AUC vs. DUC
In 2023, the terminal AUC was +12.8% (or +18.66 €2017) higher than the planned DUC. This results from the combination of significantly lower than planned TNSUs (-25.7%) and significantly lower than planned terminal costs in real terms (-16.2%, or -2.9 M€2017). It should be noted that actual inflation index in 2023 was +9.8 p.p. higher than planned.
Terminal service units
The difference between the 2023 actual and planned TNSUs (-25.7%) falls outside the ±10% threshold foreseen in the traffic risk sharing mechanism. The resulting loss of terminal revenues is therefore shared between the ANSP and the airspace users.
Terminal costs by entity
The 2023 actual real terminal ANS costs are -16.2% (-2.9 M€2017) lower than planned. This is the result of lower than planned costs for the main ANSP, Fintraffic ANS (-16.2%, or -2.6 M€2017) and the MET service provider (-17.0%, or -0.2 M€2017).
Terminal costs for the main ANSP at charging zone level
The 2023 real actual terminal ANS costs for Fintraffic ANS are significantly lower than planned (-16.2%, or -2.6 M€2017) , partially due to a higher than planned inflation index and resulting from:
- Significantly lower than planned staff costs (-21.6%) reported to be mainly due to “lower head count (postponed recruitment), staff cost savings included temporary lay-offs, abandoning bonuses, lower pension costs and other savings in staff costs.”,
- Significantly lower than planned other operating costs (-8.4%), reported to be mainly dur to the impact of the inflation index,
- Depreciation costs in line with the plan in real terms (-0.1%),
- Significantly lower than planned cost of capital (-19.2%), reported to be mainly “due to lower fixed assets. Most of the cost of capital is included in the leasing costs (included in other operating costs).Finavia owns the ANS assets and Fintraffic ANS pays for their use.
