Thanks to its central position in the Mediterranean, the current regional policies in the field of air transport aim at a strong interconnection within the island and with the airports outside the island.
The Sardinian airport system enjoys a consolidated structure, able to deal with the development of air traffic in the next decade. The current available capacity can meet a 10 million passenger traffic.
Altogether, there are 5 airport facilities (http://www.sardegnamobilita.it/index.php?xsl=1053&s=33&v=9&c=6674&es=6603&na=1&n=100) located throughout the region:
- Cagliari-Elmas Airport
- Airport of Olbia-Costa Smeralda
- Alghero Airport
- Oristano-Fenosu Airport
- Tortoli-Arbatax Airport
As far as internationalization is concerned, the promotional policy of the airports has prompted a significant development of a network of connections between Sardinia and the rest of Europe, especially with low cost companies.
In terms of domestic connections, the continuità territoriale initiative(http://www.sardegnamobilita.it/index.php?xsl=1058&s=33&v=9&c=6673&es=6603&na=1&n=100&esp=1) provides the opportunity for all citizens to move to national or EU destinations with equal opportunities, accessing a service that guarantees fair economic and quality conditions.
