- Employees at Catania, Palermo, Trapani and Comiso airports staged protests demanding improved working conditions, a coordinated emergency plan, a structural emergency fund and faster connectivity among the four Sicilian airports.
- The Regione Siciliana responded by arranging over one hundred special bus services and five special trains between Palermo and Catania during the summer emergency, and it highlighted the need to reinforce the island's airport network, noting that Comiso alone cannot handle traffic if Fontanarossa faces severe restrictions and suggesting that converting Sigonella from a military to a civilian airport could become a strategic mobility resource.
