« ENAC is developing in-depth studies with the Region of Sardinia to understand how to overcome the deficits in connections from the islands. Next week we have a meeting where the fact that the connection with Alghero was not in the competition will also be addressed. In the meantime, today we are meeting with President Schifani to address the airport issues in Sicily». This was stated by ENAC president Luigi Di Palma speaking with journalists in Catania, responding to journalists in Catania regarding the connections to and from the major islands.
And while news is awaited from the institutions and entities concerned, the controversies and fears over the failure to submit offers for routes to and from Alghero airport are not abated.
"What is happening in these hours with the opening of the envelopes for the offers in the tender for the award of the facilitated routes under the regime of territorial continuity unfortunately confirms what we have been supporting for months", denounce Uiltrasporti Nazionale and Uiltrasporti Sardegna .
In a note, the unions add: " This model of territorial continuity no longer adheres to the reality of modern air transport , it does not guarantee the right to mobility and evidently it is no longer economically sustainable even for carriers, both low-cost and traditional".
"Now we hope - continues Uiltrasporti - that the Region of Sardinia proceeds immediately so that there is no interruption of public service and the return to the free market is averted, plunging the north-west of the island back by more than 20 years".
Mario Bruno, former mayor of Alghero , now in opposition, also has his say: «An extraordinary joint council of the municipal councils of the underground network should be convened immediately, together with the first citizens of the municipalities of the Sassari, Nuoro and Oristano areas around Bosa , with the institutional representatives of the territory. It's a disaster announced , the son of a regional management of bankruptcy and amateurish territorial continuity. Desert the notice on
Alghero also with compensation for service charges: it cannot be a coincidence», concludes Bruno.
