Discounted rates also for emigrants, maximum ceilings for those of non-residents in Sardinia and also the hiring of former Meridiana and Air Italy workers.
These are the measures envisaged by the "friendship pact" signed this morning in the offices of the Transport Department between the Region and Aeroitalia, which manages the air continuity service on three routes: Alghero-Rome, Olbia-Rome and Olbia-Milan .
"What Europe is denying us we are building, piece by piece, trying to create a Sardinian model of territorial continuity," says Transport Councilor Antonio Moro. A "pact", he underlines, which "meets the requests repeatedly expressed above all by our emigrants, who have the right to be able to return to their land without spending exorbitant sums". With the ceiling on prices for non-residents, on the other hand, "we try to favor the tourism sector by making our destinations more accessible".
For non-residents, Aeroitalia will apply maximum fares not exceeding four times the maximum fare authorized for residents. Non-resident travelers who are recognized as emigrants will instead be charged the same rate as residents.
Furthermore, the company has undertaken to hire new employees necessary to carry out the services on the island, it will recruit them from among the former workers of Meridiana and Air Italy.
"We trust that this agreement, which today concerns half of the flights in territorial continuity, can be extended to all the facilitated routes", concludes councilor Moro.
