The sunset of the Air Italy dream

by admin

Air Italy’s dream of Sardinian-Qatari air transport has faded, but the most important knot still remains to be solved. The one relating to the future of the 1,383 workers, currently on layoffs until June, distributed between the two hubs. Olbia, where there are about 500 people, and Malpensa, where the others are present. The airline, in liquidation from 11 February 2020, has started the procedure for collective redundancies and without an extension of the social safety nets there will be the exit from the company.

Social shock absorbers

The last scene of a film that began on March 3 of last year when the first collective dismissal procedure was started for employees, which in the space of a year passed from the initial 1,500 to the current 1,383. Application suspended by legislative measures related to the Covid 19 health emergency. Then the trade union agreement and the redundancy fund from 1 September 2020 to 30 June 2021. On 1 April of this year the dismissal procedure was opened. A decision that the unions ask to block and opt for another extension of the social safety nets.

Requests noted also during the event that took place in Rome, in front of the Ministry of Economic Development, precisely to address the issue of transport.

Safeguarding skills

«Since air transport is the sector that entered into crisis before the others and will be the one that came out after all the others – says Arnaldo Boeddu, general secretary of Filt Sardegna – it is necessary to support workers with the extension of social safety nets. And this is what we are asking the liquidators of Air Italy: we cannot allow a wealth of skills and knowledge to be lost in this way ». Topic that will be addressed in the next few days during the meeting, convened by Air Italy, as part of the procedure envisaged by the ongoing procedure.

Expressions of interest

Then there is also the chapter relating to the expressions of interest that ended up on the liquidators’ table. Currently there would be the one presented by Ateo Air Llc. «To date we have this manifestation of interest from an investment fund – continues the trade unionist -. We will see in the meeting on the 20th what the two liquidators will tell us about the merits, or rather how well founded this interest is. In light of this manifestation of interest, an extension of the IGC would be appropriate ».
