A network to guarantee it “synergistic and efficient development of airports”. According to the professor of air navigation law at the University of Bologna, Anna Masuttithis is a necessity for the Island which was discussed today during the presentation of White paper on Sardinia’s infrastructure priorities made by Chambers of Commerce with the support of Uniontrasporti. The network, explained the teacher, “also allows the application of economies of scale and scope, with a reorganization of services”.
The theme is that of the merger of the three Sardinian airports: that of Cagliari-Elmasthat of Alghero is that of Olbia. According to Masutti’s analysis, the advantages would also concern citizens. “Unity is strength, so if there is an aggregation that allows for cost savings, these savings can then be used for a greater quality of services offered to consumers. In Italy there are already eight airport networks and the establishment of the Sardinian one is already foreseen in the national airport plan”. Not a single management, “because the managements remain what they are, the concession was given to the current managers and the operation that was proposed by the Cagliari Chamber of Commerce allows the situation to remain the current one and it cannot be otherwise ”.
Agostino Cicalòpresident of the Nuoro Chamber of Commerce, spoke at the conference together with his colleague from Cagliari-Oristano, Maurizio de Pascale, and specified: “I would like to remind you that all the Chambers of Commerce of Sardinia have formally expressed their positive wishes regarding this project in their Boards of Directors and in their Executive Committees. These are facts, they are the wishes of the business world in this region, with respect to the projects that must serve to make the system we absolutely need more efficient, it is important that it is clarified and reiterated, net of some confusions that occasionally arise they hear around.”
