There are only twelve days left for Alitalia to leave the scene and the consequent takeover of Ita, the state company that has provisionally won the regional tender, but there are still no answers for Sardinian continuity.
Volotea, excluded for formal defects in the application, has announced that it will file an appeal . And in the meantime, booking a flight - in territorial continuity, but not only - for the next seven months starting from 15 October remains a dream.
"We are sorry but it was not possible to proceed with the requested operation. We invite you to try again", you read on the monitors when you connect to the Ita site, which has not yet received any communication indicating its success in the tender.
THE UNIONS - The regional secretary of CGIL Trasporti, Arnaldo Boeddu, launches accusations against the center-right that governs the Region: "Their electoral program was centered on amazing promises, but one cannot but remember that the president of the Giunta blocked immediately after his election the tender for territorial continuity developed by the previous one of the center-left and promised a new call in 9/12 months. Instead since then we have continued to have extensions upon extensions and the promises of connections to and from Naples, Palermo, Turin, Bologna, Florence and Verona at discounted rates have remained on paper ”.
Giuseppe Talanas, president of the Transport commission of the Regional Council, shares the fears of the trade unions in the sector: "The warning is right, at this point it is necessary to understand what the strategy of the Regional Council will be." For this reason, Talanas announces, "in first days of the week I intend to convene the Transport Commission for a hearing of the councilor Giorgio Todde. "Also from the Sardinian CGIL Transport a request to the Region starts:" Ask the Government for guarantees: if Ita should not be really operational from October 15 ", as would foresee the route already traced, "Alitalia will continue to guarantee flights in continuity as it has done up to now".
