In an exciting move that could reshape air travel within Italy, ITA Airways and Volotea have teamed up to submit a joint bid to operate public service obligation (PSO) routes linking Sardinia with mainland Italy. The two carriers are vying for the opportunity to operate the Cagliari-Rome Fiumicino and Olbia-Milan Linate routes.
This collaboration marks a pivotal moment for both airlines, especially Volotea, as it aims to expand its footprint in the highly competitive Italian aviation market. By forming a temporary business association, these carriers are set to provide more direct, affordable, and efficient travel options for passengers traveling between Sardinia and mainland Italy.
