Operating performance – Sector analysis

Commercial Aviation

The Commercial Aviation business includes Aviation and Non Aviation operations: the former includes the management, development and maintenance of airport infrastructure and plant and the offer to SEA Group customers of services and activities related to the arrival and departure of aircraft, in addition to airport safety services. The revenues generated by these activities are established by a regulated tariff system and comprise airport fees, fees for the use of centralised infrastructure, in addition to security fees and tariffs for the use of check-in desks and spaces by airlines and handlers. The Non-Aviation business however provides a wide and segregated offer, managed both directly and under license to third parties, of commercial services for passengers, operators and visitors to the Airports, in addition to the real estate segment.  The revenues from this area consist of the market fees for activities directly carried out by the Group and from activities carried out by third parties under license and of royalties based on a percentage of revenues generated by the licensee, usually with the provision of a guaranteed minimum.

This segment includes also income from warehouse, space and office rental to Cargo business operators, such as cargo handlers, transport companies and couriers.
