Flights plummet in autumn: 78% fewer connections on the island
The island's airports are shutting down and the deseasonalization of tourism remains incomplete: Cagliari -65%, Alghero -80% and Olbia even -89.5%.Flights to Olbia are down 89.5%, to Alghero 80%, and to Cagliari 65.1%. The first two are privately run, while the third is publicly run. This is the trend at Sardinia's airports during the autumn season, when the sun and sea offer comes to a halt, with airlines expected to reduce the overall flight offerings to and from Sardinian airports by 78% from the end of the month.
In short, the seasonal adjustment remains unfinished. But the regional tourism councilor, Franco Cuccureddu, still sees the glass half full: "There will be more flights in Cagliari than in winter 2025."
