to solve the disaster caused by the exclusion of an entire territory of Sardinia from territorial continuity", is the appeal of the secretary of the CGIL Sardinia Fausto Durante and the secretary of the regional Filt CGIL Arnaldo Boeddu , who say they are "strongly concerned about the outcome of the tender". For the CGIL "this is yet another flop of a management that is questionable to say the least, which does not cease to reserve negative surprises every day, unfortunately on the skin of the citizens". To avoid the isolation of the north-west of the island, "with very serious repercussions on the economic and social front", the union relaunches "once again the need for a comparison to implement the best strategies through the sharing of a model that finally guarantee the Sardinians the right to territorial continuity ».
The summit of 4 January therefore becomes fundamental: «It is clear that there will necessarily have to be found a solution that resolves the Alghero emergency , but equally so is the fact that one cannot navigate by sight, one cannot continue to stumble upon such a delicate and priority issue .
PD – The Democratic Party launches itself against the Solinas management. "The matter of air territorial continuity in Sardinia is a disaster waiting to happen: everything that could have happened happened, but it could have been avoided", says the dem deputy, Silvio Lai : "After wasting time for three years we found ourselves with a continuity small small duration only one summer like teenage loves and then deflating like all the initiatives of the center-right in Sardinia. And now a reduced, precarious and timed continuity, without one airport out of three , is the little mouse born of this regional majority lacking in capacity and dignity because after an event like this the road would be to conclude one's own path». "We await the opening of the envelopes - he concludes - but a tender to the bottom on the routes on which the offers have arrived will not reassure us , on the contrary we need to review the resources that the Region makes available to support more adequate service charges".
THE REGION – The meeting of 4 January, the regional councilor for Transport, Antonio Moro, is certain of this, today in Rome to take stock of the situation with the deputy minister of Infrastructure and Transport, Galeazzo Bignami, «will allow us to guarantee, with a emergency procedure, the connections between Alghero airport and the airports of Rome and Milan . On this point the attention of the Government is maximum, as is the maximum support to the Region for a Sardinian model of continuity that corresponds to the needs of Sardinia".
FDI – For the president of the Transport Commission of the Chamber and deputy of the Brothers of Italy Salvatore Deidda, who was also present at today's summit, " we are making every effort possible to support the Sardinia Region in guaranteeing the north-west and all Alghero airport a system of territorial continuity and we are doing it with the support of the Government, with the Deputy Minister Bignami, and Enac, and we are convinced that we will find the solution on time. Furthermore, we also talked about the possibility of opening routes with other Italian airports and experimenting with new systems of territorial continuity. A continuous dialogue that we will deepen with all the transport commissioners, through the fact-finding survey on air transport that will start in the Chamber of Deputies in January. A commitment in the light of the change in the offer of the national air market".
