DAT oppretter Volidisicilia, og vinner PSO kontrakt i Italia

[Trdfly]

Check-In.dk melder:

Danish Air Transport er tæt på en lukrativ kontrakt i Italien, hvor der skal beskæftiges tre ATR72-fly med omkring 200.000 passagerer om året.

Danish Air Transport (DAT) med hovedkontor i Vamdrup ved Kolding driver i dag ruteflyvning i Danmark og Norge. Aktiviteterne ventes dog i løbet af få måneder at blive udvidet til Italien, hvor DAT er i færd med at etablere datterselskabet DAT Italia.

Antar de skal bruke ATR her, selv om det ikke står noe om det i artikkelen?

Fortsetter denne neste år?

Ellers så legger de til Catania og Palermo fra Brindisi, dog kun med 1x ukentlig hver neste sommer. Så virker som noe som flyes mellom "FOT-rutene"

https://www.routesonline.com/news/38...ervice-in-s20/

Brindisi – Catania 27JUN20 – 05SEP20 1 weekly
DX1852 CTA0945 – 1135BDS AT7 6
DX1855 BDS1700 – 1900CTA AT7 6

Brindisi – Palermo 27JUN20 – 05SEP20 1 weekly
DX1854 PMO1445 – 1625BDS AT7 6
DX1853 BDS1210 – 1400PMO AT7 6

As this are only summer routes, could them be really PSO-routes?
It is a little strange ...

From what I understand, these are not PSO routes?

I'm pretty sure you're right.
It's very unlikely that they are PSO routes. Brindisi is a popular place for the Italians to have their holiday, so it's very likely that DAT will try to get some holiday traffic.

You are both right.
According to Italian infos, this are mainly tour-operator routes.

They fill the gaps between the PSO flights, I guess. In any case, this is good news for DAT. It's interesting to see how many countries that have PSO-flights. In the EU there are 12 countries with such routes. https://simpleflying.com/public-serv...are-protected/

I knew about Greece and Portugal, and could probably have thought of it being beneficial to remote regions of the UK (and they are leaving the EU soon). I am also familiar with the Norwegian system too obviously.

Hur är DATs kostnadsläge gentemot övriga bolag rent generellt? Antar att Danmark inte är billigast i Europa direkt om man inte antar att DOT LT blir operating carrier?

Great

Just for information, Astra Airlines is out of business. Olympic Air and SkyExpress have now the routes.
