Governor Christian Solinas plays the relaunch to try to block, or at least freeze, the merger project of the management companies of the two airports of Olbia and Alghero (Geasar and Sogeaal), carried out by the F2i fund, which holds the majority of the shares.
The Region asks "to re-evaluate, given the delicacy and complexity of the issues in question", the postponement of the extraordinary meetings convened for Monday 29 May, with the incorporation on the agenda, "for a sufficient time and in any case not less than 60 days". The appeal is contained in a letter that Solinas sent to the Minister of Infrastructure and Transport, Matteo Salvini, to the Deputy Minister Galeazzo Bignami, to the President of the Transport Commission of the Chamber, Salvatore Deidda, to Enac, to F2i Ligantia, to F2i Smeralda , Geasar, Sogeaal, and for information to the president of the Sardinia Foundation, Giacomo Spissu, and to the director of F2i Sgr, Antonello Cabras.
A move that comes after the stalemate that emerged from the meeting convened this morning by Deputy Minister Galeazzo Bignami: a meeting that was supposed to clarify things, but only produced further tensions. The representatives of F2i, despite the opposition of the Region, confirmed the meetings of 29 May.
«The ENAC», writes the president Solinas, «following the outcome of preliminary investigations, has communicated to the companies Geasar and Sogeaal that it believes that, at present, the proposed merger project into a single airport management company cannot be authorized because it is in contrast with the forecasts, the principles and the reference regulatory framework".
For the same reasons, "ENAC has made the authorization of the merger project subject to the identification of suitable solutions to guarantee the exercise of corporate prerogatives to the Region". With the current project, the highest Sardinian institution would be relegated to owning only a small minority.
«However», continues the president Solinas, «a preliminary point concerning the strategic vision of the Sardinian airport system, connected to the affirmation of the constitutionally guaranteed right to mobility and accessibility of the Island of Sardinia».
«Despite the aforementioned, physiological and linear institutional path proposed», with the Region asking to evaluate all aspects and asking for time, « F2i Sgr reiterated that it did not want to accept the repeated invitations aimed at postponing the shareholders' meetings in question to allow a free and serene discussion on the point», concludes Solinas.
