The business associations of the Sardinian tourism supply chain, and in particular Confartigianato, Confapi, Legacoop, Coldiretti, Confesercenti and Casarigiani, "in stigmatizing the overall management of the theme of aerial territorial continuity" expressed in a note sent to the President of the Region, Christian Solinas, "great concern about the effects" of the new bridge notice for uninterrupted air links between Alghero, Cagliari, Olbia and Milan and Rome, between 15 May and 30 September. Hence the request to "obtain, through the competent ministerial and European offices, an advance not later than March 15 as the maximum deadline within which the carrier concerned must present its availability on the routes to Milan and Rome for the summer season".
In the alternative, the associations ask "to cancel the current announcement of the four summer months, to let the free market, although not the optimal solution, can unblock the situation and allow the market and Sardinians to be able to buy air tickets for the period quoted between May 15 and September 30 ".
The six organizations are also considering "inviting the airlines interested in the Sardinian connections to anticipate the adhesions for the routes in question, even though they are aware that the same airlines complain of the same uncertainties".
"The prospects for planning the tourist season still appear to be absolutely uncertain and indefinite considering that until May 14 the picture of the carrier or carriers that will accept the connection service will not be completed - they write - As there is no exclusive right or priority for presentation. , it will be extremely likely that the carriers will wait the last few days to present their proposals, with it being impossible until mid-May to be able to book flights, to know who and at what times and routes will make the connections and at what rates and conditions. concrete risk of a very serious damage to the entire economic and employment chain linked to the tourism sector ".
Yesterday the Federalberghi alarm arrived precisely on the subject of chaos flights. “Even if there are all the assurances from the councilor Todde - the words of the president Paolo Manca - in fact the current situation does not allow the planning for the tourist season 2022 and therefore for us the result is always zero. It will change when there are bookable tickets, but until then with each passing day, some tourists are choosing another destination that is not Sardinia ".
