Connections between Rome Fiumicino and Milan Linate to Comiso airport in the province of Ragusa have been operational since yesterday.
In this article:
The two flights, operated on a territorial continuity basis, will connect the southern part of Sicily with the Rome Fiumicino hub and Milan twice a week.
The routes were supposed to be operational as early as summer, but the pandemic had prompted the carrier to delay the opening of the route until today.
The Airbus A319 was greeted with the classic ritual of water cannons bathing the arrival of each new flight at the airport.
What is territorial continuity
With territorial continuity denotes those legislative instruments that aim to guarantee transportation services to citizens living in disadvantaged regions of the nation to which they belong, or to strengthen cohesion between different areas of the same state, overcoming disadvantages related to their remoteness, unattainability or difficult access, as in the case of enclaves or exclaves. In practice, this principle translates into a system of aid or facilities provided by the state to the citizens or regional entities concerned.
In the case of Italy, these are the connections to the two main islands of Sicily and Sardinia.
