Aeroitalia has withdrawn its appeal regarding the continuity tender.

"For us, the matter ends here," said CEO Gaetano Intrieri during a press conference on the numbers for 2025, the year in which the company will have served 3 million passengers.

"We disagreed with some of the terms of the tender, but we still decided to relaunch our commitment to Sardinia because leaving it would have meant a heavy social sacrifice in terms of jobs," Intrieri said.

Aeroitalia participated in the latest tender, submitting bids for five out of six routes (excluding Alghero-Milan). It is the only carrier in the running on the Alghero-Rome and Cagliari-Milan routes. On the Cagliari-Rome and Olbia-Milan routes, it is competing against the ITA-Volotea consortium, and on the Olbia-Rome route, it is competing only against Volotea.

The company also offered to cover three of the five routes (Olbia-Rome, Olbia-Milan and Cagliari-Rome) without compensation.
