Financial release 19 January 2015
The preparation of the Economic Regulation Agreement (ERA) covering the 2016-2020 period is a key opportunity for Aéroports de Paris Group to engage in discussions with all stakeholders. After the indepth consultation of air carriers in 2014 and the hearing of their expectations and priorities, Aéroports de Paris, during the last quarter of 2014, presented them and their representatives on the Consultative Economic Commission (Cocoéco), with its initial proposed guidelines for the main lines of the next 2016-2020 ERA.
Aéroports de Paris has today published the public consultation document for the 2016-2020 ERA, available on www.aeroportsdeparis.fr, which presents its detailed proposal for 2016-2020 ERA. This proposal feeds the institutional debates on the overall competitiveness of the air transport sector, and in particular its contribution to the French economy.
The regulation agreements are important drivers of change for the Group. Since 2006, when the first ERA came into force, Aéroports de Paris has thus radically modernised its infrastructures, in particular the Paris-Charles de Gaulle hub. This metamorphosis has been made possible by the unprecedented motivation of the Group's employees, and carried out in a difficult economic context. For this reason, since 2010, Aéroports de Paris has been committed to maintaining a moderate tariff policy along with stringent financial discipline.
For the upcoming 2016-2020 ERA, Aéroports de Paris wishes to step up this strategy:
Augustin de Romanet, Chairman & CEO of Aéroports de Paris, made the following statement:
"We have made use of all the levers at our disposal to ensure the consistency, effectiveness and fairness of this proposal for all air transport players. The investment programme was closely tailored to the requirements in terms of capacity, safety and quality. The pricing structure project has undergone indepth changes and will promote the development of international and connecting traffic. The productivity effort which Aéroports de Paris is ready to deploy is unprecedented, in order to set a strong moderation in tariffs while the investment programme will greatly exceed that of the previous period. In 2020, Aéroports de Paris will obtain a fair return on the capital invested in the regulated scope.
At the end of the road, this dossier reflects our trust in our economic model and in its capacity to gain traffic, create value, stimulate and share growth and constantly adapt to the changes in its environment. This proposal is a well-balanced proposal made by a company out to win new business, promoting the development of the air transport sector, the economy and employment."
