38 ENAV – 2014 Financial Statements

The measures implemented in 2014 improved the flight planning of airlines
that fly to/from Italian airports or that fly over airspace in which ENAV
provides air traffic services.

By the end of 2013, the Free Route Italy Project had made practically direct
routes (used mainly by fly-over traffic) available at night, on holidays,
and on weekends. From the spring to the end of 2014, the more extensive
program for Reorganization of National Air Spaces was carried out with the
goal of revising the air space structure in order to prepare a more efficient
flight network.

Thanks to the optimization of turn-around procedures and the integration
and constant exchange of data among Stakeholders (ENAV, airport
manager, airline companies, and European Network Manager), the Airport
Collaborative Decision Making (A-CDM) system promotes operative
management, helps optimize ground management/handling and the
use of airport capacity where implemented, increasing the profitability of
occupation of air space and, consequently, the management of air traffic
flows. The A-CDM system was implemented for Rome Fiumicino in 2013
and for Milan Malpensa in October of 2014; after a trial phase, the system
went fully operative at Venice airport in January 2015.

These implementations produced good results in 2014 as well. The

estimate of planned saving demonstrates that horizontal routing improved

by 823,500 nautical miles and that, together with a sharp increase in more

advantageous vertical profiles, an estimated reduction in fuel consumption

of 9,240 tonnes was achieved, with a consequent potential reduction of

29,100 MtoinlannesMoaflpCeOn2sea,mRiossmioenFsi.uTmaxici-ininog, times were shortened at Milan
Linate, Venice and Bergamo, which will

be monitored by the European Performance Review Body for the second

period of the National Performance Plan.

Actions under ENAV’s FEP, beyond supporting a model of sustainable
development, also generate an economic saving for Airspace Users. Even
if the average price of aviation fuel was much lower than in 2013, i.e.
about ¤0.50/kg, the activities monitored under the FEP alone generated a
potential economic countervalue of approximately ¤6.1 million.
