What changes the outlook
Risk increases if…
Airlines publish cancellations or significantly reduced replacement schedules rather than operating the reported diversions through Salerno.
The planned bus and fixed-fare taxi services prove insufficient for passenger volumes during the November closure.
Pressure eases if…
Airlines maintain replacement services through Salerno with schedules that preserve the affected connections.
The added buses and trial taxis operate throughout November as planned, reducing the extra transfer burden.
Still unclear
