Annual Report 2009<br />

In 2009 at <strong>Aeropuertos</strong> <strong>Español<strong>es</strong></strong> y <strong>Navegación</strong><br />

<strong>Aérea</strong> (<strong>Aena</strong>) the strategic priority was to contend<br />

with the fi nancial crisis by maintaining the high<strong>es</strong>t<br />

levels of safety and quality, reducing costs and being<br />

more competitive, and to do all this in a sustainable<br />

manner in order to make the development of air<br />

transport compatible with environmental protection.<br />

Therefore, since last year we have been<br />

implementing a policy of cost reduction and<br />

productivity improvement conceived to permit us to<br />

ensure <strong>Aena</strong>’s economic-fi nancial viability without<br />

constituting en economic burden on the State or<br />

the tax-payer. Some of th<strong>es</strong>e measur<strong>es</strong>, <strong>es</strong>pecially<br />

those concerning the air control service, have begun<br />

to be implemented in 2010 and we will provide a<br />

full account of them in next year’s annual report.<br />

Here, I would merely like to point out that Law<br />

9/2010 entails a thorough structural reform of our<br />

air navigation servic<strong>es</strong>, which will enable us to lower<br />

en-route charg<strong>es</strong> by 15% and eliminate the defi cit of<br />

approach charg<strong>es</strong> within two years.


As regards the policy of savings in costs, the fi rst<br />

measur<strong>es</strong> implemented in 2009 allowed us to reduce<br />

expens<strong>es</strong> by 95 million euros. Savings will be multiplied<br />

in the coming years as a r<strong>es</strong>ult of the Austerity Plan for<br />

2010-2013, whereby we project a cost reduction of 750<br />

million euros.<br />

Another one of the prioriti<strong>es</strong> we set in 2009 was defi ning<br />

a new airport management model that will enable us<br />

to carry out more effective management by providing<br />

servic<strong>es</strong> that are more effi cient from an economic<br />

standpoint, and more suited to the territorial structure of<br />

our country. In 2010 important progr<strong>es</strong>s has also been<br />

made along th<strong>es</strong>e lin<strong>es</strong>, and it will be materialized in a<br />

law regulating the modernization of the airport industry.<br />

Increasing the capacity of airport faciliti<strong>es</strong> to adapt them<br />

to demands, while maintaining the high<strong>es</strong>t levels of<br />

safety and quality, and making sure that the airports<br />

contribute to the economic development of the country,<br />

was another of our prioriti<strong>es</strong> in 2009 and it will continue<br />

to be so in the future.<br />

Institutional Information<br />

Letter from the Chairman<br />

All th<strong>es</strong>e activiti<strong>es</strong> are conducted with a will to achieve<br />

environmental sustainability, making air transport<br />

compatible with environmental protection through<br />

measur<strong>es</strong> d<strong>es</strong>igned to reduce noise for populations in<br />

the vicinity of the airports, decrease green-house gas<br />

emissions and foster energy effi ciency and the use of<br />

renewable energy technologi<strong>es</strong>.<br />

Infrastructur<strong>es</strong><br />

CRITERIA FOR AENA<br />

DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS<br />

During 2009 <strong>Aena</strong> carried on with its inv<strong>es</strong>tment<br />

effort given its decided belief in the need to create<br />

and develop airport infrastructur<strong>es</strong>, adopting<br />

the measur<strong>es</strong> nec<strong>es</strong>sary for expanding, modernizing<br />

and upgrading the airport faciliti<strong>es</strong> in order to<br />

adapt the capacity and servic<strong>es</strong> available to the demands<br />

on air transport.<br />

To this end, the Directorate of Infrastructur<strong>es</strong>, in<br />

keeping with the applicable rul<strong>es</strong> and guidelin<strong>es</strong>,<br />

draws up the projects and overse<strong>es</strong> the construction<br />

of the nec<strong>es</strong>sary faciliti<strong>es</strong>, thus contributing to the<br />

improvement of quality, increasing environmental<br />

sustainability, maintaining high levels of safety<br />

and prevention of workplace risks, all this within a<br />

framework of technical and economic effi ciency.<br />

The way the abovementioned criteria are applied<br />

in <strong>Aena</strong>’s development projects is explained below:<br />

Safety and prevention, In both the d<strong>es</strong>ign and<br />

construction phas<strong>es</strong> of the development projects<br />

the conditions related to workplace risk prevention<br />

have been continually improved in order to<br />

minimize workplace accidents, including in the<br />

specifi cations the preventative criteria required<br />

by <strong>Aena</strong> and by the legislation in force in this<br />

regard on minimum provisions in security and<br />

health-related matters at the construction sit<strong>es</strong>.<br />

Quality assurance, Overseeing, coordinating,<br />

supervising and directing the activiti<strong>es</strong><br />

related to the development and monitoring<br />

of the Quality Management System, in addition<br />

to conducting activiti<strong>es</strong> related to the<br />

technical audits of the construction work executed<br />

by the Directorate of Infrastructur<strong>es</strong>.<br />

Annual report 2009<br />

Infrastructur<strong>es</strong><br />

through the directorat<strong>es</strong> of the corr<strong>es</strong>ponding<br />

project fi l<strong>es</strong>.<br />

Environment, Directing and managing the different<br />

environmental activiti<strong>es</strong> derived from the<br />

execution of development projects, coordinating<br />

the actions nec<strong>es</strong>sary for carrying out different<br />

studi<strong>es</strong>, projects and reports that are <strong>es</strong>tablished<br />

in the corr<strong>es</strong>ponding environmental impact<br />

statements required by contract, performing<br />

environmental monitoring and control from<br />

the d<strong>es</strong>ign phase until the completion of construction<br />

and collaborating, at all tim<strong>es</strong>, in the<br />

preparation and proc<strong>es</strong>sing of environmental<br />

impact studi<strong>es</strong> for the development projects assigned<br />

to the Directorate of Infrastructur<strong>es</strong>,<br />

«In 2009 <strong>Aena</strong> continued<br />

its inv<strong>es</strong>tment effort to<br />

adapt the capaciti<strong>es</strong> and<br />

servic<strong>es</strong> of the airports<br />

to the demands of air<br />

transport»<br />

Moreover, given the dimension, complexity, inv<strong>es</strong>tment<br />

in and saturation of the existing faciliti<strong>es</strong>,<br />

through the special master plans for the airports<br />

(Barcelona Plan, Levante Plan and Malaga Plan,<br />

which are the units in charge of developing and<br />

executing the faciliti<strong>es</strong> for the expansion of the airports<br />

of Barcelona, Alicante-Valencia and Malaga,<br />

r<strong>es</strong>pectively) <strong>Aena</strong> has continued their development,<br />

progr<strong>es</strong>sing in the projects and executing<br />

the programmed construction in order to modernize<br />

and upgrade the faciliti<strong>es</strong> to enable meeting<br />

demands, as well as contributing to the improvement<br />

of the image of the airports as they are perceived<br />

by users and society at large.


Barcelona Plan<br />

Progr<strong>es</strong>s continued to be made on the projected<br />

actions, with the conclusion of construction work in<br />

the new terminal area, and that corr<strong>es</strong>ponding to the<br />

expansions and upgrading of the car parks, cargo area<br />

and service area of the new Terminal 1, The most signifi<br />

cant construction under way includ<strong>es</strong> building the<br />

south Control Tower, the east aircraft apron, the road<br />

connecting the terminals and expanding the general<br />

car park.<br />

«Terminal 1 of Barcelona<br />

Airport went into service on<br />

June 17th, 2009»<br />

However, the most signifi cant event as regards the actions<br />

encompassed in the Barcelona Plan was that which<br />

took place on June 17, the opening of Barcelona Airport’s<br />

Terminal 1, which was inaugurated the previous day.<br />

Levante Plan<br />

The Levante Plan pertains to the airports of Alicante<br />

and Valencia, and during 2009 the following were the<br />

most signifi cant actions carried out:<br />

founded on th<strong>es</strong>e two main guidelin<strong>es</strong>.<br />

The functions entrusted to the Directorate of Air<br />

Navigation are defi ned by <strong>Aena</strong>’s articl<strong>es</strong> of association<br />

and they are as follows:<br />

Ordering, directing, coordinating, operating,<br />

managing and administering the servic<strong>es</strong> of<br />

air traffi c, communications and aeronautical<br />

information, in addition to the infrastructur<strong>es</strong>,<br />

faciliti<strong>es</strong> and communications networks of<br />

the air navigation system.<br />

Drafting and approving projects, and executing<br />

and controlling inv<strong>es</strong>tments.<br />

Evaluating needs and proposals for new infrastructur<strong>es</strong>.<br />

Participating in aeronautical education.<br />

The Directorate of Air Navigation plays a very active<br />

role in the diverse international programm<strong>es</strong><br />

d<strong>es</strong>igned to standardize systems and unify airspac<strong>es</strong>,<br />

Particularly noteworthy are its participation in<br />

the European Single Sky Programme and its involvement<br />

in the European Region and the Canary Islands-South<br />

America corridor, As regards the Single<br />

European Sky, the Directorate is certifi ed as a<br />

provider of air navigation servic<strong>es</strong> in the airspace<br />

of national sovereignty and the internationally delegated<br />

airspac<strong>es</strong>.<br />

Annual report 2009<br />

Air navigation<br />

Th<strong>es</strong>e servic<strong>es</strong> are provided through fi ve regional<br />

air navigation directorat<strong>es</strong>: Central-northern, Eastern,<br />

Canarian, Southern and Balearic, and their<br />

headquarters are r<strong>es</strong>pectively located in Madrid-<br />

Torrejon, Barcelona-Gava, Gran Canaria-Telde, Seville-San<br />

Pablo and Palma de Mallorca-Son Sant<br />

Joan.<br />

«In the FIR Peninsula 1,75<br />

million operations were<br />

recorded and in the FIR/<br />

ACC Canary Islands, there<br />

were more than 280,000,»<br />

The trends in air traffi c are demonstrated in the<br />

statistical data on the level of demand, which refer<br />

to the volume of air movements managed<br />

by the regional directorat<strong>es</strong>, and taking into account<br />

the fact that a unitary fl ight may give rise<br />

to various movements as it cross<strong>es</strong> the different<br />

divisions of the Spanish airspace, In 2009 lower<br />

demands led to an 8,74% reduction, with r<strong>es</strong>pect<br />

to 2008, as regards movements in the peninsular<br />

airspace (which includ<strong>es</strong> the Balearic region), There<br />

were a total of 1,756,942 movements, whereas<br />

in the Canarian airspace there was a reduction of<br />

13,43%, with a total of 282,495 movements.


2, PROGRAMMES AND<br />

ACTIONS<br />

2,1 QUALITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL<br />

MANAGEMENT SYSTEM<br />

The Directorate of Air Navigation banks on a decided<br />

commitment to quality assurance, making this a main<br />

feature of its operating plan, A priority objective of<br />

<strong>Aena</strong>’s quality plan is to maintain the Quality Management<br />

System (QMS) of the Directorate of Air Navigation<br />

in accordance with the UNE-EN-ISO 9001:2000<br />

standards and the environmental management system<br />

(EMS) in accordance with the UNE-EN-ISO 14001:2004<br />

standards, Therefore, the main actions carried out in<br />

2009 consisted in:<br />

Implementation of the Environmental Management<br />

System (EMS) in accordance with the<br />

UNE-EN-ISO 14001:2004 standards, The Balearic<br />

DNRA obtained certifi cation as a r<strong>es</strong>ult of the audit<br />

completed by Aenor in December of 2008 (the<br />

certifi cate was issued in 2009), Similarly, the certifi<br />

cat<strong>es</strong> of the Eastern Region, Canarian Region,<br />

Central-Northern Region and Southern Region<br />

and Central Air Navigation Servic<strong>es</strong> were renewed.<br />

The Directorate of Quality, Safety and Certifi cation<br />

of Air Navigation completed the development phase<br />

and began implementing the plan for integrating<br />

the Directorate of Air Navigation’s management,<br />

quality, safety and security systems.<br />

The objective of this plan is to ensure effective administration<br />

of the management systems, making them<br />

compatible with each other so that the DNA can <strong>es</strong>tablish<br />

aligned objectiv<strong>es</strong>, with an overall view of them,<br />

and facilitate decision-making in the realms of quality,<br />

environment, safety and security.<br />

2,2 SAFETY MANAGEMENT<br />

SYSTEM (SMS)<br />

Need for the ANSMS<br />

The safety of air traffi c constitut<strong>es</strong> a key commitment<br />

for the national and international organizations in<br />

charge of regulating and managing the air navigation<br />

system as a whole, and it is the air navigation service’s<br />

reason for being, Therefore, the Air Navigation Safety<br />

Management System (ANSMS) developed by <strong>Aena</strong><br />

through the DNA compli<strong>es</strong> with the set of common requirements<br />

