Due to the protest of the hauliers, the airports of Crotone and Reggio Calabria remained without fuel for the planes. In Lamezia Terme there are no problems and operations are proceeding regularly. This is what is communicated by Enav in a Notam, i.e. in the official notice that informs pilots and flight personnel.
The text carries the indication that "pilots must therefore plan to refuel at the departure or previous airport, in sufficient quantities for subsequent routes".
In Calabria, the stoppage of road transport, with measures in the various provinces of the Region, also has serious repercussions on the distribution of food, with perishable products, meat, fruit, fresh milk, mineral water, absent from supermarket shelves.
Fedralog announced that the stop will continue until October 27 "when Minister Salvini will have to tell us what solutions or commitments he intends to undertake for the road transport sector". There are also problems for companies that are beginning to report the difficulty of being supplied with the raw materials necessary for processing and in the delivery of finished products.
Meanwhile, due to the protest, there are queues and inconveniences on the main motorway arteries in Campania. At approximately 10.30 am, due to a demonstration affecting the motorway, the following queues were recorded: on the A1, 4km of queues in the stretch between Caserta Nord and the junction with the A30 towards Naples; on the A1, 2 km of tailback in the stretch between the barrier of Naples North and Caserta North towards Rome; on the A30, 2 km queue between Maddaloni and the junction with the A1 towards Caserta.
New protest by hauliers this morning also in Campobasso. An impressive procession of heavy vehicles and tractors entered the city just before 10am from Porta Napoli escorted by the police. The demonstration, which started from the industrial area of Campochiaro, has the slogan "Together for our future". The demonstration created traffic delays in the city center.
The road transport associations registered in the Register: 'The government must intervene to stop the blockades'
After yesterday's meeting in Milan with Minister Salvini, the hauliers' associations of the Register urgently ask for a decisive and immediate intervention by Minister Piantedosi to remove the measures that are blocking the South with impacts that are no longer sustainable both for the sector itself and for the supply system for the entire community, seriously penalizing citizens and businesses. "Continuing to block the country is no longer justifiable after the Government has reopened the dialogue with the sector and has made important commitments in continuity with the agreement of Palazzo Chigi to recognize immediate liquidity for road haulage companies and identify the measures necessary to deal with the current situation", say Anita, Cna/Fita, Confartigianatotransport, Fai, Fedit, Fiap, Sna casartigiani, Confcooperative Lavoro e Servizi, Legacoop Sviluppo e Servizi, Unatras, Assotir
Salvini: '32 thousand applications have arrived for the 480 million allocated for hauliers'
More than a billion in funds have been released for hauliers. This was stated by the Minister of Transport, Matteo Salvini, speaking on Radio Anchorio, explaining that 480 million are destined for expensive fuel between March and October and over 500 for vehicle renewal. Over 32 thousand applications were received for funds for high fuel prices.
"There were 430 million to which we added 50 new ones to help with the high cost of fuel from March to October. It was a huge effort that covers 70% of the increased costs with a fixed price of diesel for those who use diesel for work. The goal is to get to the end of the year, hoping that these two damned wars that are leading to this chaos will end." 32 thousand applications have arrived, he said, payments worth almost half a billion will begin today."
