It was a difficult day for Aeroitalia passengers departing from Cagliari Airport. Flight boards at Cagliari Airport today documented a series of significant delays affecting several of the airline's flights, with waits in some cases well exceeding two hours. According to passengers, staff attributed the delays to an " operational issue ."
Among the most notable incidents was the 9:00 a.m. Aeroitalia flight to Rome Fiumicino, which, according to the published timetable, was supposed to depart at 9:00 a.m. , but its actual departure time was 11:30 a.m.: a two-and-a-half-hour delay . Passengers on the 11:00 a.m. flight, also to Rome Fiumicino, faced an even longer wait. According to reports from some travelers, they were initially told they would receive updates on the departure within half an hour. The time was later given as 12:30 p.m. , but the plane finally left only at 1:45 p.m., accumulating a delay of 2 hours and 45 minutes . "What if I had a connecting flight?" one user asks.
These are not isolated incidents, however. The airport's official flight schedule also reports delays on other Aeroitalia flights: the 1:00 PM flight to Catania is estimated at 2:25 PM , the 1:00 PM flight to Fiumicino at 2:55 PM , and a further 3:10 PM flight to Rome at 4:10 PM. A delay has also been reported for the 7:20 PM flight to Milan Linate, with an estimated departure of 7:55 PM .
Ryanair, easyJet , and other carriers listed on the schedule generally experienced minor deviations from their scheduled schedules. Among the notable incidents were the 2:30 PM Ryanair flight to Venice, which was scheduled to be approximately 20 minutes late, and the 1:00 PM easyJet flight to Basel, which departed at 1:07 PM, just seven minutes behind schedule. Some Transavia and Ryanair flights also experienced deviations of just a few minutes. For the passengers affected, of course, the problem isn't just the delay itself, but also the uncertainty surrounding communications and actual departure times, especially when updates are progressively postponed.
