The envelopes with the offers of the emergency call for territorial continuity have been opened. Volotea risks being excluded due to a formal defect
–
CAGLIARI. Ita and Volotea are the only two companies interested in guaranteeing from 14 October to 14 May, therefore for 7 months, the coverage of flights in territorial continuity to and from Sardinia, after the extension of the service charges imposed by a decree signed by the minister Giovannini. This is what emerges in the Department of Transport where the opening of the envelopes with offers has begun. The service should be awarded in the morning. Even if Volotea, despite having made lower offers better than those of Ita, risks being excluded from the tender due to a formal defect: the identity document of the ad.
A total of twelve envelopes were presented, six by Ita and six by Volotea, one for each of the connections between the island’s three airports – Alghero, Cagliari and Olbia – and the airports of Rome Fiumicino and Milan Linate. The Region, as confirmed by the Transport Councilor Giorgio Todde on the sidelines of the opening of the envelopes, had invited 11 carriers, those operating nationally. That is: Ryanair, EasyJet, Volotea, Ita, Blue Air, Vueling, Dat-Danish Air Transport, Blue Panorama, Neos, Air Malta and Wizz Air. To these, in extremis, was added the company Tayaran Jet. According to the urgent announcement, pending the new two-year tender of 46 million euros a year that has yet to be prepared, for the seven months of service there are provision 37 million euros. Different rates between residents and non-residents that must be guaranteed, gross of taxes and charges, by the carriers: for the first 39 euros to fly to Rome and 47 euros to and from Milan (there will be no restrictions, even in the event of a change flight, or quotas of available seats); for the latter the rate will be the market rate.
