Who does not remember the times when many airlines traveled with colossal delays.
Faded images of a very distant past.
Now there is a race to ensure punctuality and compliance with the schedules, as they say in the jargon, "scheduled".
For many years, especially with the advent of low-cost carriers, it often happens that the flight arrives even earlier, an aspect that is not secondary and much appreciated by travelers.
This phenomenon also happened on Wednesday night to the aircraft coming from Fiumicino , which landed at the Olbia airport 15 minutes before the scheduled time , according to the story of Angela Asara, mother of two children (8 and 12 years old) who were supposed to travel on that one. airplane.
Angela's children were part of a group of 27 little tennis players with three chaperones, who left for Rome to attend the International Tennis Championships taking place in the capital.
The return from the wonderful experience had been organized for 11 May with Volotea 's Fiumicino-Olbia flight at 20.50 .
Unfortunately the inconveniences of the traffic of the big cities force the Gallura group to a daring arrival at Leonardo Da Vinci Airport.
I have boarding passes, no baggage to stow and a lot of anguish for the passing of the minutes. The rules are clear: the boarding gate closes 15 minutes before take-off .
A first part of the group manages to arrive a few seconds before the gate closes to check the boarding passes, the others follow after a few minutes, they are a bit behind because of the security checks .
There is bewilderment because the climate at the gate is not the best: the doors are closing and the party risks being divided.
