"The plane to Cagliari shut down three times on the runway. Unacceptable."

«This morning, on the Aeroitalia Fiumicino–Cagliari flight, I witnessed a situation that was nothing short of incredible.»

Thus begins the story, shared on social media, of Gianfranco Satta, former regional councilor, now councilor, departing Rome with a scheduled takeoff at 6:20 a.m. for his return to Sardinia.

"As soon as we boarded," Satta writes, "already seated in our assigned seats, the plane, with its engines running, stalled three times. Fortunately, we're still stationary on the apron."

"When I asked for an explanation," Satta continued, "I was told it was just a 'little electrical problem.'" After about half an hour, however, we were told it would be best to change planes. A 'little problem' that, evidently, wasn't so minor!

"It's unacceptable," Satta states, "that a plane, after stalling three times before takeoff, is initially dismissed as having a generic 'electrical problem,' only to then decide, half an hour later, to replace it. Passengers have the right to clear explanations and to know what really happened. Safety has no place for superficiality, especially when transporting people. At this point," concludes Satta, who then boarded another plane with the other passengers, "it would be appropriate for the regional transport councilor, Barbara Manca, to take action to advance Aeroitalia's departure from Sardinia. Because, frankly, the sooner it goes, the better!"
