The privatization of SAC S.p.A., the company managing the Catania-Fontanarossa and Comiso airports, has become a subject of dispute and calls for increased oversight.

Initial tensions emerged regarding the distribution of documentation during the process. While SAC S.p.A. President Anna Maria Rita Quattrone testified that all board members received necessary information, other council members claimed that requests for documents via certified email were refused. The Patto per la Sicilia orientale has sought to resolve these discrepancies through legal evaluation.

In response to the situation, the Siracusa Provincial Council unanimously approved an agenda to ensure the transition of ownership considers economic development, tourism, and employment in eastern Sicily. As a public shareholder with a 12.13% stake, the Libero Consorzio Comunale di Siracusa is demanding maximum transparency and an independent valuation of SAC, its public shares, and the airport infrastructure to protect strategic public interests.
