Air Campania's Vehicle Relocation: Hopes for Equitable Investments and Service Improvements

"I have received news that Air Campania, after a long struggle, has transferred the vehicles previously allocated at the Benevento Piano Cappelle depot to the new Ponte Valentino depot. I hope that this choice is an optimal solution for the workers involved and that it entails greater attention to the issues that affect our territory, in addition to a real commitment to improving the services offered to citizens." Thus, in a note, the regional councilor Pd Erasmo Mortaruolo, who adds: "As a regional councilor and vice president of the Labor, Productive Activities and Tourism Commission, I will be personally committed to ensuring that this transfer contributes to the company's relaunch in the territory. Just as it has been done for the province of Avellino and announced for that of Caserta, I hope and ask that the company commit to investing in the province of Benevento in a fair way. This could include evaluations on the acquisition of a new depot, the construction of a bus station or the restoration of stops along the lines, considering that innovative systems are being introduced throughout the region, but not in the province of Benevento. It is essential to pay strong attention to the Sannio, which currently remains a critical point of Campania, with objectives to be pursued to overcome the isolation that some areas of the territory live. We must not limit ourselves to a simple relocation of the plant, but we must aim for a real improvement of the services offered." Mortaruolo also points out that "the investments announced and made in other territories have sparked controversy among the citizens of the Sannita province, highlighting an imbalance in the available resources. These situations damage the image of the Campania Region in terms of equity and inclusion. After the large investments to improve public transport throughout the region, it is essential to avoid that the citizens of the Sannio feel marginalized. I wish good work to the workers of the territory - he concludes - and I hope that the problems raised regarding the new location are addressed and resolved as soon as possible."
