Caro voli preoccupante Le criticità per i network

Elisabetta Palai of Welcome Travel Group and Sarah Bogani of Frigerio Viaggi note air capacity hasn't fully recovered, inflating prices, especially in high season. Destinations affected are those farther away, unlike medium and short-haul locations. Mario Vercesi of Gattinoni Travel mentions Egypt's surge in demand over Spanish Balearics and Mare Italia, which sees late family bookings for August.
