Antitrust, Sardinian airport merger can go ahead - last hour. The concentration operation of the Sardinian airports "does not appear suitable to significantly hinder effective competition in the markets concerned" The merger project has sparked several controversies on the island, where both the outgoing regional council and Confcommercio Sud Sardegna expressed a negative opinion on the project.

The merger will result in ownership of 79.79% stakes in Geasar (Olbia-Costa Smeralda), 71% in Sogeaal (Alghero-Riviera del Corallo) for 95.7%.
