The one millionth passenger transported to Sardinia by Volotea under the territorial continuity regime was celebrated at the Elmas airport. This is Carlo Avataneo , a 70-year-old pharmacist from Cagliari, who received a thousand euros as a prize to be used for the purchase of flights to and from the island with the airline.
The low cost company operates from Cagliari and Olbia to Milan Linate and Rome Fiumicino without any economic compensation (and will be so until May 2023), and also connects medium-sized cities and European capitals.
The special ceremony for the first million passengers in Sardinia - in continuity - was set up in the check-in area. To celebrate Avataneo were Valeria Rebasti, Country Manager Italy & Southeastern Europe of Volotea, and the top management of Sogaer.
“Over the years, a perfect synergy has been established between Volotea and Sardinia and we are really happy to be able to celebrate, after a few months, our 1st millionth passenger transported under territorial continuity - comments Rebasti -. Today's goal, in addition to rewarding our investments in the area, confirms how successful the choice to participate in the tender for the assignment of territorial continuity has proved to be. We have found reliable strategic partners on the island who have accompanied us on our growth path and we thank the management of the Sardinian airports and all the local authorities for having believed in our project. We have never stopped investing in the local area, which represents one of the most important international markets: we have contributed significantly to supporting the Sardinia Region and its economy, also through the creation of numerous employment opportunities ".
