The alarm was raised late yesterday evening after the man, 60-year-old Mauro Abis from Sardara, who was on a flight in the area, had not returned.
The 60-year-old's disappearance was reported by a friend who had left with him at 3pm but then lost sight of him during the flight , and who called around 6:30pm to get help.
The immediate intervention on site was by the technicians of the Alpine and Speleological Rescue Sardinia and a helicopter of the Decimomannu Air Force . Also on the field were the Coast Guard, the Guardia di Finanza and the firefighters, who guarded the area all night by activating an advanced command post with a UCL (Local Command Unit) vehicle and specialized personnel.

Also in flight are the drones of the SAPR (remotely piloted aircraft systems) unit of the Fire Brigade, which are flying over the vast coastal area .
