AUC vs. DUC
In the combined year 2020-2021, the terminal AUC was -8.0% (or -29.20€2017) lower than the planned DUC. This results from the combination of higher than planned TNSUs (+4.7%) and lower than planned terminal costs in real terms (-3.6%, or -1.1 M€2017).
Terminal service units
The difference between actual and planned TNSUs (+4.7%) falls between the ±2% dead band, and the ±10% threshold. The resulting gain of additional terminal revenues is therefore shared between the ATSP and the airspace users, with the ATSP (Fintraffic ANS) retaining an amount of +0.8 M€2017.
Terminal costs by entity
Actual real terminal costs are -3.6% (-1.1 M€2017) lower than planned. This is driven by the main ANSP, Fintraffic ANS (-3.6%, or -1.0 M€2017) and the MET service provider (-4.4%, or -0.1 M€2017).
Terminal costs for the main ANSP at charging zone level
The lower than planned terminal costs in real terms for Fintraffic ANS (-3.6%, or -1.0 M€2017) result from:
- lower staff costs (-4.5%), “due to temporary lay-offs, lower head count, abandoning bonuses, lower pension costs, postponing recruiting and other savings in staff costs”;
- lower other operating costs (-2.9%), “due to savings in many cost groups: voluntary staff costs (health cost, training, parking) and travel costs due to remote work, less payments to airport operator (Finavia) due to new contracts related to HR and ICT, lower telecommunication costs, lower credit losses, less purchases of equipment and spare parts, costs of operative ICT services lower than planned”;
- slightly higher depreciation (+1.2%); and
- slightly lower cost of capital (-1.3%).
