The documentation presented today by Ita Spa by Ita Spa as an addition to the urgent procedure for the assignment of services in aerial territorial continuity between the three Sardinian airports of Alghero, Cagliari is being examined by the tender commission and the legal area. and Olbia and the national hubs of Rome Fiumicino and Milan Linate.

An assignment, regarding the tender for facilitated flights between Sardinia and the Peninsula, on which the sword of Damocles weighs in the appeal presented to the Tar by Volotea who had participated in the emergency procedure together with Ita and which, instead, was excluded for a formal defect.

Yesterday the Tender Commission asked Ita for clarification on the consistency of the fleet and on other issues related to flight authorizations: if these documents are considered valid, all connections will be awarded to Ita.

"Otherwise - explains the regional councilor for transport, Giorgio Todde - today we will start a negotiated procedure with the same 12 carriers that were invited to the urgent procedure, and we plan to award the routes as early as Monday".

The procedure involves a negotiation on the terms of the agreement between the contracting authority and the economic operator - in this case one of the 12 carriers - which is chosen on the basis of the chosen award criterion, which can be lower price or better cost / quality ratio. o frequency of service. In this case, the low cost airline Volotea could come back into play.

"It is a private carrier and it is legitimate that it may want to assert its reasons in the face of a non-award - explains Todde - for our part we can only say that the commission is sovereign and that I do not believe that the appeal can represent a brake on the whole procedure ".
