After two days of mourning, this morning the mayor of Olbia, Settimo Nizzi, signed a resolution with the proposal to name the Costa Smeralda airport after Prince Karim Aga Khan IV , who passed away on February 4, at the age of 88.

"We believe it is right to name our airport after His Highness: in the context of an exceptional strategic vision, the Prince founded the all-Sardinian airline in 1963, which later became Meridiana and Air Italy, which has allowed people to reach the island since the beginning of the Costa Smeralda , and gave life to the construction of the airport, today one of the most prestigious international airports", said Nizzi. And he added: "The Prince represented an extraordinary figure, capable of giving life to the birth and development of the tourism sector in full respect of the environmental protection of the Gallura territory" .
