The territorial continuity regime from and to Sardinia will close two months earlier, without compensation, guaranteed up to now by Ita and Volotea.
The two companies had given their availability to cover the routes for 12 months, from 15 May 2022 to 14 May 2023. Today, however, it is no longer possible to book a flight on Volotea after 12 February.
In recent weeks, the two carriers have sent the Region two letters in which they had anticipated their intention to renounce the uncompensated tender, citing expensive fuel as one of the reasons . By law they are required to fly for another six months : the end of the regime without compensation will therefore materialize in March, two months before the natural expiration of the experiment.
Former Transport Councilor Giorgio Todde (Lega) had announced that the notice with compensation is ready to be published. The new regime, in all likelihood, will start as soon as the one without compensation closes: in terms of frequency, the compensated tender will be identical to the current one .
"The impossibility of finding tickets beyond February 2023 - explained the regional councilor of the Progressives Massimo Zedda , on the occasion of an electoral meeting promoted by the candidate for the Chamber Francesca Ghirra - is linked to the fact that the two companies wrote to the Region a few weeks ago to communicate the impossibility of continuing without compensation due to the cost of fuel and the lack of public resources ". Now, comments Zedda, "in the absence of a call for the umpteenth time we will have a void, given the impossibility of booking for next spring".
After Todde's resignation , the delegation of Transport is in the hands of the President of the Region Christian Solinas, who hired it ad interim pending the appointment of the new councilor.
