How much is Cagliari airport worth? And what weight could its actions have in the merger project with the other two ports of Sardinia - Olbia and Alghero - wanted by the Chamber of Commerce of the capital and already agreed, in "good faith" through a non-binding agreement, with the fund F2i, direct emanation of the Cassa Depositi e Prestiti?
The answer to the question will have to come from a professional or from a "third evaluator" company to which the Chamber of Commerce of Cagliari will have to entrust the task. The tender has been called, the best bid will win. The operation will cost just under 100 thousand euros (97,600).
The plan aimed at creating a single management company for Mario Mameli, Costa Smeralda and Fertilia therefore goes ahead. Enac, which must supervise and possibly bless it (or reject it) , recently announced that, before proceeding, the Chamber of Commerce (currently 94.45% owner of Sogaer) must wait for the national airport plan.
The train (or plane), however, had already left. In Cagliari and Elmas it has long been decided that the only interlocutor to bring the project to checkers is F2i Ligantia, majority shareholder of the management companies of Olbia and Alghero. “Unfungible” interlocutor, he is defined.
The goal is to "melt" the existing Spa to create a brand new one, with private participation. The president of the Cagliari Chamber, Maurizio De Pascale, has assured that public bodies will maintain control of the new legal entity, and therefore of the management of the main ports to and from Sardinia. But tensions over the operation remained high: opponents fear private interference that would take away from the island a heritage like that of the airports.
Controversy and perplexity in Largo Carlo Felice were not seen as an obstacle. First a (non-binding) process in "good faith" was started with F2i. Then here is the assignment of the evaluation of the Cagliari airport. Always in "good faith". So that if Enac's blessing arrives, everything can be ready to quickly close the game.
