Report on operations

methodical negotiations that can provide the necessary balance to the sector and
guarantee protection and expansion of employment in the domestic air transport
industry.Air transport negotiations, begun at the Ministry of Infrastructure and
Transport in 2011, led to the signing of a protocol for stipulation of an agreement
for the domestic air transport industry. The protocol signed by the government,
employer associations and the most representative labour unions was an important
step in an attempt to restore the industry’s natural role as driver of economic and
social growth.
The ATM services section of new collective labour agreement for air transport sector
has determined the expiry date of the old agreement to be moved forward by two
years, which means that the old agreement now expires on 31 December 2016.
In view of such extension an overall financial cover for 3 million Euros was allocated
to be distributed to all ENAV personnel employed in that two-year period which will
be assigned on the basis of economic variables that are associated with productivity
rather than automatic remuneration criteria, and will be assigned on the basis of a
schedule that has not yet been defined. Moreover, regarding the result bonus for the
2015/2016 two-year period, a fixed amount of 3 million Euros was allocated.
Lastly, in relation to the trade union conflict, there was a greater incidence of strikes
in ENAV both at a local level and at a national level, determined exclusively by
aggregations of autonomous unions that are not signatory to the above mentioned
national collective labour agreement.

Training

In 2015 there were 68,208 hours of training provided to 2,230 participants broken
down as follows: 31,050 hours of ab-initio training (79 participants), 11,972 hours
of continuous training (391 participants), 11,690 hours of language training (869
participants), 6,448 hours of training on human performance (761 participants),
2,880 hours of advanced training (16 participants) and 4,168 hours of training
provided to external clients (114 participants). There is a reduction in the number of
hours delivered due to the interruption of ab-initio courses for Air Traffic Controllers
and a postponement of training activities related to the Low Cost Airport project.
In relation to external clients, the courses which were delivered in co-operation
with the Air Space Development Department (Funzione Progettazione Spazi Aerei),
were: a two-week course on Procedures for Air Navigation Service Operations (PANS-
OPS) delivered in Morocco, a course for the Greek provider and one for the Cypriot
provider. Moreover, there were courses for the Croatian provider and 3 seminars
for the aeronautical technical institutes (36 participants). The Malaysia project
