Alghero + Cagliari
Do Alghero and Cagliari really get enough demand for non-domestic flights outside the May-September period ?
As far as I'm aware, unlike the Costa del Sol there aren't swatches of non-locals with appartments on Sardinia. For someone living in NW Europe, a trip to the beach in January somehow doesn't hold much appeal ! In any case, if you want warmth, would Palermo be a safer bet ? Or, was demand for AHO and CAG far greater than expected last winter ?
I'm puzzled why MOL didn't pick somewhere near Naples (e.g. Salerno) as a base so as to get bi-directional demand. Anyone in the know care to give a likely rationale for the Sardinia option ?
