The Decree n.1 dated 24/01/2012, converted into law n. 27 of 24 March 2012, implementing the 2009/12/EC Directive on Airport Charges, entrusts the Italian Regulatory Authority for Transport (ART) with supervisory responsibilities and financial regulation tasks, including the approval of airport charging schemes and the level of charges themselves.
With resolution n. 92/2017 dated 06 July 2017, ART published an update to tariff models regulating the definition of rates for services supplied by airport operators on an exclusive basis, as well as the process for sharing these rates with airport Users. The tariff model applied by Verona Villafranca Airport is Model 2 – for airports with traffic between 3 and 5 million passengers per year.
The Company "Aeroporto Valerio Catullo di Verona Villafranca Spa", concessionaire for the management and development of Verona Airport, has started the airport charges redefinition procedure for the period 2020 - 2023, with Bridge Year 2019 and Base Year 2018, according to the "Airport Charges Tariff Model for airports with traffic between 3 and 5 million passengers per year" (hereinafter "Model 2") issued by ART.
The revision of Verona Airport charges is intended to support the investment plan put forward by the Company, partly already under way, scheduled during the Regulatory Period 2020 - 2023. On the whole, this plan will improve Verona Airport’s infrastructures and their overall service quality, for better Users satisfaction.
The planned development has been defined in such a way as to be fully sustainable as far as the environment and the safety/security are concerned, in compliance with the most advanced best-practices in airport operations.
According to the art. 3.2 and 3.3 of Model 2, on 16 January 2020 Aeroporto Valerio Catullo di Verona Villafranca Spa notified to ART to have scheduled for 03 February 2020 the launch of the Airport Users Consultation on the proposed revision of Airport Charges for the Regulatory Period 2020 - 2023.
By acknowledgement of notification receipt published by ART on its website (Aeroporto di Verona Villafranca: avviso di intervenuta notifica di avvio della consultazione degli utenti per la modifica dei diritti aeroportuali), the Users Consultation has been formally opened.
