So the planes aren’t searching for migrants. They are just going for a nice Mediterranean sight-seeing trip! But if they see boats in distress, it’s their duty to report them! And if the airport denies their landing because they are doing their due diligence, well I guess they didn’t plan to have to fly an extra hour away so now they don’t have the fuel to make it there. Time for an emergency landing which pretty much every airport respects.
Since italy pays those countries to “guard their coasts”, there have been many instances where peoples were forced to board these ships and “charity ships” were notified before hand in a sort of human-traffic type of business that makes profitable to enlarge the issue, there are multiple sides to these stories, It’s not that simple unfortunately…not that I agree with what Italy is currently doing rn of course
That "charity ship” claim is a fabrication by right-wing media that has no basis in truth and has been even thrown out of court in Italy. Please stop perpetuating such lies.
What is actually happening is that they are paying Libyanese mafia militia for illegal push back operations and they don’t want witnesses for that.
If I understand correctly, they are just not letting the planes belonging to the charities to fly out of those fields. So it’s not the landing that’s prohibited, it’s they can’t base themselves there.
Also, you technically are required to take an extra hour of fuel because airports close all the time. In theory, the airport has the right to tell you to land it in the field sonewhere.
Not that I support the Italian government in this shady shit.

In other words: fuck Italy.
