New continuity, the doubts of the trade unions: "With the end of the summer the problems will come"
The CGIL asks to "review the costs for non-residents" and penalties in case of canceled flights. "In winter some routes and some timetables are not profitable"Continuity, the doubts of the trade unions on the new model (Ansa)
The new air continuity to and from Sardinia started yesterday. Two carriers - Ita and Volotea - which offer low-cost flights to residents without financial compensation.
But for the unions the new system has several flaws. He starts "maimed" and with too many doubts for Filt Cgil.
According to the regional secretary Arnaldo Boeddu , in fact, "some routes, some flight times and some days of the week, especially in the winter, are not profitable and therefore, once the summer season has already begun, the first problems ".
To avoid the cancellation of flights due to the lack of a minimum of passengers, "it would be useful to understand how much the penalties for the airlines are if these problems occur". Another issue is the skyrocketing prices for non-residents , given that there is no maximum ceiling.
“Furthermore - continues Boeddu - nobody talks about the new call which should have a two-year duration. The much-desired regional discussion table requested several times would have helped not only to eliminate the numerous critical issues, but also to improve the air transport offer ”.
"Satisfied" William Zonca of Uiltrasporti, who considers "positive" the fact that there are two carriers and that Sardinians can "choose the type of service." However, he warns, "it is essential to use this year to ensure that a model of territorial continuity is established. ”And he asks that Ita“ use the professional skills fired by the former Air Italy , thus reducing the employment gap on the island ”.
