«The competitiveness of the Sassari area passes through the maintenance and relaunch of Alghero airport, a strategic asset for the restart of northern Sardinia, Alghero, Sassari, the other centers and, why not, all the rest of the island . We cannot imagine today a modern metropolitan area, entrepreneurially competitive and capable of making its businesses grow, as well as attracting new ones, without an airport hub that opens the doors to the routes of Europe and, consequently, of the world. The wealth and development of a territory are directly proportional to the possibility of reaching it ».
This is the position taken by the provincial president of Confartigianato Sassari , Marco Rau , and the provincial secretary of the artisan association, Antonio Alivesi , who together with the Regional Federation of Confartigianato Imprese Sardegna are asking the institutions to defend the future of the "Riviera del Corallo" port of call. , representing the 13,000 small and medium-sized enterprises of Sassari and the 23,000 employed in the sector.
«Our airport - explains Confartigianato - is a fundamental infrastructure for development
of the entire territory but also for the rest of Sardinia. To weaken it, or "make it harmless", or close it, seems to us madness, also in light of the fact that the north-west has already lost important opportunities to be connected, nationally and internationally».
«The SMEs and artisans of Sassari - continue Rau and Alivesi -, like the rest of the economic world, are asking for the protection and development of the infrastructure: we would not like our territory to be perceived in Cagliari and Rome as lying on a idea “cupio dissolvi” because we don't fit».
Again, reads a note, «if Sassari and Alghero want to aspire to excel in the field
tourist, cultural and economic must not lose this fundamental infrastructure. The airport represents a strategic and decisive infrastructural node, not only for the attractiveness and the economic induced that brings the north-west from a tourist point of view, but above all for the commercial development of the companies in the area".
«It is important - concludes Confartigianato - to reason with an overall vision and look to the future, bearing in mind that the relaunch of the Algherese airport is necessary, useful and fundamental also for the modernization and completion of other infrastructures such as the upgrading of road traffic and of the railway network, with a line that connects Porto Torres, passes through Sassari and arrives right in Alghero».