<strong>es</strong>tablished by the European Commission<br />

and the Spanish Aeronautical Authority (DGAC) and,<br />

specifi cally, it is founded on the following principl<strong>es</strong>:<br />

To grant the high<strong>es</strong>t priority to safety in the provision<br />

of air navigation servic<strong>es</strong>, over and above any<br />

other fi nancial, operational, social or environmental<br />

criterion.<br />

To succeed in minimizing the air navigation<br />

system’s contribution to risk situations.<br />

To ensure a formal, explicit and proactive approach<br />

to systematic safety management.<br />

SAFETY<br />

The Safety Management System having been put in place<br />

in 2006 in compliance with the requirements <strong>es</strong>tablished<br />

in the standards for the provision of air navigation servic<strong>es</strong><br />

(EC no, 550/2004) and the ministerial order of the<br />

DGAC on March 16th, 2006 regarding the attainment of<br />

certifi cation for providers of civil air navigation servic<strong>es</strong> in<br />

accordance with the European Single Sky rul<strong>es</strong>, over the<br />

course of 2009 the following progr<strong>es</strong>s was made concerning<br />

safety:<br />

Important progr<strong>es</strong>s was made pertaining to training,<br />

as the CBT safety course was given to 1,212<br />

students, Diverse manuals on this subject are<br />

General information<br />

Air navigation<br />

being produced and updated: drafting of the<br />

document on good practic<strong>es</strong> regarding safety<br />

information, revision of the manual on the<br />

emergency plan and drafting of the AN protocol<br />

to put in place in the event that a serious<br />

accident or incident should occur.<br />

To improve the means of raising awaren<strong>es</strong>s<br />

about safety, a new magazine was published,<br />

+Seguridad en <strong>Navegación</strong> <strong>Aérea</strong> (More Security<br />

in Air Navigation), of which there were<br />

two editions made in 2009, A safety website<br />

was also developed, and its addr<strong>es</strong>s is http://<br />

safety,lean,na,aena,<strong>es</strong>/, It can be visited directly<br />

or through Internav (Air Navigation’s intranet).<br />

With regard to handling and ass<strong>es</strong>sment of<br />

safety incidents, the total number of internal<br />

notifications increased, The risk ass<strong>es</strong>sment and<br />

mitigation proc<strong>es</strong>s is virtually consolidated, as<br />

the proper documentation for expediting it has<br />

been produced and the new coordination mechanisms<br />

have been <strong>es</strong>tablished.<br />

SECURITY<br />

Among the Directorate of Air Navigation’s main<br />

missions is to ensure the protection of people, faciliti<strong>es</strong>,<br />

technical means and data pertaining to AN,<br />

Therefore, the following steps were taken to improve<br />

the proc<strong>es</strong>s<strong>es</strong> of security management:<br />

Human R<strong>es</strong>ourc<strong>es</strong> for security were optimized<br />

by installing security systems that reduce expens<strong>es</strong><br />

of security personnel without jeopardizing<br />

the faciliti<strong>es</strong>, Specifically, in 2009 reductions<br />

included: 1H9 in Menorca, 1H24 in Gran<br />

Canaria, 1H24 in Radar MGA of Malaga and<br />

2H24 in the Southern Region ACC and C,R, el<br />

Judio.<br />

Organization and management of the airspace<br />

The Directorate of Air Navigation is committed to<br />

reaching maximum levels of quality in the servic<strong>es</strong> it<br />

provid<strong>es</strong> by continually improving the effi cacy of the<br />

servic<strong>es</strong> rendered and the effi ciency of the system, As<br />

regards operations, the servic<strong>es</strong> provided are: organization<br />

and management of the airspace, management<br />

of the capacity-demand and control of air transit and<br />

aeronautical information.<br />

In order to increase effi ciency, its objective is to reduce<br />

delays caused by the Spanish air transit management<br />

system, improve performance with r<strong>es</strong>pect to the<br />

number of operations in highly demanded periods and<br />

tim<strong>es</strong>, in addition to offering the possibility of selecting<br />

preferred rout<strong>es</strong> and optimizing the management of<br />

traffi c capacity and fl ow by meeting the requirements<br />

of users’ real-time operation.<br />

«Servic<strong>es</strong> are rendered<br />

through five regional<br />

directorat<strong>es</strong> whose<br />

headquarters are located in<br />

Madrid-Torrejon, Barcelona-<br />

Gava, Gran Canaria-Telde,<br />

Seville-San Pablo and Palma<br />

de Mallorca-Son Sant Joan»


The strategic chang<strong>es</strong> addr<strong>es</strong>sed in 2009, defi ned in the<br />

ATM action plan, are the following:<br />

In the organization and management of the airspace:<br />

the latter will be structured and managed<br />

regardl<strong>es</strong>s of internal and external organizational<br />

borders, The ATC sectors will be d<strong>es</strong>igned according<br />

to demands in air traffi c fl ows, without the<br />

organizational borders entailing limitations in the<br />

attainment of the b<strong>es</strong>t solutions.<br />

The route d<strong>es</strong>ign and network will be optimized:<br />

the network of rout<strong>es</strong> will be d<strong>es</strong>igned according<br />

to users’ preferenc<strong>es</strong>, and procedur<strong>es</strong> for<br />

facilitating alternativ<strong>es</strong> will also be developed.<br />

ATC will be optimized through the development<br />

and dynamic application of ATC sector-position<br />

confi gurations in r<strong>es</strong>ponse to different operating<br />

scenarios.<br />

General information<br />

Air navigation<br />

Availability of use of the entire airspace: the airspace<br />

will be treated as a continuous r<strong>es</strong>ource available<br />

The development and implementation of the SE-<br />

SAR programme is being carried out progr<strong>es</strong>sively<br />

and it is divided into three phas<strong>es</strong>:<br />

Defi nition phase (2006-2008)<br />

The main objective during this phase is drafting a European<br />

ATM (air traffi c management) master plan,<br />

This is undertaken by a consortium hired by Eurocontrol<br />

(which funds it in conjunction with the European<br />

Commission) in which the most relevant compani<strong>es</strong> and<br />

organizations in the European air transport industry are<br />

repr<strong>es</strong>ented: airlin<strong>es</strong> (Lufthansa, Iberia, Air France,,,),<br />

manufacturers (Airbus, Thal<strong>es</strong>, Indra,,,), airports (<strong>Aena</strong>,<br />

BAA, Fraport, Schipol,,,) and air navigation service providers<br />

(<strong>Aena</strong>, DFS, NATS, ENAV, DSNA,,,).<br />

Development phase (2008-2014)<br />

During this phase the r<strong>es</strong>earch, development and validation<br />

tasks stipulated in the ATM master plan will be<br />

carried out, All the activiti<strong>es</strong> at this stage will be coordinated<br />

and funded by the SESAR Joint Undertaking<br />

(SJU), ultimately r<strong>es</strong>ponsible for the identifi cation and<br />

development of the future European ATM system.<br />

radioelectric signals generated in ground faciliti<strong>es</strong><br />

and received airborne, which permit the instrumental<br />

fl ight of aeroplan<strong>es</strong> without the need for visual<br />

referenc<strong>es</strong>, The navigation systems support instrumental<br />

fl ight, which consists of the following stag<strong>es</strong>:<br />

departure, en-route, arrival, approach and landing,<br />

Each one of th<strong>es</strong>e stag<strong>es</strong> has standard procedur<strong>es</strong><br />

and its associated radio-aids, published in the aeronautical<br />

navigation charts, The main activiti<strong>es</strong> conducted<br />

COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY<br />

The Directorate of Commercial Space and Servic<strong>es</strong><br />

has a double mission “to optimize the contribution<br />

of sal<strong>es</strong> revenu<strong>es</strong> in <strong>Aena</strong>’s overall profi t and loss statement,<br />

and simultaneously meet passengers’ needs<br />

and demands in terms of quality”, Greater generation<br />

of busin<strong>es</strong>s r<strong>es</strong>ourc<strong>es</strong> is a means of fi nancing<br />

the inv<strong>es</strong>tments for<strong>es</strong>een by <strong>Aena</strong>, always in terms<br />

of effi ciency and effi cacy, by improving the profi tability<br />

of the airport busin<strong>es</strong>s in order to maintain the<br />

competitiven<strong>es</strong>s of aeronautical fe<strong>es</strong>.<br />

<strong>Aena</strong>’s sal<strong>es</strong> revenu<strong>es</strong> in 2009 amounted to 572,23<br />

million euros (-5,7% in comparison to the previous<br />

year, basically because of the overall effect of the<br />

ongoing economic rec<strong>es</strong>sion and the fall in passenger<br />

traffi c), The ratio of sal<strong>es</strong> revenue per passenger<br />

was 3,08 euros, which repr<strong>es</strong>ented a 2,52% increase<br />

over the previous year.<br />

The main busin<strong>es</strong>s lin<strong>es</strong> at our airports, which contribute<br />

to accomplishing the double mission mentioned<br />

above, are: car parks, shops and duty-free shops,<br />

car hire, food outlets, managing land (rentals), advertising,<br />

fuel and busin<strong>es</strong>s operations.<br />

Our array of retail conc<strong>es</strong>sionair<strong>es</strong> compris<strong>es</strong> more<br />

than one hundred shops, including pr<strong>es</strong>tigious local<br />

and international compani<strong>es</strong> and brands, such as Aldeasa,<br />

Canariensis, Áreas, Dufry, Relay (SGEL), Zara,<br />

Mango, Mássimo Dutti, Becara, Adolfo Domínguez,<br />

D<strong>es</strong>igual, Ferrari, Puma, Carolina Herrera, Rolex,<br />

Chocolat Factory, Picuadro, Imaginarium and Tous,<br />

among others, In accordance with the market studi<strong>es</strong><br />

conducted, we are introducing local brands and<br />

products, as a refl ection of the community the airport<br />

serv<strong>es</strong>, as is the case of the shop specialized in<br />

gifts and crafts in the T1 of Barcelona Airport, Thinking<br />

and won the “B<strong>es</strong>t specialized concept of the year”<br />

award granted by the Travel Retail industry.<br />

«<strong>Aena</strong> brought in 572 million<br />

euros in retail revenu<strong>es</strong>,»<br />

As for dining, there are international operators such<br />

as Áreas, SSP, Grupo VIPS, Autogrill, McDonald’s,<br />

Pansfood, etcetera, with standards on our premis<strong>es</strong><br />

in the airport such as McDonald’s, Burger King, Starbucks,<br />

Lizarrán, Subway, Häagen Dazs, Caffriccio,<br />

Ritazza, among others, At the Madrid-Barajas and<br />

Barcelona airports there is a noteworthy pr<strong>es</strong>ence<br />

of two spac<strong>es</strong> whose chefs have been awarded Michelin<br />

stars at the r<strong>es</strong>taurants “El Madroño” and “El<br />

Gaig”, r<strong>es</strong>pectively, This type of service will become<br />

increasingly consolidated in the years to come, as a<br />

r<strong>es</strong>ult of our banking on improving the quality of<br />

our offerings.<br />

The car hire service is provided by diverse operators<br />

that are also international, most notably Avis, Hertz,<br />

Europcar, and National At<strong>es</strong>a, The advertising activity<br />

is currently mainly allocated to the compani<strong>es</strong> JC<br />

Decaux and Publimedia.<br />

In addition to meeting the demands of passengers,<br />

the airport retail busin<strong>es</strong>s is d<strong>es</strong>igned for the entire<br />

airport population, including employe<strong>es</strong> and companions,<br />

For this reason the products and servic<strong>es</strong> on<br />

offer cover a broader and more varied range (supermarkets,<br />

beauty centr<strong>es</strong>, petrol stations and so on).<br />

With regard to the development of retail faciliti<strong>es</strong> a<br />

number of signifi cant actions have been taken:<br />

New Terminal 1 of Barcelona Airport began operating<br />

in June 2009, Approximately 26,000 m 2 of<br />

new retail fl oor space was opened: 8,427 m 2 for<br />

Busin<strong>es</strong>s Centre, 5 car hire outlets and a VIP car park.<br />

“The retail revenue ratio was<br />

3 euros per passenger”<br />

Remodelling of the shopping area of Fuerteventura<br />

Airport in April 2009: 11 new <strong>es</strong>tablishments in 2,000<br />

m 2 of new retail space.<br />

Remodelling of the shopping area (1st phase) of Ibiza<br />

Airport in May 2009: 8 new <strong>es</strong>tablishments in nearly<br />

1,000 m 2 of newly remodelled retail space.<br />

The construction work at Malaga Airport, for opening<br />

the New Passenger Terminal Building (T3), will provide<br />

it with a retail space with a potential for housing 29<br />

shops in an area amounting to 5,255 m 2 , and 21 food<br />

outlets in an area of 5,234 m 2 .<br />

The proc<strong>es</strong>s<strong>es</strong> and procedur<strong>es</strong> of controlling sal<strong>es</strong> revenu<strong>es</strong><br />

carried out by the airport managers have been redefi<br />

ned, This will enable improving the control and monitoring<br />

of commercial activity.<br />

Annual report 2009<br />

Several noteworthy promotional activiti<strong>es</strong> related to our<br />

brand “Las Tiendas del Aeropuerto” were carried out to<br />

support its management at the airports where it is <strong>es</strong>tablished<br />

and as a means to encourage buying in our retail<br />

spac<strong>es</strong>, Th<strong>es</strong>e projects, endeavoured in close collaboration<br />

with our retail conc<strong>es</strong>sionair<strong>es</strong>, include “Book Week”,<br />

