In case of any inconsistency between the two versions, the Italian original version shall prevail Dear Shareholders, After several years of uninterrupted progress and a record year for traffic and earnings growth in 2019, 2020 was truly an “annus horribilis” for Bologna Airport and the aviation sector. As COVID-19 spread across the globe at the beginning of 2020, forcing governments to impose contagion containment measures and restrict movement, traffic at Bologna Airport came to a near-total standstill, with just one passenger flight a day to Rome for a long period, from March to May 2020. At this time Bologna Airport was one of the few airports allowed to remain open in Italy, by express provision of Ministerial Decree No. 112 of March 12, 2020. On the other hand, during the first few months and those that followed, a large number of cargo charter flights were arranged to import medical equipment, allowing Bologna Airport to provide a vital public service. A little more than a year on from the outbreak of the pandemic, we can safely say it has been much more than a simple "setback" and has instead resulted in the worst global crisis experienced by air transport in modern times. Tourism, air transport, and the aviation sector as a whole have been hit the hardest, and we cannot begin to estimate the impact the pandemic will have on the global economy, given the persistent uncertainty surrounding its duration. Today, we can at least highlight the effects of the pandemic on air traffic, our operating results for 2020, and on the equity-financial structure of both the Company and the AdB Group at December 31, 2020. During a year in which international and European passenger traffic returned to levels last seen over 20 years ago, with traffic falling by 65.9% and 69.9% respectively compared to 2019, and Italian traffic falling by 72.6%, Bologna Airport served 2,506,258 passengers against 9,405,920 passengers in 2019 (a decrease of 73.4%), reducing airport traffic to levels not seen since 1997. Cargo traffic fared better, with an 11.2% decrease compared to 2019, confirming that the pandemic had a lower impact on the sector. The average decrease recorded in Italy was 23.7%, demonstrating that the freight sector was more resilient than the passenger sector. The figures set out above highlight the magnitude of the pandemic’s impact on the AdB Group’s business and show that comparison with the previous financial year and with objective indicators such as service quality are not meaningful, so much so that ENAC halted customer satisfaction surveys in the second quarter of 2020, and the Services Charter for 2020 was not published. The Group is therefore reporting results which are significantly down on 2019: consolidated revenues have fallen from Euro 125 million to Euro 67 million (-46%, or -65% including revenue adjusted for the revenues from construction services linked to the higher investments made), consolidated EBITDA has fallen from a profit of Euro 45 million to a loss of Euro 4 million and the result for the year has dropped from a profit of Euro 21 million to a consolidated loss of Euro 13.6 million The primary differences between the two years are due almost exclusively to the dramatic reduction in air traffic and revenues as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, mitigated only partly by the various cost-containment measures implemented by the Group in response to the crisis. Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna S.p.A. 3 This document is a courtesy translation from Italian into English. In case of any inconsistency between the two versions, the Italian original version shall prevail For this reason, rather than commenting on the operating data for 2020, we will seek to report on the actions taken by the Group to contain the effects of the collapse of air traffic, taking into account the fact that the situation deteriorated very quickly, changing almost by the hour, providing us with very little time to react and respond and affording us very little visibility concerning the future. Our efforts focused primarily on measures to protect the health and safety of our employees and passengers by minimising human contact. We asked our many non-operational employees to work from home, enforced social distancing, and implemented sanitation measures to prevent the spread of the virus among the airport community as a whole. Confirming the Group’s commitment to adopt measures to reduce as much as possible the risk of infection, Bologna Airport was the first airport in Europe, and among the first globally, to receive Airport Health Accreditation from ACI World (ACI = Airport Council International). The Group also attempted to contain costs by activating the Extraordinary Temporary Lay-Off Scheme for all employees of the Parent Company and its subsidiary FFM. In addition, the Group renegotiated contracts with suppliers, closed operational areas to save on utilities and services, and cancelled or postponed non-strategic and/or deferable activities. Investments were also evaluated and analysed to identify new priorities and phases in the action plan, to perform the alignment required with the updated sector scenarios; the aim was to agree with ENAC an optimum and sustainable development plan in light of the air traffic situation At the same time, during 2020 the Group has responsibly and enthusiastically persevered with the commitments it had already made, undertaking a very large volume of investments totalling Euro 33 million, compared to Euro 19 million in 2019. Among the many investments made, mention should be made of the structural and functional redevelopment works carried out on a section of runway, necessitating the closure of the airport for 10 days in September, during which a few of the works planned for 2022 were also brought forward to make the most of the reduction in air traffic and to prepare for recovery. At the same time, the Group actively worked to try to ensure particularly favourable temporary conditions with a view to safeguarding the commercial operations and passenger services segment, as well as renewing structures and contractual terms to support the future recovery. The Group addressed the significant pressure on liquidity caused by the drastic reduction in income following the decline in activity and the payment extensions granted to clients in severe financial difficulties by seeking new sources of operating funding. Two loans were finalised with a SACE guarantee for a total of Euro 58.9 million. Towards the end of this exceptionally difficult year, hope appeared on the horizon. COVID-19 vaccines were made available, in amounts that we hope will continue to increase, thanks to an enormous collaborative, technological and financial effort around the globe and through cooperation between public and private entities. In addition, positive news for the aviation sector and Bologna Airport arrived in the form of a provision within Italy's 2021 Budget Law. An important and constant awareness campaign run by Assaeroporti and various management companies saw the precious contribution of local and national institutions, who were able to bring the necessary requests to the attention of the Government. Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna S.p.A. 4 This document is a courtesy translation from Italian into English. In case of any inconsistency between the two versions, the Italian original version shall prevail The Group is managing this crisis as carefully and responsibly as it can. Current and future actions, as discussed in detail below, together with the Group's solidity, will allow us to recommence operations with a renewed sense of strength, when the crisis is finally behind us. I extend my thanks to all our Group’s employees who have performed their respective duties at every level of the company and have thus contributed to tackling the enormous challenge that the pandemic has set in our path with resilience, energy, and skill. To conclude, the financial statements of the company Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna Spa, which we present for your approval, report a loss of Euro 13,963,340.73, which the Board of Directors proposes to carry forward.

