11 airlines in the race to replace Alitalia in Sardinia

by admin

Eleven calls to ensure territorial continuity between Sardinia and the peninsula. The Region is looking for airlines to ensure the transport service at controlled rates between the island and the airports of Rome and Milan.

Due step

A transition that will take place in two steps with a call for 37 million euros for seven months and another for 46 million a year (for two years) and guaranteeing territorial aerial continuity. That is, the tool that allows you to travel from regional airports to Rome and Milan at discounted rates thanks to the economic compensation that airlines receive on the basis of an agreement signed with the Region.

Emergency procedure

Currently, the territorial continuity from the three Sardinian airports is in the hands of Alitalia which will stop flying on 14 October. The convention, and therefore the economic compensation, cannot be inherited by Ita, which should begin its course on October 15th. Hence the decision of the Region, after a series of national and international initiatives and protests and interlocutions, to go ahead with a tender, with an emergency procedure, to assign the routes to Rome and Milan (and back) from the airports of Cagliari, Alghero and Olbia. As part of the announcement, it therefore sent invitations to 11 carriers operating in the national sector to participate in the selection for the assignment of the service in the agreement of the facilitated air connections in the 3 airports.

The offers

The bids must be delivered by 1pm on Friday 29. The tender provides for the assignment for 7 months of the service with public service obligations for a value of 37 million euros (gross of the auction discount), pending preparation of the new biennial call. “The offers – let the Region know – will be evaluated from a technical and economic point of view route by route, and the assignments will be specific for each route”.

The following two years

The subsequent two-year call, on the other hand, will have a starting point of 46 million euros per year, gross of the auction discount. For the trade unions that have long called for interventions to “avoid isolation” this is a “step forward” which, however, does not seem to be enough.