“Green Bags” (Barcelona, Menorca, Saragossa and Tenerife<br />

Sur airports) and “Christmas Campaign” (at eleven airports:<br />

the seven wherein the brand is <strong>es</strong>tablished and also<br />

at the airports of Malaga, Alicante, Gran Canaria and<br />

Ibiza), In addition, and for the fi rst time, an inter<strong>es</strong>ting direct<br />

discount campaign was undertaken at eight airports<br />

through an action called “Two free Euros”.<br />

In the sphere of marketing land, the demand has been<br />

identifi ed and the marketable terrains of the airports have<br />

been inventoried, a key aspect for succ<strong>es</strong>s in marketing<br />

them in the b<strong>es</strong>t and most effi cient way.<br />

As far as busin<strong>es</strong>s know-how is concerned, training<br />

actions were offered throughout 2009 for different<br />

groups within the organization that belong to other key<br />

functional areas, and whose collaboration is relevant for<br />

the optimization of sal<strong>es</strong> revenu<strong>es</strong>,<br />

AENA INTERNACIONAL<br />

DESARROLLO S,A<br />

<strong>Aena</strong> Internacional conducts its activity as a leading<br />

Spanish company in the management of aeronautical<br />

faciliti<strong>es</strong> for a total of 28 airports, located<br />

throughout Latin America (Mexico, Colombia, Cuba<br />

and Bolivia), the European Union (the United Kingdom<br />

and Sweden) and the United Stat<strong>es</strong>.<br />

With a diversity of forms of ownership in its subsidiari<strong>es</strong>,<br />

from the conc<strong>es</strong>sion of airport faciliti<strong>es</strong><br />

or contracts for the management of terminals or<br />

servic<strong>es</strong>, to the ownership of assets, the common<br />

denominator of <strong>Aena</strong> Internacional’s contribution<br />

is the transfer of knowledge as a generator<br />

of value through the direct involvement of its executive<br />

offi cers in management and by providing<br />

quality technical aeronautical assistance servic<strong>es</strong>.<br />

The latter, whether as an operating partner in some<br />

cas<strong>es</strong>, or a mere service provider in others, are<br />

materialized through projects in which the primary<br />

valu<strong>es</strong> are safety, effi ciency and r<strong>es</strong>pect for<br />

the environment, the pillars upholding our management,<br />

which is recognized and highly <strong>es</strong>teemed<br />

by our partners, customers and related<br />

institutions.<br />

In 2009, as a consequence of the global fi nancial<br />

crisis and its repercussions in the transport industry,<br />

the level of activity of <strong>Aena</strong> Internacional<br />

subsidiari<strong>es</strong> was lower than that of 2008 because<br />

of the decline in passengers recorded mainly in<br />

Mexico and in the entirety of airports that make<br />

up TBI, Neverthel<strong>es</strong>s, <strong>Aena</strong> Internacional was able<br />

to conclude the year with a good performance<br />

yield, <strong>es</strong>pecially owing to the implementation of<br />

effi cient cost control strategi<strong>es</strong> and prudent inv<strong>es</strong>tment<br />

in its subsidiari<strong>es</strong>.<br />

Worthy of note in the aeronautical servic<strong>es</strong> area<br />

is the consolidation of the Galileo project offi -<br />

ce and full operation of the in-fl ight verifi cation<br />

unit that has satisfactorily rendered the servic<strong>es</strong><br />

of verifying the radio-aids of the <strong>Aena</strong> network<br />

throughout the year.<br />

«The airports of Grupo<br />

Aeroportuario del Pacífico<br />

have certificat<strong>es</strong> for<br />

acc<strong>es</strong>sibility, environmental<br />

compliance and quality,»<br />

Lastly, the renewal of the ISO 9001-2008 certifi<br />

cation for the activiti<strong>es</strong> we conduct is an<br />

endorsement of our efforts for continual improvement<br />

and, for our customers, it is a guarantee<br />

of our commitment to quality.<br />

carried out through the company <strong>Aeropuertos</strong> Mexicanos<br />

partner.<br />

GAP is listed on the Mexican and New York stock exchang<strong>es</strong><br />

and it is the larg<strong>es</strong>t private airport group in<br />

America.<br />

Airport Activity<br />

The group’s activity in 2009 involved a total of 19,2<br />

million passengers, which repr<strong>es</strong>ents a 13,3% decline<br />

with r<strong>es</strong>pect to 2008.<br />

This slowdown in airport activity in 2009 was primarily<br />

a consequence of the diffi cult worldwide economic<br />

scenario, which had <strong>es</strong>pecially signifi cant ramifi cations<br />

within the industry in Mexico and the United Stat<strong>es</strong><br />

(its main market abroad), the reorganization of the<br />

low-cost market and the defi nitive closure of several<br />

airlin<strong>es</strong>.<br />

«The Mexican authoriti<strong>es</strong>’<br />

approval of the Master<br />

a stable framework for<br />

management,»<br />

Operational activity decreased by 12,92%, in line with<br />

Annual report 2009<br />

the drop in traffi c, totalling 405,007 operations.<br />

As regards air cargo, which reached a total fi gure of<br />

126,278 tons, the rec<strong>es</strong>sion of the economy of the United<br />

Stat<strong>es</strong> was also felt since it is Mexico’s principal market.<br />

The main actions were related to the execution of the<br />

corr<strong>es</strong>ponding master plans for development, and<br />

additional inv<strong>es</strong>tment plans, making for an inv<strong>es</strong>tment<br />

of more than 420 million Mexican p<strong>es</strong>os in projects including<br />

the construction of private aviation terminals<br />

in Guadalajara and San Jose del Cabo.<br />

It is also important to highlight the accomplishment<br />

of attaining the approval of the Mexican authoriti<strong>es</strong><br />

of the 2010-2024 Master Plan (drawn up by <strong>Aena</strong> for<br />

the 12 airports of the group) and the associated inv<strong>es</strong>tments<br />

and fee regulation, which secur<strong>es</strong> a stable<br />

The management undertaken during 2009 has led to a<br />

to 2008, as a r<strong>es</strong>ult of the implementation of a wise<br />

marketing policy in seeking new rout<strong>es</strong> and new operators;<br />

and a 19,42% growth in dom<strong>es</strong>tic traffi c, basically<br />

brought about by the appearance of low-cost airlin<strong>es</strong>.

Passenger traffi c in 2009 grew by 8,34% boosted by<br />

the 14,8% increase in dom<strong>es</strong>tic traffi c following the<br />

introduction of low-cost airlin<strong>es</strong>.<br />

The increase in dom<strong>es</strong>tic traffi c attenuated the decrease<br />

in international traffi c r<strong>es</strong>ulting from the worldwide<br />

General information<br />

International Development<br />

The impact of the worldwide fi nancial crisis has r<strong>es</strong>ulted<br />

in a 7,7% decrease in passenger traffi c, mainly<br />

caused by the sharp decline in passengers at the airports<br />

of the United Kingdom, However, the strategy of<br />

curbing costs and inv<strong>es</strong>tments has served to mitigate<br />

the impact in the year-end r<strong>es</strong>ult.<br />

1. FINANCIAL<br />

RESULTS<br />

1.1. CONSOLIDATED PROFIT/LOSS<br />

Operating income in 2009, at more than 3,098 million<br />

euros, decreased by only 4% with r<strong>es</strong>pect to 2008 d<strong>es</strong>pite<br />

a decline in passenger traffi c and operations of<br />

more than 8% from 2008, mirroring the sharp downturn<br />

in air traffi c worldwide.<br />

The larg<strong>es</strong>t contributions to consolidated operating income<br />

came from the parent company <strong>Aena</strong>, (96%),<br />

and the company Ingeniería y Economía del Transporte<br />

S.A. (Ineco), which contributed 3%, in keeping with<br />

previous fi nancial years.<br />

Although operating costs grew at a rate of l<strong>es</strong>s than<br />

6%, due to the fall in traffi c and to high operating leverage,<br />

operating income fell.<br />

Financial loss was reduced by 20% in 2009, to<br />

283.3 million euros, owing to decreased financial<br />

costs derived from borrowing to make the inv<strong>es</strong>tments<br />

projected in the inv<strong>es</strong>tment plan for the financial<br />

year.<br />

Once the positive effect of income tax is accounted<br />

Annual report 2009<br />

moting cargo centr<strong>es</strong>, in addition to conducting activiti<strong>es</strong><br />

related to them, particularly at <strong>Aena</strong> network airports.<br />

Therefore, in 2006 Clasa’s Corporate Social R<strong>es</strong>ponsibility<br />

Policy was put into practice. It compris<strong>es</strong> the<br />

company’s objectiv<strong>es</strong>, commitments and obligations,<br />

as well as the guarante<strong>es</strong> that buildings are required<br />

to have with r<strong>es</strong>pect to occupational risk prevention,<br />

environmental protection, sustainable development,<br />

3.3. INTERNATIONAL<br />

In the international sphere, it is important to highlight visits<br />

and meetings with foreign delegations at our airports,<br />

from countri<strong>es</strong> such as the Netherlands, Brazil, South Korea,<br />

Egypt, Norway, Portugal and the United Kingdom, as<br />

well as <strong>Aena</strong>’s participation in ACI EUROPE’s 4th Airport Exchange<br />

Conference, and the meeting of the Majors group,<br />

both held in Barcelona, in addition to the meeting of the<br />

Community Observatory on Airport Capacity, in Madrid.<br />

In October 2009, <strong>Aena</strong> Chairman, Juan Ignacio Lema,<br />

was named member of the Governing Board of Airports<br />

Council International, ACI, while the director of<br />

Spanish Airports continued as member of the European<br />

Board of ACI Europe.<br />

The Directorate of Spanish Airports continued its collaboration<br />

with the Directorate of Air Navigation in the<br />

S<strong>es</strong>ar programme. <strong>Aena</strong> was d<strong>es</strong>ignated to lead the<br />

management of the so-called Airport Operations WP6<br />

and the Directorate of Spanish Airports contribut<strong>es</strong> by<br />

participating in 13 projects.<br />

Similarly of note is the attendance at and participation<br />

in the 38th and 39th meetings of ACI Europe’s Environmental<br />

Strategy Committee meetings held during<br />

the months of April and October 2009, r<strong>es</strong>pectively.<br />

In the sphere of the Directorate of Air Navigation the<br />

following activiti<strong>es</strong> are most noteworthy:<br />

Adaptation to the new SES regulatory framework<br />

Coordination with A<strong>es</strong>a to streamline the external audit<br />

proc<strong>es</strong>s in keeping with better practic<strong>es</strong> in Europe:<br />

− The internal and external (A<strong>es</strong>a/Senasa) coordination<br />

of the entire Annual Supervision Plan<br />

2009 was performed. This included 51 inspections<br />

r<strong>es</strong>ulting in the detection of 150 infractions.<br />

The ratio improved by nearly 25% over<br />

S<strong>es</strong>ar<br />

Legal information<br />

Management Report<br />

2008. Periodic reports of the state of the Supervision<br />

Plan were drafted.<br />

− Justifi cation and allegation reports for A<strong>es</strong>a<br />

were prepared (technical certifi cation, quality<br />

parameters, operational-support units documentation,<br />

AIS-NOF contingency, LVP)<br />

− The expansion of certifi cation to ADS-C was<br />

arranged and negotiated with A<strong>es</strong>a, including<br />

updating all the certifi cation support documents<br />

in technical, legal and organizational<br />

areas, with the expansion of the certifi cate to<br />

ADS-C on July 2nd 2009.<br />

The internal audit unit was <strong>es</strong>tablished:<br />

− Development and formalization of the A131 internal<br />

audit proc<strong>es</strong>s form: A131-19-PGR-001;<br />

general internal audit procedure of the Directorate<br />

Coordination mechanisms during S<strong>es</strong>ar Committee<br />

meetings were <strong>es</strong>tablished through an online<br />

tool developed for this purpose.<br />

It is <strong>es</strong>sential to point out that the proc<strong>es</strong>s of assuring<br />

