ABOUT MARIO GARAU
As Head of Route Development and Aviation Marketing at Olbia Airport (Sardinia), I lead the strategic planning and execution of new air services, with a strong focus on market analysis, airline partnerships, and sustainable growth.My work spans aviation, tourism, and real estate development — combining data-driven insights with long-term commercial vision. In recent years, I’ve contributed to the recovery and expansion of our network, positioning Olbia as one of the most dynamic and resilient leisure airports in Southern Europe.In parallel, I serve as CEO of Alisarda S.p.A, the airport’s real estate subsidiary, where I oversee the commercial and industrial property portfolio, including tenancy negotiations, asset development, and strategic land use planning. This dual role allows me to contribute to the airport’s broader ecosystem — integrating air traffic growth with infrastructure, services, and community value.I collaborate with major international airlines, tourism boards, and institutions to explore new route opportunities, negotiate incentive schemes, and implement targeted promotion strategies — all with the goal of unlocking Sardinia’s full potential as a premium, year-round destination.I hold an MBA from SDA Bocconi and bring a solid business foundation to the air transport sector, with a cross-functional approach and entrepreneurial mindset.Always open to exchanging ideas, insights and opportunities across the aviation, tourism, and infrastructure ecosystems.
