Italian airport operators face union dispute and CEO pay rise

The management of Genoa Airport rejected union accusations that the outsourcing of handling services would lead to job cuts, stating that the tender process was agreed with all labor representatives and that employment levels remained unchanged.

At Cagliari Airport, the newly appointed chief executive received a salary increase to €190,000 plus additional compensation for a security subsidiary, tripling the pay of his predecessor. The appointment occurs amid ongoing debates over the airport's privatization and related legal and territorial challenges.
