The costs for goods and services include both the costs for purchasing the spare parts
relating to systems and devices used in air traffic control and the relevant changes
to inventories, as well as the purchase of the materials needed for the restructuring
and upgrading of airports. The increase for the period is due to the higher number of
spare parts bought for radars, telecommunication devices and the luminous visual
aids, and the materials purchased for the parent company’s investment contracts.
The costs for services record a decrease in the period of € 11,523 thousand with the
trend differing according to the type of expense. In particular, we note the following:
i) an increase in maintenance costs for € 3,447 thousand referring mainly to aircraft
maintenance for the global support of the Piaggio P180 Avanti II – I-ENAV NC 1230
for € 415 thousand, the maintenance of the SIPRO-AIRNAS system that became
operational at the end of the previous financial period and the maintenance for the
upgrading and adaptation of the electrical power plan at Rome Ciampino Airport; ii)
a reduction in the Eurocontrol contribution, as per the figures approved and notified
by the latter, and due for the en-route services activities carried out; iii) a decrease
in costs for utilities and telecommunication for € 2,734 thousand refers principally
to the reduced costs for the operating data connections (E-net network) following
a 25% reduction in prices provided by the supplier for the period June – October
after intense negotiations between the parties, as well as a reduction in the prices
