During the hearing in the committee that took place this afternoon, the resolution with the rules and objectives of the new territorial continuity was dismissed.

"We are here to ensure maximum transparency and clarify any doubts. We have equated business travelers with residents, in terms of rates. And we have obtained that under two years you travel for free and that from two to eleven there is a discount - said Giorgio Todde, Councilor for Transport of the Region -. We will also have two posts at the level of medical transport. After the emergency tender assigned to Volotea, however, the new call must now be published shortly to continue to guarantee continuity ".

Criticisms were raised by Roberto Li Gioi (Five Star Movement) who spoke of a tender "tailor-made for Volotea". But Todde replied that "everyone takes responsibility for what they say", while Gabriella Massidda (Region) replied that "our role does not allow us to collect provocations, certain statements only make me smile. complex and it took us months only to get the government and especially the European Commission to understand Sardinia's needs. Considering the scarcity of human resources available, we can say that we have done a miracle ".

Referring to Francesco Agus dei Progressisti's question on the services currently offered by Volotea, Massidda underlined: "The transport services for unaccompanied minors, stretchers, the transport of radioactive drugs and the ballot boxes are being activated, while we will soon have news of the transport of the coffin. Obviously they will not be free services, as they weren't before ".
The advisor Alimonti retraced the stages of the relationship with the European Commission, which lasted two years. "The officials compared the routes of Sardinia to Manchester - Brussels, without realizing that this is a large island - he explained - We had to produce studies and protocols, to make us understand. It was not even easy to estimate the flight demand during the pandemic. In the announcement, however, there is a clause that leads to a revision of the contract in the event of a rise or fall in flight demand ".

At the end, the Quarta commission voted by majority the green light to the ban.
