The Cagliari Prosecutor's Office has launched a criminal investigation into the proposed privatization and merger of Sardinia's airports. The project aimed to establish a single holding company for the Cagliari, Olbia, and Alghero airports.

As the investigation proceeds, the term sheet signed by the Regional Government, the Cagliari-Oristano Chamber of Commerce, F2i, and the Fondazione di Sardegna has expired. This development has led the center-right minority in the Sardinia Regional Council to demand that President Alessandra Todde provide explanations regarding the initiation and management of the operation.
