The total income from ancillary fees and the fee for assisting people with disabilities and with reduced mobility is presented as revenue in the consolidated financial statements under the item “Ancillary fees”. The fees amounted to €106 million in 2021 (€83 million in 2020). Setting of airport fees PROCEDURE FOR THE ANNUAL SETTING OF RATES Aéroports de Paris consults with the users of the airport infrastructure via the economic advisory committees of Paris Charles de Gaulle and Paris-Orly airports, on the one hand, and Paris-Le Bourget airport, on the other, at least four months before the beginning of each pricing period. Composed of representatives of aeronautical users, professional air transport organisations and representatives of Aéroports de Paris, the two economic advisory committees are tasked with providing a simple opinion on the airport operator’s price change proposals and on its investment programme for the pricing period in question. Aéroports de Paris then notifies the Transport Regulatory Authority for approval and informs the minister responsible for transport and the General Directorate for Competition Policy, Consumer Affairs and Fraud Control of the proposed fee rates and, where applicable, any adjustments thereto. Fees subject to approval are published at least two months before the start of the pricing period. They are approved unless this is opposed by the Transport Regulatory Authority (to which the French authority for competition, consumer affairs and consumer protection submits a reasoned opinion), within one month of receipt of the notification. In the event of opposition, Aéroports de Paris has the option, within one month from the notification of opposition from the Transport Regulatory Authority, to submit a new proposal. The Transport Regulatory Authority then has twenty-one days to approve the operator’s new proposal or again to refuse its approval. In the latter case, the fee rates and their adjustments previously in force remain applicable. If the last approval is more than twenty-four months old, the Transport Regulatory Authority is competent to set the rates of fees and their adjustments. Regulatory framework applicable in the absence of an Economic Regulation Agreement The economic regulation of airport fees is governed by the French Transport Code and the French Civil Aviation Code. The applicable provisions provide for the possibility for the State and the aerodrome operator to conclude an Economic Regulation Agreement. However, this is not an obligation. Under an Economic Regulation Agreement, rates are subject to compliance with three ceilings: ◆ the price ceiling defined by the ERA price equation 2 : CPI 3 + x % + negotiated adjustment factors; ◆ a second ceiling defined by the adequacy of revenues to the costs of services rendered (“coverage rate”); ◆ a third ceiling defined by the profitability of the regulated scope. In the absence of an Economic Regulation Agreement, only the second and third ceilings apply.
◆ the landing fee is received in return for the use by an aircraft of the airport infrastructure and equipment necessary for landing, take-off and taxiing. They are calculated according to the certified maximum take-off weight of the aircraft and adjusted according to the aircraft’s noise-rating classification and the nocturnal or daytime landing timetable. Revenue from landing fees was €147 million in 2021 compared to €119 million in 2020; ◆ the parking fee depends on the duration of the parking, the maximum certified take-off weight of the aircraft and the characteristics of the parking area: area in contact with a terminal, remote area or parking area. Revenue from parking fees amounted to €107 million in 2021 compared with €84 million in 2020. The landing fee, parking fee and passenger fee are presented in the consolidated financial statements as revenue under the item “Airport fees” 1 . The income from airport fees for 2021 stood at €527 million (€421 million in 2020). Ancillary fees The ancillary fees are as follows: ◆ the fee for providing check-in counters, boarding facilities, and local baggage handling facilities comprises a fixed portion, based on the number of counters used, and a variable portion based on the number of non-connecting passengers checked in, and which varies according to the type of destination. Income from this fee amounted to €37 million in 2021; ◆ the fee for providing connecting baggage sorting facilities is based on the number of connecting passengers. Income from this fee amounted to €19 million in 2021; ◆ the fee for providing aircraft de-icing infrastructure varies according to the size of the aircraft and is made up of a fixed portion based on the number of landings made over the season in question, and a variable portion based on the number of de-icing operations. This fee is collected at Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport where the de-icing system is a centralised infrastructure, but not at Paris-Orly airport where the activity is provided by air carriers via, where applicable, their ground handling service providers. Income from this fee amounted to €12 million in 2021; ◆ the fee for the provision of electrical power infrastructure for aircraft is based on the electrical power supply to the parking stand (400 Hz or 50 Hz), and the energy requirement category of the aircraft, depending on its technical equipment (number of sockets). Income from this fee amounted to €7 million in 2021; ◆ the increase in the fee for assistance to people with disabilities and reduced mobility (PHMR) of Paris-Orly and Paris-Charles de Gaulle is capped by the cost of the service, in application of Regulation (EC) No. 1107/2006 of 5 July 2006 concerning the rights of disabled people and people with reduced mobility when travelling by air. The income from this fee amounted to €25 million in 2021.