<strong>Aena</strong>’s contribution to the S<strong>es</strong>ar programme is<br />

an ongoing activity: an assurance that <strong>Aena</strong> fulfi<br />

ls its contractual agreements with the SJU in due<br />

time and form.<br />

Other international endeavours<br />

One of the objectiv<strong>es</strong> of Air Navigation is to increase<br />

3.3.1. AENA INTERNACIONAL<br />

During 2009 <strong>Aena</strong> Internacional continued participating<br />

actively in the management it undertak<strong>es</strong> in differ-


ent corporate forms at 28 airports in which it has an<br />

inter<strong>es</strong>t in Latin America (Mexico, Colombia, Cuba and<br />

Bolivia), the European Union (the United Kingdom and<br />

Sweden) and the United Stat<strong>es</strong> of America.<br />

The diffi cult conditions of the air transport industry during<br />

2009, ensuing from the worldwide fi nancial crisis,<br />

had a negative impact on many of the assets managed<br />

by <strong>Aena</strong> Internacional, which r<strong>es</strong>ulted in an 8.17%<br />

downturn in passenger traffi c, with a total of 47.5 million<br />

passengers as opposed to 52 million in 2008.<br />

Especially signifi cant were the decline in traffi c at airports<br />

operated in Mexico where passenger throughput<br />

decreased by 13.3% from the previous year.<br />

Elsewhere, passenger traffi c throughout TBI likewise<br />

suffered a sharp downturn at 7.7%. Of note, however,<br />

is the overall abundance of traffi c at airports in<br />

Colombia which, on the whole, recorded an 11.97%<br />

increase in 2009.<br />

D<strong>es</strong>pite the general decrease in traffi c, the management<br />

strategy based on cost containment to a<br />

certain extent compensated for that decline by preventing<br />

its being directly transferred to operating income,<br />

which can be considered positive, considering<br />

the crisis we are in.<br />

Overall, <strong>Aena</strong> Internacional has continued providing<br />

technical support and assistance servic<strong>es</strong> at the airports<br />

in which it has an inter<strong>es</strong>t, <strong>es</strong>pecially where it<br />

acts as operating partner.<br />

In the aeronautics servic<strong>es</strong> area, 2009 was a year of<br />

consolidating the operations of the In-fl ight Verifi cation<br />

Unit and the Galileo project offi ce.<br />

Regarding the quality system, <strong>Aena</strong> Internacional continued<br />

striving to improve the quality of its servic<strong>es</strong>,<br />

adapting its management system and attaining certifi -<br />

cation in line with the new ISO 9001:2008 standards.<br />

As a consequence of the activity d<strong>es</strong>cribed above, the<br />

company has continued to earn profi t from operations<br />

Management Report<br />

<strong>Aena</strong>’s holding in <strong>Aena</strong> Internacional in the Grupo<br />

Aeroportuario del Pacífico (GAP), which operat<strong>es</strong><br />

12 airports in Mexico, is administered through<br />

the company <strong>Aeropuertos</strong> Mexicanos del Pacífico<br />

(AMP), which in turn is GAP’s strategic partner<br />

through 17.4% of the capital and a technical support<br />

contract, and in which <strong>Aena</strong> Internacional is its<br />

operating partner.<br />

In 2009 GAP operations demonstrated a signifi cant<br />

slump in growth due to the persistence of the diffi -<br />

cult worldwide fi nancial situation (which considerably<br />

affected the industry in Mexico and its principal international<br />

market, the Unit<strong>es</strong> Stat<strong>es</strong> of America), the reorganization<br />

of the low-cost market and the defi nitive<br />

disappearance of several airlin<strong>es</strong>.<br />

Total passenger throughput (excluding transit) fell by<br />

13.3%. Passenger traffi c was at 19.2 million, 66% of<br />

which was dom<strong>es</strong>tic and 34% of which was international.<br />

Operational activity declined by 12.92% in step with<br />

the fall in traffi c, as there were a total of 405,007 operations.<br />

Air cargo was also affected by the downturn in the<br />

economy of the United Stat<strong>es</strong> of America, as a total<br />

of 126,278 tonn<strong>es</strong> were carried. However, in the last<br />

months a signifi cant recovery was made.<br />

All th<strong>es</strong>e factors had a negative infl uence on the company’s<br />

EBITDA, though to a l<strong>es</strong>ser extent than on traffi c<br />

due to the succ<strong>es</strong>sful practice of cost containment and<br />

the strength of sal<strong>es</strong> income. Thus, the EBITDA margin<br />

was maintained owing to rigorous cost controls.<br />

Management Report<br />

The Mexican authoriti<strong>es</strong>’ approval of the Master Plan<br />

2010-2024 was attained. This plan was drawn up by <strong>Aena</strong><br />

for the group’s 12 airports. The inv<strong>es</strong>tments and associated<br />

regulation of charg<strong>es</strong> were also approved, thus providing<br />

a stable management framework for the next fi ve years.<br />

Main endeavours<br />

The relevant developmental master plans and additional<br />

inv<strong>es</strong>tment plans continued to be implemented, as<br />

more than 420 million Mexican p<strong>es</strong>os were inv<strong>es</strong>ted.<br />

The main endeavours in 2009 consisted in adapting<br />

the infrastructur<strong>es</strong> of the airports to ICAO standards,<br />

upgrading pavement and building private aviation terminals<br />

(FBOs) in Guadalajara and San José del Cabo.<br />

Moreover, the new ground transport station of the new<br />

parking area at Guadalajara Airport was completed.<br />

With regard to sal<strong>es</strong>, the inv<strong>es</strong>tments in FBO and<br />

ground terminals led to launching new servic<strong>es</strong> in<br />

th<strong>es</strong>e faciliti<strong>es</strong>, and the expansions of the shopping<br />

areas in Guadalajara and San José del Cabo led to a<br />

newly arranged passenger fl ow.<br />

<strong>Aena</strong> Internacional advice and consulting<br />

The projected Technology Transfer Plan was developed<br />

with a special contribution of training and technical<br />

areas (diagnos<strong>es</strong> of pavement condition, airport signposting<br />

and studi<strong>es</strong> of cardio-safe airports).<br />

In 2009 <strong>Aena</strong> Internacional prepared a diagnosis of<br />

GAP’s information systems and drew up a proposal for<br />

the implementation of the Scena operational system<br />

at the 12 airports.<br />

COLOMBIA<br />

<strong>Aena</strong> Internacional has an inter<strong>es</strong>t, as operating partner,<br />

in the airports of Cartagena de Indias, Barranqilla<br />

Annual report 2009<br />

and Cali, with r<strong>es</strong>pective holdings of 38%, 40% and<br />

33% in the compani<strong>es</strong> that manage them Sacsa (Sociedad<br />

Aeroportuaria de la Costa S.A. in Cartagena de<br />

Indias), Acsa (<strong>Aeropuertos</strong> del Caribe S.A. in Baranquilla)<br />

and Sociedad Aerocali S.A. in Cali.<br />

Activiti<strong>es</strong> at th<strong>es</strong>e airports evolved favourably in 2009:<br />

Sacsa. In 2009, owing to the efforts intended to increase<br />

traffi c, and as a r<strong>es</strong>ult of the marketing plan,<br />

international passenger traffi c again rose considerably,<br />

by 7.3%. The growth in international passenger<br />

traffi c was brought about by the addition of a<br />

new airline, Lan Perú, as well as the increased frequenci<strong>es</strong><br />

of the airline Spirit and the airline Aerorepública’s<br />

new route to Caracas. As regards dom<strong>es</strong>tic<br />

traffi c trends, the Colombian airports were<br />

affected by the launching of the low-cost airlin<strong>es</strong>.<br />

Thus, dom<strong>es</strong>tic passenger traffi c in Cartagena increased<br />

by 19.42% over the previous year with the<br />

start-up of two new airlin<strong>es</strong>: Air<strong>es</strong> and Easy Fly. As a<br />

consequence of the former, in 2009 Sacsa’s operating<br />

income grew by 24% over that of 2008.<br />

Acsa. Passenger traffi c grew by 8.34% bolstered by<br />

a 14.8% increase in dom<strong>es</strong>tic traffi c, following the<br />

introduction of low-cost airlin<strong>es</strong>. The increase in dom<strong>es</strong>tic<br />

traffi c attenuated the downturn in international<br />

traffi c caused by the worldwide fi nancial situation<br />

and the withdrawal of American Airlin<strong>es</strong> from<br />

Barranquilla Airport. However, starting the second<br />

sem<strong>es</strong>ter of 2009 signs of recovery were observed<br />

as new international rout<strong>es</strong> were introduced and a<br />

new route to Miami was announced for 2010.<br />

AEROCALI. Traffi c increased over the previous fi nancial<br />

year and reached the fi gure of 2.74 million passengers.<br />

Dom<strong>es</strong>tic passengers increased by 12.7%<br />

and international passengers by 3.36%. This, along<br />

with the efforts made by Aerocali to improve busin<strong>es</strong>s<br />

income and contain costs, r<strong>es</strong>ulted in a 20.3%

rise in operational profi t for the company. In 2009<br />

the company again paid out dividends to its shareholders<br />

for the second time since its founding.<br />

In 2009 <strong>Aena</strong> Internacional signed a new contract with<br />

Empr<strong>es</strong>a Cubana de <strong>Aeropuertos</strong> y Servicios Aeronáuticos<br />

for “Advice and training for operating Ecasa airports”.<br />

With this new contract the busin<strong>es</strong>s relations with Ecasa<br />

(the enterprise that administrat<strong>es</strong> and operat<strong>es</strong> the<br />

airports in Cuba) are continued and expanded.<br />

TBI<br />

<strong>Aena</strong> Internacional has an ownership inter<strong>es</strong>t in the<br />

company TBI P.L.C. through its sole owner, Airports Conc<strong>es</strong>sions<br />

and Development Limited (ACDL), in which it<br />

has a 10% shareholding. Either directly or through conc<strong>es</strong>sions<br />

TBI operat<strong>es</strong> the airports of Luton, Belfast and<br />

Cardiff in the United Kingdom; Orland Sanford in the<br />

United Stat<strong>es</strong>; La Paz, Santa Cruz and Cochabamba in<br />

Bolivia and Skavsta in Sweden. It also has various operating<br />

and management contracts in the United Stat<strong>es</strong>.<br />

The impact of the worldwide fi nancial crisis r<strong>es</strong>ulted<br />

in a 7.7% fall in passenger traffi c mainly owing to signifi<br />

cant declin<strong>es</strong> at United Kingdom airports. Nonethel<strong>es</strong>s,<br />

the strategy of cost containment and inv<strong>es</strong>tments<br />

mitigated the net r<strong>es</strong>ult although the year-end fi gur<strong>es</strong><br />

show a loss of 1.9 million pounds.<br />

The decrease in traffi c made for a total passenger<br />

throughput of 22.58 million for the group, yet there was<br />

a noteworthy 12.2% increase in passenger throughput<br />

at the three Bolivian airports. The most signifi cant<br />

drops in traffi c were recorded at the UK airports: Luton<br />

(-10.4%), Belfast (-13.3%) and Cardiff (-17.9%). TBI<br />

conducted a major readjustment of inv<strong>es</strong>tment efforts,<br />

which were basically limited to maintenance tasks.<br />

The most notable inv<strong>es</strong>tments were made to replace the<br />

radars at Belfast and Cardiff and to red<strong>es</strong>ign the landside<br />

and airside layout at Belfast in order to increase and<br />

better distribute the shopping on offer at the airport.<br />

3.4. AIR NAVIGATION<br />

The Directorate of Air Navigation is committed to<br />

reaching maximum levels of quality in the servic<strong>es</strong> it<br />

provid<strong>es</strong> by continually improving their effi cacy and<br />

the effi ciency of the system. The operational servic<strong>es</strong><br />

provided are: airspace organization and management,<br />

management of the relation between capacity<br />

and demand, air traffi c control and aeronautical information<br />

for air navigation.<br />

In order to increase effi cacy, it aims to reduce delays<br />

caused by the Spanish air traffi c management system, improve<br />

performance with r<strong>es</strong>pect to the number of operations<br />

during highly demanded periods and tim<strong>es</strong>, in addition<br />

to offering the possibility of selecting preferred rout<strong>es</strong><br />

and optimizing the management of traffi c capacity and<br />

fl ow by meeting user’s real-time operating requirements.<br />

The strategic chang<strong>es</strong> addr<strong>es</strong>sed in 2009, stipulated in<br />

the Air Traffi c Management Action Plan, are as follows:<br />

The organization and management of the airspace<br />

will be structured and managed regardl<strong>es</strong>s of internal<br />

and external organizational borders. The Air<br />

Traffi c Control (ATC) sectors will be d<strong>es</strong>igned according<br />

to demands in air traffi c fl ows, without<br />

the organizational borders entailing limitations as<br />

to the attainment of the b<strong>es</strong>t solutions.<br />

The route d<strong>es</strong>ign and network will be optimized:<br />

the network of rout<strong>es</strong> will be d<strong>es</strong>igned according<br />

to users’ preferenc<strong>es</strong>, and procedur<strong>es</strong> for facilitating<br />

alternativ<strong>es</strong> will also be developed.<br />

ATC work will be optimized through the development<br />

and dynamic application of ATC sector-position<br />

confi gurations for different operating scenarios.<br />

Availability of the entire airspace: the airspace will be<br />

treated as a seaml<strong>es</strong>s r<strong>es</strong>ource available to all users.<br />

In 2009 <strong>Aena</strong>’s strategy was aligned with the guidelin<strong>es</strong><br />

of the Ministry of Public Works and Transport,<br />

using the Strategic Infrastructure and Transport Plan<br />

(Peit) as a basic reference.<br />

In line with this planning framework the general strategic<br />

objectiv<strong>es</strong> are grouped into fi ve strategic management<br />

areas: safety; quality and the environment;<br />

infrastructur<strong>es</strong> and servic<strong>es</strong>; economic effi ciency and<br />

fi nancial viability; and people.


