Purchases of goods consist mainly of the costs incurred to purchase spare parts
for systems and equipment used for air traffic control and the relative change to
inventories. The increase for the period is due to the higher number of spare parts
bought for radars, telecommunication devices and the luminous visual aids.
The costs for services record a decrease in the period of € 12,723 thousand with the
trend differing according to the type of expense. In particular, we note the following:
i) an increase in maintenance costs for € 2,116 thousand referring mainly to aircraft
maintenance for the global support of the Piaggio P180 Avanti II – I-ENAV NC
1230 for € 415 thousand and the maintenance of the SIPRO-AIRNAS system that
became operational at the end of the previous financial period. The maintenance
of installations and devices to control air traffic is essentially comparable to the
previous year, despite the fact that maintenance at Treviso and Brindisi Airports was
handed over to the subsidiary Techno Sky in 2015, with the management of the
relevant assets entrusted to ENAV; ii) a reduction in the Eurocontrol grant, as per the
figures approved and notified by the latter, and due for the activities carried out for
en-route services; iii) the drop in costs for utilities and telecommunication for € 2,687
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 on network data traffic management; iv) a decrease in cleaning
