" We do not intend to accept lessons in punctuality and timing from those who took almost three years to agree on a new ministerial decree for territorial continuity, which then turned out to be undersized and deficient ." The regional councilor for Transport Barbara Manca thus responds to the words of her predecessor Antonio Moro and the Forza Italia deputy Ugo Cappellacci, who accused the Regional Council of being late in the approval process for the new air territorial continuity .
The councilor then highlights how "in just six months we have managed to modify the inherited decree, obtaining a structural increase in flights accompanied, for the first time and thanks to dialogue with the companies, by passenger booking data. Now we can sit down at the table with the Ministry of Transport without being tied down to achieve together a result that truly represents a qualitative improvement compared to what we have been used to in recent years". The center-right, on the other hand, "had been elected in February 2019 and their reference Ministerial Decree was approved in November 2021".
" Moro and Cappellacci - Manca emphasizes - should not forget that, if we had not extended the current model, Sardinia would have been left without territorial continuity . It was precisely our timing that ensured the continuity of the service, despite having been in office as a council for only a few weeks. We had to dedicate much of our time to building a database based on both final data and almost real-time flight bookings - specifies the member of the council Todde -. When we arrived, this database, essential for carrying out analyses capable of defending a robust continuity model, was totally non-existent". "We are dedicating the necessary time to achieve the result we want and not arrive, as has happened in the past, unprepared for the dialogue with the Ministry and Europe. The approval of the new decree is proceeding quickly, even if the timing does not depend only on us, considering the other parties involved. We are certainly calm and serene, both for the improvements obtained on the old decree, and because the in-depth analyses that we have conducted have already been appreciated at ministerial level as a fundamental basis for a constructive dialogue with Europe".