4. SAFETY<br />

<strong>Aena</strong>’s General Safety Plan sets out all the aspects of<br />

safety in its faciliti<strong>es</strong>, operations and servic<strong>es</strong>.<br />

This General Safety Plan addr<strong>es</strong>s<strong>es</strong> means of improving<br />

the three facets of overall safety:<br />

Operational safety and self-protection.<br />

Security of persons and property.<br />

Occupational risk prevention.<br />

With regard to operational safety and self-protection,<br />

measur<strong>es</strong> were taken in the following fi elds:<br />

Safety Management System<br />

During 2009, the Safety Management System (SMS)<br />

was implemented at 11 <strong>Aena</strong> network airports (Ibiza,<br />

Tenerife Sur, Barcelona, Palma de Mallorca, Gran Canaria,<br />

Malaga, Alicante, Lanzarote, Madrid-Barajas,<br />

Valencia and Bilbao). The proc<strong>es</strong>s of implementing the<br />

SMS is in its fi nal phase at another 12 airports (Fuerteventura,<br />

Menorca, Girona, Jerez, Santiago, Tenerife<br />

Norte, Seville, Almeria, La Palma, Federico García Lorca<br />

Granada-Jaen, Asturias and Corunna). The defi nition<br />

phase has begun at another 10 airports (Reus, Vigo,<br />

Logroño, Vitoria, Melilla, San Sebastian, Pamplona,<br />

Saragossa, Son Bonet and La Gomera).<br />

From the standpoint of air navigation servic<strong>es</strong>, since the<br />

Safety Management System was put in place in 2006 to<br />

comply with the requirements <strong>es</strong>tablished in the regulatory<br />

framework for providing air navigation servic<strong>es</strong> (EC<br />

no. 550/2004) and the ministerial order of the General<br />

Directorate of Civil Aviation on March 16th 2006 regarding<br />

the attainment of certifi cation for providers of civil air<br />

navigation servic<strong>es</strong> in accordance with the Single European<br />

Sky regulations, throughout 2009 important prog-<br />

r<strong>es</strong>s was made with regard to training. The operational<br />

safety course was given to 1,212 students in order to improve<br />

the mechanisms of raising awaren<strong>es</strong>s about safety;<br />

a new magazine called +Seguridad en <strong>Navegación</strong> <strong>Aérea</strong><br />

(More Safety in Air Navigation) was published, and a<br />

website on safety was developed on the Internav (the Air<br />

Navigation intranet). In relation to the ass<strong>es</strong>sment and<br />

handling of safety incidents, the total number of notifi cations<br />

increased, and the majority of th<strong>es</strong>e were in-house<br />

notifi cations. The proc<strong>es</strong>s of risk analysis and mitigation<br />

was virtually consolidated as the documents and forms<br />

needed to expedite this proc<strong>es</strong>s were produced and new<br />

coordination mechanisms were <strong>es</strong>tablished.<br />

Proc<strong>es</strong>s Of Certifying <strong>Aena</strong> Network Airports<br />

As regards the proc<strong>es</strong>s of certifying airports, the following<br />

documents were drafted and sent to the State<br />

Agency for Air Safety (A<strong>es</strong>a) on August 31st 2009 for<br />

their approval:<br />

Programme of action for adapting to the Royal Decree<br />

on Airport Certifi cation.<br />

Airport certifi cation plan.<br />

Legal information<br />

In relation to the Airport Certifi cation Plan, it is important<br />

to highlight Ibiza Airport’s certifi cation application<br />

in December 2009, which is considered a pilot airport.<br />

Audits by the European Commission and the<br />

State Agency for Air Safety (A<strong>es</strong>a)<br />

It is important to point out that in 2009 the inspections<br />

and audits performed by the European Commission<br />

at the airports of Malaga (in June) and Barcelona<br />

(in December) and the monitoring of Madrid-Barajas<br />

Airport (in September) all had favourable outcom<strong>es</strong>.<br />

Furthermore, <strong>Aena</strong> performed scheduled safety checks<br />

at 24 airports (Albacete, Almeria, Asturias, Badajoz,<br />

to partial unscheduled checks at the different airports<br />

where the pr<strong>es</strong>ence of the Directorate of Airport<br />

Safety was required as a consequence of the need for<br />

operational improvement, implementing procedur<strong>es</strong>,<br />

running t<strong>es</strong>ts, implementing corrective measur<strong>es</strong> and<br />

optimizing the r<strong>es</strong>ourc<strong>es</strong> employed for performing<br />

safety servic<strong>es</strong> at the airports.<br />

Concerning the security of persons and property,<br />

the following measur<strong>es</strong> were taken:<br />

Inv<strong>es</strong>tments in security equipment<br />

As regards security equipment, in June 2009 operations<br />

began succ<strong>es</strong>sfully at Barcelona’s new Terminal 1,<br />

with state-of-the-art screening equipment for passengers<br />

and employe<strong>es</strong>, as well as for hand luggage and<br />

luggage to be stowed in holds. In this direction, during<br />

2009 equipment was installed in Malaga Airport’s new<br />

Terminal 3 both at passenger and employee checkpoints<br />

(14 walkthrough metal detectors and 22 x-ray<br />

devic<strong>es</strong>) and for the hold luggage screening system (13<br />

new machin<strong>es</strong> for detecting explosiv<strong>es</strong>—EDS—, 2 tomography<br />

machin<strong>es</strong> and 5 x-ray apparatus<strong>es</strong>).<br />

Furthermore, apart from th<strong>es</strong>e major expansions,<br />

the renovation of equipment in various network airports<br />

continued and new needs were met. Following<br />

up with the progr<strong>es</strong>sive incorporation of new equipment,<br />

shoe metal detectors continued to be installed.<br />

In 2009 they were installed in Madrid-Barajas and Barcelona<br />

airports, in addition to those already installed in<br />

Palma de Mallorca Airport. The tendering proc<strong>es</strong>s was<br />

underway for installing them in the r<strong>es</strong>t of the network<br />

airports, thus improving the passenger screening<br />

proc<strong>es</strong>s.<br />

In 2009 the private security service was put out to tender<br />

and awarded in accordance with the new quality<br />

criteria defi ned in the new model for the provision of<br />

private security at the 43 network airports.<br />

Physical security of the air navigation system<br />

One of the main objectiv<strong>es</strong> of security is to ensure the<br />

protection of the persons, infrastructur<strong>es</strong>, technical faciliti<strong>es</strong><br />

and data involved in air navigation. Therefore,<br />

the following measur<strong>es</strong> were taken to improve the<br />

proc<strong>es</strong>s<strong>es</strong> of managing physical security:<br />

The human r<strong>es</strong>ourc<strong>es</strong> of physical security were optimized<br />

by installing security systems that, without<br />

increasing the level of risk to the faciliti<strong>es</strong>, reduce<br />

the cost of security personnel. Specifi cally, in<br />

2009 the following reductions were made: 1H9 in<br />

Menorca, 1H24 in Gran Canaria, 1H24 in MGA radar<br />

of Malaga and 2H24 in the Southern Region<br />

ACC and C.R. el Judío.<br />

At the same time, detection systems were installed<br />

by implementing the use of Air Navigation credentials<br />

wherever nec<strong>es</strong>sary.<br />

Among the most noteworthy actions taken in the area<br />

of occupational risk prevention is the attainment of an<br />

overall incident rate at <strong>Aena</strong> (the number of accidents<br />

per thousand workers) of 9.28, which entails an 8.4%<br />

reduction from 2008.<br />

Similarly, the objectiv<strong>es</strong> set out in 2009 regarding the<br />

number of risk ass<strong>es</strong>sments and medical check-ups were<br />

accomplished as, r<strong>es</strong>pectively, 22.7% and 0.2% more<br />

were performed than in 2008, whereas 26,213 hours of<br />

workplace risk prevention training were given at <strong>Aena</strong>.


5. QUALITY AND THE<br />

ENVIRONMENT<br />

5.1. QUALITY<br />

In the sphere of quality the following r<strong>es</strong>ults were obtained<br />

in the year 2009:<br />

<strong>Aena</strong>’s corporate units adapted the proc<strong>es</strong>s<strong>es</strong> of<br />

certifi cation of the quality system pursuant to the<br />

UNE-EN ISO 9001:2008 standards. Currently, 43<br />

airports also boast certifi cation updated to the<br />

2008 standards and the Directorate of Air Navigation<br />

projects its adaptation to th<strong>es</strong>e standards in<br />

April 2010, encompassing all the regional directorat<strong>es</strong><br />

of air navigation.<br />

On the subject of training, a total of 46 people<br />

were given cours<strong>es</strong> in order to comply with the r<strong>es</strong>pective<br />

regulations as well as to guarantee more<br />

effi cient and prof<strong>es</strong>sional management. To this<br />

end, <strong>Aena</strong> counted on the collaboration of Aenor,<br />

the Club for Excellence in Management and<br />

the Spanish Quality Association. Classroom, online<br />

and distance cours<strong>es</strong> were given, as were some<br />

personalized cours<strong>es</strong> in exceptional cas<strong>es</strong>.<br />

With r<strong>es</strong>pect to using the management framework<br />

of the European Foundation for Quality Management<br />

(EFQM), during the fi nancial year 2009 self-ass<strong>es</strong>sments<br />

were carried out at the airports of Madrid-Barajas,<br />

Seville and Saragossa. Saragossa Airport submitted<br />

an entry for the Award for Entrepreneurial Excellence<br />

in Aragon, and was selected as a fi nalist in the group<br />

of large compani<strong>es</strong>, earning over 300 points that could<br />

be equated the following year to a 300+ Seal and its<br />

correlative Recognised for excellence 3 stars.<br />

In the area of Corporate Social R<strong>es</strong>ponsibility, in<br />

November 2009 the Board of Directors of <strong>Aena</strong><br />

Legal information<br />

Management Report<br />

approved the Corporate Social R<strong>es</strong>ponsibility Policy<br />

and Strategy, which propos<strong>es</strong> a four-phase deployment.<br />

Worthy of mention in this regard is the<br />

drafting of <strong>Aena</strong>’s Corporate Social R<strong>es</strong>ponsibility<br />

Report for the fi nancial year 2008, following the<br />

Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) guidelin<strong>es</strong> for Sustainability<br />

