"In a few days, reaching Gallura will become somewhat complicated : the Olbia port will be the only one not to have connections with any European capital and territorial continuity will also be half guaranteed".

To denounce the situation of the lack of air connections with the Costa Smeralda airport, the regional secretariats of Fit CISL, Uiltrasporti and Ugl Transport Aereo , which attribute the responsibility to the inertia of local and regional politics. "It is surprising that, for the umpteenth time, it is the trade union that denounces this harmful situation towards an entire territory and its economy when, instead, we expect an outcry from all the territorial and regional political representatives belonging to all the elected camps in this territory ", warn Gianluca Langiu (Fit Cisl), Elisabetta Manca (Uiltrasporti) and Nicola Contini (Ugl Air Transport). "While in Cagliari - they continue - the regional councilor for tourism, Gianni Chessa, presents Ryanair's Winter 2022 with great fanfare, the airports of Northern Sardinia remain at stake with a limited operation until next March, without considering that 50 per one hundred of the island's tourist offer is concentrated in the province of Olbia-Tempio which, absurdly, is the area most penalized from the point of view of connections ".

According to the three trade unions, "the umpteenth missed opportunity for the north east of the island to fully exploit its potential , to realize a seasonal adjustment with which everyone continues to fill their mouths but which vanishes even when the excellent weather conditions play in its favor. ". In addition, they conclude, "representing a damage to an economy that was struggling to recover , a denied right to mobility and a lack of jobs".
