00:00Air transport plays a crucial role in Italy's economic development and consumer habits.
00:10The only thing is that perhaps there are a little too many foreign carriers and a little too much weakness of the carriers
00:16Italians in this country.
00:18Absolutely yes, in fact what I am highlighting today in this climate conference is that there is a very serious imbalance that has been created
00:28over the last twenty years air transport has grown in Italy, in the sense that the number of passengers has increased per hour, but unfortunately
00:36with a total imbalance
00:38and it was created in favor of some of their foreign coasts.
00:43And what can you tell me about the high cost of fuel and the future of the sector?
00:50Energy, fuel for airplanes is a significant cost item.
00:58That is, it accounts for more than a third of the total costs, which is why it is a very critical factor for us.
01:07At the moment, it is not known and no one knows how long, how long fuel will remain at these price levels.
01:17It is clear that if this continues for a long time, exceptional measures will certainly have to be taken because this is a situation
01:28exceptional.
01:29Can you give me an example of some exceptional measures that could be taken?
01:33But for example, Sardinia has already approved additional funds for the companies, we want Sardinian territorial continuity.
01:41that fly the Sardinian continuity
01:44because if you want to maintain that tariff level for passengers, therefore for consumers, necessarily the money that was
01:53initially planned
01:54with a fuel level that at that time was 650 euros per cubic meter, it can no longer be consistent
02:03with fuel that was over 1300 euros per cubic meter.
02:07Thank you.