Reporting (version 3.0) of October 2006.<br />

In this manner, in its CSR Report 2008, <strong>Aena</strong> decided<br />

to follow application level B of the GRI recommendations,<br />

as the Global Reporting Initiative had<br />

declared this level of application.<br />

In the area of R&D&I management, th<strong>es</strong>e activiti<strong>es</strong><br />

are monitored through periodic reports of their<br />

level of execution. One improvement in <strong>Aena</strong>’s innovation<br />

management that was identifi ed by the<br />

ass<strong>es</strong>sment conducted was the perfection of the<br />

technological and innovation management strategy<br />

with the defi nitive inclusion of a set of indicators<br />

that enable measuring the accomplishment<br />

of <strong>Aena</strong>’s R&D&I objectiv<strong>es</strong>. At <strong>Aena</strong>, this broadreaching<br />

approach to innovation materializ<strong>es</strong> in<br />

numerous projects, among which the following<br />

are most noteworthy:<br />

- In the sphere of air navigation: the S<strong>es</strong>ar programme<br />

for the development and implementation<br />

of the Single European Sky concept, the<br />

Egnos and Galileo projects for the improvement<br />

of satellite navigation and the Sacta programme<br />

for the automation of air traffi c systems.<br />

- Among the outstanding actions in the sphere<br />

of airports are the implementation of integrated<br />

systems at airport management centr<strong>es</strong> and<br />

the automated baggage handling systems.<br />

- In more general areas, <strong>Aena</strong> conducts innovative<br />

activiti<strong>es</strong> such as the satellite ortho-imaging<br />

airport information system (Saos), or, in<br />

the realm of energy effi ciency, projects geared<br />

Annual report 2009 277

Management Report<br />

toward rationalizing energy consumption and<br />

using renewable energi<strong>es</strong>. It also undertak<strong>es</strong><br />

projects d<strong>es</strong>igned to improve security of persons<br />

and faciliti<strong>es</strong> through innovative information<br />

technologi<strong>es</strong> and it carri<strong>es</strong> out plans to facilitate<br />

information and special servic<strong>es</strong> to persons<br />

with reduced mobility.<br />

- As a r<strong>es</strong>ult of <strong>Aena</strong>’s efforts to foster R&D&I<br />

projects, it is important to underscore the progr<strong>es</strong>sive<br />

start-up during 2009 of its benchmark<br />

ATM R&D&I centre (Crida), created in 2008 for<br />

the purpose of developing, identifying and analyzing<br />

new air traffi c management procedur<strong>es</strong><br />

and systems.<br />

Pertaining to <strong>Aena</strong>’s close collaboration with associations<br />

and organizations promoting excellence in busin<strong>es</strong>s<br />

management, it is worth mentioning the pr<strong>es</strong>ence<br />

of <strong>Aena</strong> experts as evaluators for the award for<br />

excellence in public management, promoted by the<br />

Agency for Evaluation and Quality (Aeval) attached to<br />

the Spanish Ministry of the Pr<strong>es</strong>idency.<br />

<strong>Aena</strong> has also provided different forms of support for<br />

the Excellence in Management Club such as organizing<br />

the annual forum for excellence in management or<br />

evaluating organizations that submit entri<strong>es</strong> for seals<br />

of excellence in the 500+ points category.<br />

5.2. ENVIRONMENT<br />

During the year 2009 the following actions were undertaken<br />

in relation to environmental protection, a<br />

strategic objective of <strong>Aena</strong> which is integrated at all<br />

operational levels.<br />

Environmental certifi cation<br />

With r<strong>es</strong>pect to environmental certifi cation in accor-<br />

Annual report 2009<br />

dance with the UNE-EN ISO 14001:2004 standards, all<br />

<strong>Aena</strong> network airports are certifi ed, as are the Directorate<br />

of Air Navigation and its fi ve regional directorat<strong>es</strong>,<br />

the Directorate of Spanish Airports and the Central<br />

Servic<strong>es</strong> of the corporate units.<br />

Sound insulation plans<br />

During 2009, <strong>Aena</strong> sound-proofed 697 hom<strong>es</strong> included<br />

in the sound insulation plans of Madrid-Barajas, Alicante,<br />

Malaga, Palma de Mallorca, Valencia, Tenerife<br />

Norte and Gran Canaria airports.<br />

Similarly, the sound insulation plans for Pamplona,<br />

Santiago and Bilbao airports began to be executed.<br />

Following the ruling on April 29th 2009 of the Ministry<br />

of the Environment and Rural and Marine Affairs<br />

whereby it formulated the environmental impact statement<br />

in relation to the project for the expansion of Bilbao<br />

Airport, and as a r<strong>es</strong>ult of the regulatory framework<br />

of Law 372003 on Noise, the scope of the sound insulation<br />

plans corr<strong>es</strong>ponding to <strong>Aena</strong> network airports,<br />

whose rulings were published past that date, have been<br />

defi ned by the following noise levels: Ld 60 decibels<br />

(A) (7:00-19:00 hours), Le 60 decibels (A) (19:00-23:00<br />

hours) and Ln 50 decibels (A) (19:00-23:00 hours). This<br />

criterion was applied at the airports of Sabadell, Menorca,<br />

Ibiza, Vigo and Gran Canaria, in addition to Bilbao<br />

Airport, and it is projected that in future environmental<br />

impact statements that are formulated by the abovementioned<br />

ministry this is the range to be <strong>es</strong>tablished for<br />

the execution of corr<strong>es</strong>ponding sound insulation plans.<br />

Ass<strong>es</strong>sment of the environmental impact<br />

of projects and strategic environmental<br />

ass<strong>es</strong>sment of planning tools<br />

During 2009 the environmental management statements<br />

(EMS) were obtained for the airport expansion projects in<br />

Cordoba (runway extension), Bilbao, Ibiza, Gran Canaria,


Menorca and Logroño, as well as the environmental rulings<br />

on the infrastructure projects at Gran Canaria, Leon,<br />

Malaga, Murcia, Sabadell, Valencia and Vigo. Similarly,<br />

the corr<strong>es</strong>ponding reports refl ecting compliance with the<br />

conditions <strong>es</strong>tablished in the environmental impact statements<br />

(EMS info) were drafted and proc<strong>es</strong>sed.<br />

On the topic of monitoring and overseeing actions derived<br />

from the environmental impact statements a replacement<br />

programme was put in place for on-apron<br />

support vehicl<strong>es</strong> at Palma de Mallorca Airport.<br />

With regard to the strategic ass<strong>es</strong>sment of planning<br />

tools, in collaboration with the Ministry of the Environment<br />

and Rural and Marine Affairs, the environmental<br />

reports were drafted for the proposed revision of<br />

the master plans of the airports Federico García Lorca<br />

Granada-Jaen, Ibiza, Menorca, Palma de Mallorca,<br />

Pamplona, Santander, Valencia and Vigo, and the offi<br />

cial environmental procedur<strong>es</strong> were initiated for the<br />

proposed revision of the master plans of Alicante, Cordoba<br />

and Son Bonet airports.<br />

Sound and air ass<strong>es</strong>sments<br />

On the subject of managing the noise pollution in the<br />

airport surroundings it is fi tting to highlight the sound<br />

ass<strong>es</strong>sment undertaken with a view to removing the<br />

aircraft that only marginally comply with requirements<br />

at Barcelona Airport, and the installation of a noise<br />

and fl ight path monitoring system at Valencia Airport.<br />

In a different direction, a public notice was placed for<br />

60 days starting December 9th 2008 regarding the updating<br />

of the strategic noise maps of the airports of Barcelona,<br />

Madrid-Barajas and Valencia. Furthermore, the<br />

sound footprints continued to be determined by the<br />

environmental impact studi<strong>es</strong> and environmental documents,<br />

as were those of the master plans undertaken<br />

during 2009. The revision of the sound footprints of the<br />

Saragossa Airport master plan was also carried out and<br />

is currently undergoing the approval proc<strong>es</strong>s.<br />

As regards air ass<strong>es</strong>sments, air quality control and<br />

monitoring programm<strong>es</strong> were drawn up for Gran Canaria<br />

and Reus airports.<br />

Characterization and management of soil<br />

In 2009, following up on work of previous years, further<br />

steps were taken to decontaminate soil at Palma<br />

de Mallorca Airport, and several plots of land were certifi<br />

ed at Burgos and Valencia airports.<br />

Moreover, analytical controls were run at the piezometric<br />

monitoring network at the airports of Almeria,<br />

Asturias, Badajoz, Bilbao, Burgos, Madrid-Cuatro<br />

Vientos, Gran Canaria, Malaga, Salamanca, Seville and<br />

Vigo, and the piezometric monitoring network at Palma<br />

de Mallorca Airport was expanded.<br />

Renewable energy<br />

Legal information<br />

Management Report<br />

The feasibility plan was drawn up for the implementation<br />

of renewable energy technologi<strong>es</strong> at Madrid-Barajas<br />

Airport. It was intended that this study be <strong>es</strong>pecially<br />

practical and it was therefore focused on the systems<br />

based on photovoltaic solar energy, thermal solar energy<br />

and wind energy. In all the studi<strong>es</strong> carried out to date it<br />

has been taken into account that the main activity of the<br />

airports are airport operations and air traffi c, which may<br />

to some extent condition the implementation of systems<br />

based on certain renewable energy technologi<strong>es</strong>.<br />

The preliminary feasibility report was drawn up on<br />

wind turbine systems for Gran Canaria Airport. It enumerat<strong>es</strong><br />

different small-sized wind turbine options in<br />

addition to new options for the distribution of wind<br />

energy systems.<br />

A proposal of intentions was drafted in preparation of a<br />

feasibility study of electrical vehicl<strong>es</strong> on airport premis<strong>es</strong>.<br />

Annual report 2009 279

Management Report<br />

The aim is to study the operability of a 100% electrical<br />

vehicle in the airport environment. This evolved into an<br />

implementation plan for 2010 divided into two phas<strong>es</strong><br />

in which the initial studi<strong>es</strong> and t<strong>es</strong>ts will be performed.<br />

On the topic of energy effi ciency, energy studi<strong>es</strong> were<br />

carried out at the terminal buildings of Logroño, Valladolid<br />

and Salamanca airports and the north pier building-Terminal<br />

3 of Madrid-Barajas Airport. The <strong>Aena</strong><br />

headquarters building, located on Arturo Soria street<br />

in Madrid, was also analyzed. In all of th<strong>es</strong>e plac<strong>es</strong> diverse<br />

energy-saving measur<strong>es</strong> were determined and will<br />

be implemented as funding for them becom<strong>es</strong> available.<br />

Each building study includ<strong>es</strong> the building’s energy rating,<br />

and it is checked whether it compli<strong>es</strong> with the<br />

Technical Building Code, <strong>es</strong>pecially with regard to the<br />

HE-1 energy demand limitation. Moreover, projects<br />

were reviewed to determine whether they are drafted<br />

in compliance with the building code.<br />

6. INFRASTRUCTURES<br />

6.1. INFRASTRUCTURE PLANNING<br />

In 2009 the proc<strong>es</strong>s of reviewing and updating the master<br />

plans of the <strong>Aena</strong> network airports continued and<br />

proposals for new master plans were drafted for the airports<br />

of Fuerteventura, La Palma, Seville and El Hierro.<br />

As for the special plans, initial approval was achieved<br />

of the special plans for the airports of Seville and Malaga.<br />

Collaboration with the diverse public administrations<br />

was continued in order to achieve defi nitive<br />

approval of the remaining special airport plans that<br />

are currently being proc<strong>es</strong>sed. Furthermore, and for<br />

the purpose of being able to initiate procedur<strong>es</strong> once<br />

approval of the master plans has been obtained, the<br />

corr<strong>es</strong>ponding special plans were prepared for the air-<br />

Annual report 2009<br />

ports of Granada-Jaen, Menorca, Vigo, Alicante, Bilbao<br />

and Cordoba. Similarly, and in order to achieve the<br />

integration of the airports into the landscape, the corr<strong>es</strong>ponding<br />

development reports were prepared.<br />

Proposals were drafted for the aeronautical easements<br />

of Alicante, Reus, Bilbao, Vitoria, Son Bonet and Palma<br />

de Mallorca airports, as well as for the Randa transmitter<br />

centre; NDB Porto Colom, VOR-DME Pollensa, NDB<br />

Andratx, VOR-DME Mallorca, VOR-DME Capdepera and<br />

Soller Control Centre. Upon requ<strong>es</strong>t of the DGAC multiple<br />

feasibility reports were drawn up for the urban developments<br />

in areas affected by aeronautical easements.<br />

A new module of the Sigra system was developed and<br />

implemented for the generation of property information<br />

at the 47 network airports and within the Sigra<br />

system, a new module was implemented for proc<strong>es</strong>sing<br />

sewage and waterworks network at the airports of<br />

Gran Canaria, Tenerife Norte and Tenerife Sur.<br />

Cartography was produced for the airports of Reus,<br />

Barcelona, Bilbao, Girona, Vitoria, Burgos, Gan Canaria,<br />

Melilla, Almeria, Malaga, Cordoba and Lanzarote,<br />

in addition to Vejer (VOR) so as to be able to calculate<br />

the airport and radio-electrical easements.<br />

The Airport Topographical Control Network (RCTA)<br />

was implemented at the airports where construction<br />

took place.<br />

Lastly, the fi ve-year review was completed of the master<br />

plans for the 12 Mexican airports, and th<strong>es</strong>e master<br />

plans were approved by the Mexican airport authority<br />

in December 2009.<br />

6.2. INFRASTRUCTURES<br />

The objectiv<strong>es</strong> associated with the core infrastructur<strong>es</strong><br />

and servic<strong>es</strong> are:


To adapt supply to demand for servic<strong>es</strong><br />

To improve infrastructure maintenance and upkeep<br />

To optimize proc<strong>es</strong>s<strong>es</strong> and foster technological innovation<br />