  • Iosa Ghini Associati Client: Marconi Express Spa
    People Mover Concept and architectural design: Iosa Ghini Associati Client: Marconi Express Spa The People Mover designed for the city of Bologna is a transport system that is innovative in terms of technology, the regulation of circulation and architectural features. The infrastructure, with a total length of 5084 metres, is composed of a monorail, with two terminals – at the airport and the train station – and the intermediate stop of Lazzaretto, about halfway along the route, where the cars cross. The stop includes the depot and workshop, as well as the centralized control station. The stops and the bridge over the ring-road/motorway system were designed based on a type of architecture that takes into account the need to connect an infrastructure to an urban fabric that will undergo major redevelopment work, but that is partially absorbed by the outlying countryside. Its stops are set in different contexts in terms of both architectural structure and urban fabric. The stops are connected to each other via a route with a walkway running along the track, serving as a passenger escape route in case of emergency. The project emerges as an opportunity to create a long and environmentally friendly ‘belt’ with photovoltaic panels and green areas. Its design and form permit the installation of photovoltaic panels on the southwest side, thus maximizing energy performance, whereas to the north glazed panels serve as balustrades to give the entire line a sense of transparency and lightness. The architecture of the route and the individual stops meshes with the urban setting, using elements that create transparency and lightness, and conveying the idea of motion while also taking up traditional forms.

  • Bologna, Inaugurato Il Marconi Express Realizzato in Project financing Dal Consorzio Integra Di AL
    Urbanistica 19 Novembre 2020 Bologna, inaugurato il Marconi Express realizzato in project financing dal Consorzio Integra di AL. Le. In breve Il people mover è la prima monorotaia in Italia a connettere la rete dell'Alta velocità ferroviaria con uno dei primi 10 aeroporti nazionali per traffico di passeggeri Un esempio "vincente" di project financing che arriva al traguardo dell'inaugurazione. Con la prima corsa delle ore 5.40 ha aperto al pubblico il Marconi Express, il collegamento veloce tra la stazione FS di Bologna e l'aeroporto Marconi, gestito dalla società Marconi Express Spa. A guida completamente automatica, con oltre un terzo del fabbisogno energetico fornito da pannelli fotovoltaici, il people mover di Bologna è la prima monorotaia in Italia a connettere la rete dell'Alta velocità ferroviaria con uno dei primi 10 aeroporti nazionali per traffico di passeggeri. Il servizio è operativo sette giorni su sette, 365 giorni all'anno, dalle ore 5.40 alle 24. «Finalmente ci siamo – dice la presidente di Marconi Express Spa, Rita Finzi –. Con il Marconi Express Bologna guadagna un nuovo importante tassello che aumenta l'attrattività del territorio e che sarà strategico per il rilancio dell'economia e del turismo. Ci confortano le notizie a proposito dello sviluppo di vaccini per arginare il coronavirus, pertanto è fondamentale farsi trovare pronti per quando risalirà il numero dei viaggiatori in transito per l'aeroporto». In questa fase di emergenza sanitaria, l'utenza del Marconi Express sarà costituita dai passeggeri dei voli dell'aeroporto Marconi che viaggiano per comprovate esigenze di lavoro, salute, studio o necessità, dai lavoratori dell'area aeroportuale (reparti operativi, forze dell'ordine, servizi, personale di terra e di bordo delle compagnie aeree) e da residenti e lavoratori del quartiere Lazzaretto.
