New air continuity between direct aid to companies and the "Balearic model"

Meeting today in Rome for the regional councilor for Transport, Antonio Moro, with ENAC and the University of Sassari. An opportunity to outline the new air territorial continuity model for Sardinia.

" The hypothesis we are working on - explains the exponent of the Giunta Solinas - is a bill that regulates the various instruments , all non-alternative but complementary to the public service obligations , identified as effective for overcoming the critical issues and rigidities of the 'current system of territorial continuity'.

"The first - he continues - is the so-called system of direct aid to airlines for the start-up of new routes , on which ENAC also hypothesizes a review of the ministerial guidelines that take into account the innovations introduced by the constitutional amendment for the recognition of insularity, article 119, and move towards the elimination of the three-year constraint for application".

The other novelty, also in the light of the allocation of state resources for social aid, " is represented by the regulation which allows the experimentation in Sardinia of the so-called Balearic model, which provides for the direct contribution to the passenger".

«With the scientific support of the University of Sassari and the technical support of Enac, the aspects of the application of the so-called co-marketing agreements will also be studied in depth. The new regulatory proposal for the Sardinian model of air transport could be presented as early as the end of April» , concludes councilor Moro.

For Enac, the president Pierluigi Di Palma, the director Alessio Quaranta, the director of Planning, Gianluca Lo Bianco, the director of Infrastructures, Claudio Eminente, the director of Air Transport, Daniela Candido, the director of Legal Analysis, Marco Di Giugno were present; for the University of Sassari, the rector Gavino Mariotti, the full professor of Constitutional Law, Omar Chessa, the director of the Department of Law, Michele Comenale Pinto, the associate professor of Navigation Law, Giovanni Pruneddu, and the research assistant Marcella Lamon.