In short, they aim to create and develop airport and air<br />

navigation infrastructur<strong>es</strong> capacitated to succ<strong>es</strong>sfully serve<br />

the growth in traffi c anticipated for the coming years.<br />

Properly adjusting supply to the requirements and demands<br />

of all customers and users of the <strong>Aena</strong> network<br />

entails the expansion, modernization and upgrading<br />

of airport faciliti<strong>es</strong>. To this end, in 2009 projects continued<br />

to be drafted and the planned construction<br />

work and installations were executed, contributing to<br />

the improvement of quality, increasing environmental<br />

sustainability, maintaining high levels of occupational<br />

risk prevention and safeguarding the security of persons<br />

and property. All this was carried out while keeping<br />

in mind technical and economical effi ciency, in<br />

accordance with the legislation in force, and complying<br />

with all the applicable standards and guidelin<strong>es</strong>:<br />

Safety and prevention; conditions favourable<br />

to risk prevention continued to be reinforced<br />

throughout the phas<strong>es</strong> of construction, from<br />

writing up projects to executing construction work,<br />

and during the tendering proc<strong>es</strong>s contractors were<br />

informed of <strong>Aena</strong>’s preventative criteria and the<br />

legislation in force regarding minimal health and<br />

safety requirements for construction projects.<br />

Quality assurance; the activiti<strong>es</strong> related to the<br />

development and monitoring of the quality<br />

management system were directed, supervised<br />

and coordinated for infrastructure management,<br />

and the activiti<strong>es</strong> related to performing technical<br />

audits of the construction projects assigned to<br />

Management were conducted.<br />

Environment; the actions needed to carry out the<br />

different studi<strong>es</strong>, projects and reports stipulated<br />

in the environmental impact reports were<br />

undertaken and the environmental controls from<br />

the planning phase to project completion were<br />

effectuated; the different environmental activiti<strong>es</strong><br />

derived from the execution of construction were<br />

directed and coordinated and <strong>Aena</strong> management<br />

collaborated with the DPI to prepare and proc<strong>es</strong>s<br />

the Environmental Impact Statements (EIS) for the<br />

construction projects it was assigned.<br />

The specifi c units in charge of the special airport<br />

plans, those involving the development and execution<br />

of the infrastructur<strong>es</strong> needed for the expansion<br />

of the airports of Barcelona (Barcelona Plan), Malaga<br />

(Malaga Plan), and Alicante and Valencia (Levante<br />

Plan), continued to make substantial progr<strong>es</strong>s<br />

on th<strong>es</strong>e projects and on the scheduled construction<br />

that contribut<strong>es</strong> to modernizing and upgrading the<br />

faciliti<strong>es</strong> in anticipation of future demands, in addition<br />

to improving society’s perceived image of the<br />

airports.<br />

From the standpoint of demand, during 2009 the service<br />

was provided 1,120,000 tim<strong>es</strong> throughout <strong>Aena</strong>’s<br />

network airports, generally receiving very positive ratings<br />

from PRM.<br />

7.2. 7.2. MODIFICATIONS OF<br />

OPERATING HOURS<br />

During 2009 the operating hours of Burgos and Valladolid<br />

airports were modifi ed. Since January 2009 the<br />

operating hours of Burgos Airport ceased to be from<br />

06:00 hours to dusk in summer and from 07:00 hours<br />

to dusk in winter, and were changed to 06:00 to 17:00<br />

in summer and from 07:00 to 18:00 in winter. Valladolid<br />

Airport, whose operating hours in summer are from<br />

05:00 to 08:30 and from 06:00 to 21:300 in winter,<br />

may now be authorized 2 hours PPR all year long.<br />

7.3. AIRPORT MARKETING<br />

With regard to airport marketing, progr<strong>es</strong>s was made<br />

in one of the most important areas of this fi eld: drawing<br />

up marketing plans. Marketing plans consist of an<br />

external, internal and market study of the airports in<br />

qu<strong>es</strong>tion and their regions in order to determine their<br />

potential. In 2009, the marketing plans were drafted<br />

for seven airports: Fuerteventura, Girona, Ibiza, Lanzarote,<br />

La Palma, Menorca and Reus.<br />

In relation to market r<strong>es</strong>earch, a fundamental tool for<br />

analyzing market trends and opportuniti<strong>es</strong>, the Emma<br />

offi ce has carried out more than 75,000 surveys<br />

at 4 Spanish airports (Barcelona, Ibiza, Madrid-Barajas<br />

and Palma de Mallorca). In addition to studying our<br />

airports, the airport marketing unit organized meetings<br />

with a large number of airlin<strong>es</strong> and local agents<br />

for the purpose of proposing new rout<strong>es</strong>. In the year<br />

2009 three international forums were attended: Fitur,<br />

Annual report 2009<br />

Rout<strong>es</strong> Europe and World Rout<strong>es</strong>, and the IATA slots<br />

conferenc<strong>es</strong>.<br />

7.4. OPENING TERMINAL 1 OF<br />

BARCELONA AIRPORT<br />

On June 17th 2009 the Star Alliance airlin<strong>es</strong> relocated<br />

to the new Terminal 1 (Phase 1). On September<br />

9th 2009 Oneworld Alliance, Vueling and Air Nostrum<br />

airlin<strong>es</strong> relocated to the T1 (Phase 2); and on October<br />

25th 2009 the Sky Team airlin<strong>es</strong> relocated to the<br />

T1, thus completing the third and last phase. All th<strong>es</strong>e<br />

phas<strong>es</strong> took place without incident.<br />

7.5. ACTIONS RELATED TO<br />

THE NEW TERMINAL 3 BUILDING<br />

OF MALAGA AIRPORT<br />

In the month of December performance t<strong>es</strong>ts were run<br />

in anticipation of the opening of Malaga Airport’s new<br />

Terminal 3 building.<br />

7.6. ACTIONS RELATED TO<br />

THE NEW TERMINAL BUILDING<br />

AT ALICANTE AIRPORT<br />

All the major contracts related to this expansion have<br />

been awarded and the projects are underway. The new<br />

terminal building is slated to open in early 2011, and<br />

a 3-month period for performance t<strong>es</strong>ting will follow.<br />

7.7. OTHER SERVICES LAUNCHED<br />

IN 2009<br />

In 2009 servic<strong>es</strong> were launched in the terminal building<br />

expansions at various airports:


Almeria Airport: On June 30th 2009 the expansion<br />

of the departur<strong>es</strong> terminal was opened (Phase 1).<br />

Badajoz Airport: On July 31st 2009 the expansion<br />

of the arrivals terminal was opened (Phase 1).<br />

Fuerteventura Airport: On November 9th 2009 the expansion<br />

of the new arrivals area was opened (Phase 1).<br />

8. ECONOMIC EFFICIENCY<br />

AND FINANCIAL VIABILITY<br />

The objectiv<strong>es</strong> related to the economic area are to increase<br />

revenue, reduce costs and control debt, which<br />

sum up the main economic and fi nancial aspects of<br />

<strong>Aena</strong>’s management.<br />

The fundamental principle behind the fi nancial policy of<br />

the Grupo <strong>Aena</strong> compani<strong>es</strong> is based on centralizing this<br />

policy at the Directorate of Administration and Finance<br />

so that all fi nancial liabiliti<strong>es</strong> and assets may be contracted<br />

and managed from that directorate, except for those<br />

of Ineco, which determin<strong>es</strong> its own fi nance polici<strong>es</strong>. The<br />

main fi nancial risks are enumerated below:<br />

a) Inter<strong>es</strong>t rate risk<br />

In order to manage inter<strong>es</strong>t rate risk <strong>Aena</strong> aims to optimize<br />

fi nancial expenditur<strong>es</strong> within the <strong>es</strong>tablished risk limits.<br />

The Public Company do<strong>es</strong> not usually undertake busin<strong>es</strong>s<br />

transactions in currenci<strong>es</strong> other than the Euro (unlike subsidiari<strong>es</strong><br />

such as <strong>Aena</strong> D<strong>es</strong>arrollo Internacional and Ineco),<br />

so the fi nancial expenditure risk is concentrated in the inter<strong>es</strong>t<br />

rate risk in the case of the parent company, the risk<br />

variabl<strong>es</strong> being three-month Euribor (used for long-term<br />

debt) and one-month Euribor (used in loan agreements).<br />

Additionally, the risk value of fi nancial expenditure is<br />

calculated with a view to the Multianual Action Plan<br />

and scenarios of inter<strong>es</strong>t rate fl uctuations are <strong>es</strong>tablished<br />

for the period under consideration. In the fi -<br />

nancial year 2009 the Group engaged in inter<strong>es</strong>t rate<br />

hedging transactions.<br />

b) Liquidity risk<br />

The main risk variabl<strong>es</strong> are: limitations of fi nance markets,<br />

increase in projected inv<strong>es</strong>tments, and reduction<br />

in cash-fl ow creation.<br />

In order to maintain suffi cient liquidity to meet the<br />

fi nancial needs of at least twelve months, a longterm<br />

fi nancing policy was <strong>es</strong>tablished by entering into<br />

framework agreements or similar agreements with<br />

organizations such as the Offi cial Credit Institute and<br />

the European Inv<strong>es</strong>tment Bank, in addition to securing<br />

short and medium-term credit lin<strong>es</strong>.<br />

Also, to be able to honour all the payment commitments<br />

derived from its operations, subsidiari<strong>es</strong> such as <strong>Aena</strong> D<strong>es</strong>arrollo<br />

Internacional have cash equivalents, short-term deposits<br />

recorded under the heading “Short-term fi nancial<br />

inv<strong>es</strong>tments – Other fi nancial assets”, and several credit<br />

lin<strong>es</strong>, for solving any liquidity problem that might arise.<br />

Risk management focus<strong>es</strong> on the detailed monitoring<br />

of the Group’s fi nancial debt maturity calendar, as well<br />

as the proactive management and maintenance of credit<br />

lin<strong>es</strong> that enable meeting predicted needs for liquidity.<br />

Lastly, the Group systematically performs cash fl ow<br />

forecasts for the purpose of ass<strong>es</strong>sing the needs for<br />

cash equivalents. This liquidity policy ensur<strong>es</strong> fulfi lment<br />

of acquired payment commitments without the<br />

need to r<strong>es</strong>ort to obtaining funds in costly conditions,<br />

which enabl<strong>es</strong> maintaining continual liquidity.<br />

party, so <strong>Aena</strong> aims to focus on minimizing the risk of<br />

default by the counterparti<strong>es</strong> without price penalization.<br />

The parent company keeps its cash and liquid assets<br />

at fi nancial institutions with high credit ratings. In<br />

the fi nancial year 2009, the parent company engaged<br />

in derivativ<strong>es</strong> transactions.<br />

d) Exchange rate risk<br />

The subsidiary <strong>Aena</strong> D<strong>es</strong>arrollo Internacional is subject<br />

to fl uctuations in exchange rat<strong>es</strong> that may affect<br />

its sal<strong>es</strong>, income, equity and cash fl ow. Therefore, the<br />

company has a fi nancial hedging instrument for cash<br />

fl ows affected by variations in exchange rat<strong>es</strong>.<br />

8.1 CONTROL MEASURES<br />

AND COST REDUCTIONS<br />

Directorate of spanish airports<br />

The plans put in place in 2008 to optimize and reduce<br />

costs were carried on in 2009, leading to a savings of<br />

more than 36 million euros with r<strong>es</strong>pect to the initial<br />

2009 budget. The reduction applied to virtually all areas<br />

of expenditure, with special impact on the items<br />

of repair and conservation, cleaning, energy, private<br />

security, technical support, communications, publicity<br />

and parking management.<br />

Noteworthy among the measur<strong>es</strong> taken was the introduction<br />

of the concept of variable spending depending<br />

on traffi c, negotiating economic conditions with service<br />

providers, polici<strong>es</strong> for optimizing r<strong>es</strong>ourc<strong>es</strong>, postponing<br />

non-<strong>es</strong>sential actions and greater control of fi xed costs.<br />

Directorate of Air Navigation<br />

An objective of Air Navigation is to improve its economic<br />

effi ciency and fi nancial viability. In 2009 ac-<br />

Annual report 2009<br />

tions were carried out to this end in the following<br />

areas:<br />

Promotion of better practic<strong>es</strong> and cost containment<br />

plan: guidelin<strong>es</strong> were <strong>es</strong>tablished in Coena<br />

and a fi rst step was taken to prepare the PO 2010;<br />

nonethel<strong>es</strong>s, more progr<strong>es</strong>s is projected for 2010.<br />

Establishment of measur<strong>es</strong> for cost reduction:<br />

guidelin<strong>es</strong> were <strong>es</strong>tablished in Coena, and a fi rst<br />

step was taken to prepare the PO 2010; nonethel<strong>es</strong>s,<br />

more progr<strong>es</strong>s is projected for 2010.<br />

Implementation of new rul<strong>es</strong> and model for airport<br />

charg<strong>es</strong>: unitary pric<strong>es</strong> and rat<strong>es</strong> formula were<br />

changed in the Law on Budgets for 2010.<br />

Adaptation of costs model and billing system to the<br />

new environment which includ<strong>es</strong> private airports,<br />

and separation of accounts of <strong>Aena</strong> units: this is a<br />

continual proc<strong>es</strong>s for which, in 2009, systems were<br />

adapted and the Costneg tool was developed.<br />

8.2. DISCOUNT IN RATES<br />

In order to support the air transport industry and favour<br />

tourism, the government <strong>es</strong>tablished the following<br />

discounts in airport charg<strong>es</strong>:<br />

1. A 100% discount in the payment of passenger<br />

charg<strong>es</strong> for airlin<strong>es</strong> that in the second sem<strong>es</strong>ter of<br />

2009 carried more passengers than in the same<br />

sem<strong>es</strong>ter the previous year, throughout <strong>Aena</strong><br />

