Cna Sicilia: "Transforming the entire island airport system"

After two weeks of problems at the airport, the Cna Sicilia asks that - "faced with a phenomenon destined to recur" - the SAC, in collaboration with regional and national institutions, overcomes "the logic of the emergency" and prepares "a structural plan that transforms the entire island airport system into an integrated and resilient network". In particular, the need to "strengthen and fully integrate the airports of Comiso, Trapani and Palermo as stable operational alternatives and not as simple 'spare wheels', in order not to be found unprepared for the next emergency", is underlined.
