Let's say you have to go to Rome tomorrow , for a sudden work commitment, to go visit a friend, for any urgent reason. You won't be able to. The only flight available in territorial continuity from Cagliari to Fiumicino is at 22:35, and if you wanted to pay the standard fare, specifically about 400 euros , you would find a plane that leaves at 15:50 and makes two stops, so in the end it takes 5 hours to get to its destination.
The next day and the following ones? There would be some tickets, but with Ita Airways you take off either very early in the morning or late at night. Same goes for Milan: tomorrow the first available departure is at 15:50, Thursday at 6:30 or at 21:10, Saturday only at 21:25. To reach the Peninsula, over the past weekend there were no connections under territorial continuity, neither from Olbia nor from Alghero, and an Olbia-Turin with Volotea – one way – cost around 450 euros.
" It's the same old story ," warns the general secretary of Filt Cgil Arnaldo Boeddu, "during the counter-exodus the same problems are repeated and relived, mainly due to the lack of seats on flights in territorial continuity. From the simulations carried out on departure from the three Sardinian airports to Rome and Milan, it emerged that, almost always, it is practically impossible to leave Sardinia because there are no more seats available."
