Air territorial continuity, after Aeroitalia's withdrawal, uncertainty takes off over the skies of Sardinia

Uncertainty looms over Sardinia's air connections as Aeroitalia plans to withdraw from territorial continuity routes to Rome and Milan starting in 2027 due to rising jet fuel costs. CEO Gaetano Intrieri expressed concerns during a meeting with transport authorities, highlighting a significant increase in fuel prices and delays in promised financial support from the Sardinian government. Despite assurances from the region regarding reimbursement procedures, Aeroitalia's future operations remain uncertain, with the company seeking an orderly conclusion to its services. The Sardinian Transport Assessor emphasized the need for collaboration to address the potential isolation of the island following the holiday season.
