Italian carrier Aeroitalia has revived the air connection between Cuneo-Levaldigi in Piedmont and Cagliari in Sardinia, operating twice weekly every Friday and Sunday from 19 December. The route fills a gap left by Ryanair, which suspended the service in October, and becomes Aeroitalia’s first venture at the Levaldigi airport.
For northern Italian companies with facilities in Cagliari’s fast-growing tech cluster, the reinstated link slashes travel times compared with connections via Milan or Rome. Flights depart Cagliari at 12:30, touching down in Cuneo at 13:50, with the return leg leaving at 14:40—allowing same-day meetings. Introductory fares start at €45 one-way.
For international staff or clients transiting through Cuneo or Cagliari from outside the Schengen zone, securing the correct travel documents in advance is essential. VisaHQ’s Italy portal (https://www.visahq.com/italy/) streamlines the process by guiding applicants through up-to-date Schengen visa requirements, documentation checklists and appointment scheduling—ensuring that overseas visitors can make the most of Aeroitalia’s new schedule without administrative delays.

Levaldigi airport management hailed the deal as “a milestone” that could precipitate additional domestic and cross-border routes. Aeroitalia, which positions itself as a regional full-service alternative to low-cost rivals, said it sees strong demand from SME exporters in Piedmont and leisure traffic headed to Sardinia’s winter sun.
Mobility planners should be aware that Sardinia imposes seasonal ‘continuity of service’ rules designed to maintain year-round island connectivity; Aeroitalia’s entry provides competitive redundancy that reduces the risk of future route gaps. Employers with staff on rotation between continental plants and Sardinian sites are encouraged to update their preferred-carrier agreements.
If bookings meet expectations, Aeroitalia indicated it could add a third weekly frequency for the summer 2026 timetable, potentially extending to Olbia and Alghero.
