The Crotone Airport Citizen Committee has formally criticized the lack of development and investment at the Crotone airport facility. The group alleged that the airport manager, Sacal, has failed to revitalize the site since 2016, contrasting this with investments made at the Lamezia Terme and Reggio Calabria airports. Advocates warned that deteriorating transport links are impacting local mobility and forcing residents to leave the region.

Following these complaints, the committee issued an open letter to Regional President Roberto Occhiuto. The letter demands certainty regarding flight schedules, year-round connectivity, and structural funding to ensure territorial continuity, specifically for the route to Rome.
