Specifications Aéroports de Paris’ specifications set out Aéroports de Paris’ specific public service obligations. In particular, it defines the relationships between Aéroports de Paris and the various third parties at the Group’s airports: passengers, the public, air carriers, aircraft operators, the government and its institutions and services. With regard to this, Aéroports de Paris: ◆ assigns air carriers to terminals at a given airport and may assign air carriers between airports, after the air carrier has expressed an opinion and, in the case of a change of airport, the Minister in charge of Civil Aviation has given his/her assent; ◆ provides for access to and movement within airports, the reception of certain categories of passengers, the organisation of emergency services including a permanent medical team, the dissemination of useful information to passengers and the public, and the conducting of passenger surveys. In the event of significant delays or disruption to traffic, Aéroports de Paris must deploy the resources required to provide assistance to passengers; ◆ manages airports so that the needs of airlines, their ground-handling service providers and Government authority services, within premises and facilities that are directly necessary for their activities, may be met within a reasonable timeframe. Aéroports de Paris establishes the operating rules for facilities and airport opening hours; ◆ in addition to services to government administrations, supplies the provider of aircraft navigation services with specific services, in line with the agreed terms and set out in appendix 1; ◆ is responsible for the checking of runways and taxiways, traction control and runway skid rating measurements and, under certain conditions, the regulation of aircraft movements within traffic areas; ◆ appoints qualified employees to enforce rules regarding the policing of airports and parking at airports, and also takes the appropriate measures to enhance security, whether this involves lighting or video surveillance; ◆ ensures, at the request of the minister responsible for Health, the application of certain health regulations, and provides, under the same conditions, appropriate information for passengers going to or coming from geographical regions temporarily affected by an epidemic; ◆ ensures the application of environmental regulations and is responsible, in this capacity, for the measurement of noise and measurements relating to atmospheric pollutants, rainwater run-off and wastewater; ◆ issues authorisation for activity at airports to ground-handling service providers, air carriers that handle their own ground handling, and other companies engaged in industrial, commercial or craft activity. The specifications enable the Government authorities to be informed about the Company’s economic and financial situation, in order in particular to monitor the implementation of the Economic Regulation Agreement. The government authorities also monitor the Company’s use of the land and buildings it owns, in order to ensure the satisfactory fulfilment of the public service obligations assigned to it 3 .
Lastly, there is a protected area around the airports, within which building restrictions apply, laid down in particular by noise exposure plans designed to limit over time the number of local residents affected by noise pollution through the institution of town planning oversight 1 . Airport safety legislation Aéroports de Paris holds the airport safety certificates required to operate Paris-Charles de Gaulle, Paris-Orly and Paris-Le Bourget airports. The Company is required to provide an animal hazard prevention service aimed at adopting the appropriate measures to avoid collisions between aircraft and animals, including birds. It is also required to provide an aircraft rescue and fire-fighting service. Allocation of take-off and landing slots A slot refers to the authorisation to use airport infrastructure on a specific date and at a specific time for the purpose of take-off and landing. Slots are not attached to routes but to carriers, and are allocated free of charge. A coordinator is responsible for allocating slots in line with the following rules: all slots allocated to a carrier for an aviation season are automatically reallocated to that carrier if they have been used for at least 80% of the period for which they were allocated (the “use-it-or-lose-it”) rule and if the carrier requests them again for the following equivalent season. Slots that remain available (returned by carriers or newly created), are placed in a pool, with half being allocated to new entrants and half to carriers already present at the airport. For Paris-Orly and Paris-Charles de Gaulle airports, which are described as “coordinated” airports, the co-ordinator is COHOR, the Association pour la Coordination des Horaires (Timetable Coordination Association), whose members are Aigle Azur, Air Caraïbes, Air France, Air Corsica, Corsair International, ASL Airlines France, Hop!, Openskies, Transavia, XL Airways France, Aéroports de Paris, Aéroports de Lyon and Côte d’Azur airport. The association is financed by a fee for the service provided for co-ordination and facilitation of time slots, which is paid for each landing in equal proportions by the airfield operator and the aircraft operator concerned. The portion incumbent upon the aircraft operator is collected by the airfield operator on behalf of the association. The rates for this fee, as of 1 April 2018 are set as follows: At Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport the number of time slots available for each aviation season is set by order of the Minister of Transport, in line with the capacity of the runway and terminal system. Overall aircraft activity is regulated by a weighted measured global indicator (WMGI), as the sound energy emitted annually at the airport should not exceed the average energy recorded over the period 1999-2000-2001. Activity at Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport is also subject to limitations between 12:30 am and 5:29 am for arrivals and between 12:00 am and 4:59 am for departures, and night-time slots lost are not re-allocated. At Paris-Orly airport, the total number of time slots is capped at 250,000 per year, around 33,000 of which are reserved for regional development or public service lines. The airport is subject to a daily night-time curfew between 11:30 pm and 6:00 am. ◆ €2.10 per landing for the aircraft operator; ◆ €2.10 per landing for the airport operator 2 .
