Aeroitalia increases flights on the Olbia-Linate route also on 11 April (in addition to that of 7) . The news was communicated by the company involved in the territorial continuity regime between Sardinia and the peninsula, "to meet the mobility needs of customers" .

Aeroitalia itself had ended up in the crosshairs of a controversy that arose on social media following a post published by Geppi Cucciari. The comedian from Macomera had written a message in which she explained: “ We Sardinians sometimes go home for Easter. We come back even if it's not Easter. One of the companies that covers the routes is Aeroitalia. That does not allow the waiting list with a ticket already issued, and has a call center with which it is impossible to talk. Impossible ”. And then he asked his followers for suggestions, receiving over 600 responses that included similar stories made up of inconvenience, difficulties, criticisms.

The note from the company in which he explains that he has increased the frequency of trips contains a reference to the Sardinian artist's post: accommodate on board our flights ”. There was no shortage of rejoinder : “Thank you Aeroitalia for this generosity, in my name and for all those who go to Sardinia for the love of the family, for those who fly from Sardinia for work, for other loves and to heal themselves. The subject is delicate, we know it, we always trust in more accessible rates, for residents, for natives, for tourists. Into more efficient services. And this does not concern only you, but also Volotea and ITA Airways Virtual. Territorial continuity has been a problem for a long, too long time, paid for by an obsolete scheme whose resolution certainly does not pass only through you but also through the agreements with the Region of Sardinia (and its previous agreements, and previous to the previous ones) which then it should be supported by the state (whatever the government) and then by Europe which my father bought at the market. Difficulties, it seems superfluous to emphasize, do not arise today”.

And she adds again: "As a Sardinian (resident and therefore luckier than others) I would still like it to be simpler, more accessible and more advantageous to return home, even for those who have their own family of origin in Sardinia, but have their own Milan, to Rome, and perhaps for reasons related to the mortgage or work he had to move his residence. Families for which considering returning home, to their parents, siblings, can be prohibitive. I trust. I always trust. I will continue to fly with you, and with the other airlines of course. But let me add something. May these, and other additional flights, never seem like a concession to the complainer. Moving is necessary, territorial continuity is a right aimed at 'guaranteeing transport services to citizens in disadvantaged regions of the nation to which they belong, overcoming the disadvantages associated with their remoteness, unattainability or difficult access'. Remembering, however obvious, that Sardinia cannot be reached by train or on the motorway . To divide and unite us from everything is the sea. One of the things that makes this land so unique. My heart is in Sardinia and also a large part of my life, between Cagliari, Macomer and Olbia. Those with firm roots can go anywhere. But it always comes back. Let's make sure it's a possibility and not just a wish too often unattainable”.