2. Increase from 15% to 30% on the islander discounts<br />

for mainland fl ights in landing, passenger<br />

and security charg<strong>es</strong>, in the Canary Islands, Balearic<br />

Islands and Melilla, from July 1st to December<br />

31st 2009


3. Also, as of October 25th 2009 a new 50% discount<br />

was applied to landing and passenger<br />

charg<strong>es</strong> on European Community and international<br />

fl ights, during off-peak days of the week<br />

at all Canary Island airports. This measure is d<strong>es</strong>igned<br />

to capture air traffi c not originating in the<br />

Canary Islands, particularly European Community<br />

and international passengers.<br />

Th<strong>es</strong>e discounts on airport charg<strong>es</strong> entailed 23.6 million<br />

euros l<strong>es</strong>s revenue for <strong>Aena</strong>.<br />

8.3. INCOME FROM SALES<br />

In the month of June 2009, as part of the organizational<br />

modifi cations enacted and for the purpose of<br />

boosting retail activity and income, the Directorate of<br />

Commercial Spac<strong>es</strong> and Servic<strong>es</strong> was integrated into<br />

the Directorate of Spanish Airports.<br />

The following are the most outstanding actions carried<br />

out in 2009 with regard to retail infrastructure development:<br />

Barcelona Airport’s new Terminal 1 was launched<br />

in June 2009 opening a shopping area of approximately<br />

26,000 m2: 8,427 m2 for dining,<br />

6,459 m2 for shops, 1.992 m2 for duty-free<br />

shops, 6,605 m2 for VIP loung<strong>es</strong>, 2,583 m2 for<br />

the Busin<strong>es</strong>s Centre, 5 car hire points and a VIP<br />

car park.<br />

The shopping area of Fuerteventura Airport was<br />

remodelled in April 2009: 11 new retail outlets in<br />

2,000 m2 of new shopping space.<br />

The fi rst phase of the remodelling of Ibiza Airport’s<br />

shopping are was completed in May 2009: 8 new<br />

retail outlets in nearly 1,000 m2 of newly renovated<br />

shopping space.<br />

Construction at Malaga Airport, pertaining to the<br />

opening of the New Terminal Area, projected for<br />

March 2010<br />

In May 2009 a property assignment contract was<br />

signed with C<strong>es</strong>sna for a 61,805 m2 plot at Valencia<br />

Airport (34,589 m2 of land zoned for development<br />

and 27.216 m2 of paved surface).<br />

The development of an industrial area at Jerez<br />

Airport for the installation of aeronautical compani<strong>es</strong><br />

began in July 2009 with the assignment<br />

of 15,000 m2 to the company Atlántica Composite<br />

S.A.<br />

In 2009 <strong>Aena</strong>’s income from sal<strong>es</strong> decreased by 5.7%<br />

from the previous year (34.78 million euros l<strong>es</strong>s), totalling<br />

572.23 million euros. Considering the fact that<br />

traffi c fell by 8% in 2009, the sal<strong>es</strong> revenue per passenger<br />

ratio was 3.08 euros, which entailed a 2.52%<br />

increase over the previous year.<br />

In general terms, it is important to underscore the contribution<br />

of the 2009 sal<strong>es</strong> revenu<strong>es</strong> of the network’s<br />

seven major airports (Madrid-Barajas, 26.7%; Barcelona,<br />

17.5%; Palma de Mallorca, 8%; Malaga, 7.8%;<br />

Alicante, 5.7%; Tenerife Sur, 4.6% and Gran Canaria,<br />

4.4%), which entailed almost 75% of the total.<br />

Moreover, the proc<strong>es</strong>s<strong>es</strong> and procedur<strong>es</strong> conducted by<br />

airport managers to control busin<strong>es</strong>s income were redefi<br />

ned. This action allows improving the control and<br />

monitoring of retail activity.<br />

9. PEOPLE<br />

Legal information<br />

Management Report<br />

Since people are the organization’s great<strong>es</strong>t asset, <strong>Aena</strong>’s<br />

basic objectiv<strong>es</strong> in this area are as follows: to improve<br />

personal development; to increase personal mo-<br />

Annual report 2009 285

Management Report<br />

tivation and satisfaction; to increase safety through occupational<br />

risk prevention; to improve administrative<br />

procedur<strong>es</strong> and management control in the human r<strong>es</strong>ourc<strong>es</strong><br />

area and to automate the human r<strong>es</strong>ourc<strong>es</strong><br />

management systems.<br />

Signifi cant events in 2009 included the negotiation<br />

and eventual signing on July 17th 2009 of <strong>Aena</strong>’s 5th<br />

collective bargaining agreement, which will be in force<br />

until December 31st 2014. The principal novel featur<strong>es</strong><br />

of this agreement are:<br />

Standardization of the internal and external selection<br />

proc<strong>es</strong>s<strong>es</strong>.<br />

Inclusion of a clause for application to the organizations<br />

that may be created in future, in anticipation<br />

of <strong>Aena</strong>’s new management model.<br />

D<strong>es</strong>cription of an equality plan and new measur<strong>es</strong><br />

for work and family balance.<br />

9.1 STAFF<br />

<strong>Aena</strong>’s permanent staff on December 31st 2009<br />

consisted of 11,493 workers, 6,749 of whom belong<br />

to Airports, 4,145 to Air Navigation (2,357<br />

controllers) and 599 to Corporate Units. The public<br />

employment offer approved by <strong>Aena</strong> in 2009 comprised<br />

185 jobs, covering 100% of fire-fighting service<br />

and air traffic controller vacanci<strong>es</strong> since it is<br />

considered that th<strong>es</strong>e jobs directly affect aviation<br />

safety, and 30% of vacanci<strong>es</strong> in the remaining collectiv<strong>es</strong>,<br />

as is required in the Law on General State<br />

Budgets for 2009. Moreover, 13 jobs were r<strong>es</strong>erved<br />

for disabled persons, in keeping with the measur<strong>es</strong><br />

aimed at integrating persons with disabiliti<strong>es</strong> according<br />

to the terms of the provisions of article 59<br />

of Law 7/2007 of the Public Employment Statute,<br />

of April 12 th .<br />

Annual report 2009<br />

9.2. RECRUITMENT<br />

The main actions carried out consisted in posting job<br />

openings for university graduat<strong>es</strong> and non-graduat<strong>es</strong><br />

at different workplac<strong>es</strong> to be fi lled through external<br />

recruitment or in-house staff members. Specifi cally,<br />

256 job openings were posted for university graduat<strong>es</strong><br />

and 705 for non-graduat<strong>es</strong>.<br />

9.3. HUMAN RESOURCES<br />

MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS<br />

The following noteworthy improvements were implemented:<br />

Decentralization of the Social Security contributions<br />

at the airports.<br />

Integration between SAP and RED of the needed<br />

functions for online reporting to Social Security<br />

about temporary sick leav<strong>es</strong>.<br />

The hours and shifts management system was enhanced<br />

with tools that improve daily performance<br />

and subsequent use of the information, such as planning<br />

shifts for the preparation of work schedul<strong>es</strong>.<br />

In order to continue providing the employee website<br />

with content that facilitat<strong>es</strong> management tasks for<br />

human r<strong>es</strong>ourc<strong>es</strong> directors as well as for employe<strong>es</strong>,<br />

the prototype phase of a scenario for requ<strong>es</strong>ting leave<br />

and holidays was implemented at various centr<strong>es</strong><br />

The rul<strong>es</strong> and procedur<strong>es</strong> for all th<strong>es</strong>e automation<br />

measur<strong>es</strong> were refl ected in the management<br />

guidebooks begun in 2008. Subsequently, any<br />

training and support s<strong>es</strong>sions nec<strong>es</strong>sary for the correct<br />

application of the new functions were provided at the<br />

workplac<strong>es</strong> through the user servic<strong>es</strong> centre.<br />

Proper improvements were made in the travel expens<strong>es</strong>


system for the application of the new travel policy<br />

for <strong>Aena</strong> employe<strong>es</strong>. In this regard, total expens<strong>es</strong> of<br />

secondment were reduced by 25% as compared to<br />

2008. Further reductions were made in the number of<br />

hours (1.5% l<strong>es</strong>s than in 2008), and the absentee rate<br />

(7.4% down from 2008).<br />

9.4. ORGANIZATIONAL AREA<br />

The following actions can be highlighted:<br />

Using criteria of effi ciency and cost containment,<br />

progr<strong>es</strong>s continued to be made to develop <strong>Aena</strong>’s<br />

organizational structure in order to align it with the<br />

new demands on the company. Thus, efforts were<br />

made to begin to adapt the organizational structur<strong>es</strong><br />

of the workplac<strong>es</strong> to the requirements arising<br />

from the implementation of the Safety Management<br />

System.<br />

The Performance Management System was consolidated<br />

as a fundamental tool for evaluating the<br />

objectiv<strong>es</strong> and r<strong>es</strong>ults of our prof<strong>es</strong>sionals, with direct<br />

consequenc<strong>es</strong> regarding compensation, promotion<br />

and training. Not only do<strong>es</strong> this system entail<br />

a change in management, but also a cultural<br />

change and a way of working based on accountability<br />

that nec<strong>es</strong>sarily originat<strong>es</strong> greater commitment<br />

to the organization’s objectiv<strong>es</strong>.<br />

New steps forward are being taken to improve the<br />

procedur<strong>es</strong> and mechanisms of the current performance<br />

management control system, which allows<br />

identifying and analyzing problems, monitoring them<br />

and proposing solutions to improve management.<br />

9.5. TRAINING<br />

The training activity was coordinated by three training<br />

Legal information<br />

Management Report<br />

units: Training Division, Prof<strong>es</strong>sional Development Division<br />

(Air Navigation) and Executive Development Division.<br />

The total number of hours of training provided<br />

amounted to 329,577 hours. 94% of personnel attached<br />

to th<strong>es</strong>e units received at least one training<br />

course (counting the online cours<strong>es</strong>).<br />

The expens<strong>es</strong> directly associated with the training activiti<strong>es</strong><br />

of the three units added up to 3.3 million euros.<br />

As in previous years, <strong>Aena</strong> benefi ted from the FTFE (Tripartite<br />

Foundation for On-the-Job Training) for needed<br />

training plans in 2009. The Spanish unemployment<br />

offi ce granted <strong>Aena</strong> a subsidy of 1,147,879 euros for<br />

2009, which were deducted from the Social Security<br />

contributions, and repr<strong>es</strong>ented approximately 34% of<br />

the cost incurred in training over the year.<br />

The most signifi cant endeavours in the training area in<br />

2009 are enumerated below:<br />

The following online cours<strong>es</strong> were taught: “Safety<br />

Management System” and “Basic course for personnel<br />

of local security offi ce”. The cours<strong>es</strong> taught<br />

in classrooms were “Ass<strong>es</strong>sment of Accidents and<br />

Incidents” and “Supervision of Airport SMS”, for<br />

those in charge of airport operational safety.<br />

The fi rst cours<strong>es</strong> for in-house monitors were<br />

taught.<br />

The Barcelona Technical Training Centre was<br />

opened, and the fi rst specifi c training cours<strong>es</strong> were<br />

given to airport maintenance personnel.<br />

The fi rst training cours<strong>es</strong> with Sila (simulator of airport<br />

electrical systems) were taught at classrooms<br />

located in Madrid-Barajas Airport.<br />

The training associated with the Barcelona Plan<br />

Annual report 2009 287


288<br />

Legal information<br />

Management Report<br />

was completed and the training associated with<br />

the Malaga Plan began.<br />

In the area of Air Navigation the technical operations<br />

training plan was set in motion; the manuals<br />

and CBT were d<strong>es</strong>igned and developed for the<br />

basic training pertaining to the plan. Furthermore,<br />

the training activity “On-the-Job Learning” was<br />

given as part of training for control prof<strong>es</strong>sionals.<br />

And the online course “On-the-Job Supervision”<br />

was d<strong>es</strong>igned and developed.<br />

In the realm of executive and managerial development,<br />

it is of note that within the area of airport<br />

security, the specifi c training course “Advanced<br />

Course for Company Security Directors” was given<br />

to provide <strong>Aena</strong> security directors with security<br />

management skills.<br />

9.6. CORPORATE BENEFITS AND<br />

SOCIAL PROJECTS<br />

The Corporate Benefi ts and Social Projects area continued<br />

to implement new social projects during the year<br />

2009, notably:<br />

The project “Solidarity Space”, which consisted in<br />

assigning stands free of charge in the public areas<br />

of airports to social welfare groups (NGOs, foundations<br />

and associations), so they could publicize their<br />

campaigns and share their information and missions<br />

in a populous environment. During 2009 the<br />

solidarity spac<strong>es</strong> of Madrid-Barajas, Valencia, Malaga<br />

and Palma de Mallorca were used for 211 days.<br />

Implementation of the volunteer programme<br />

through the Employee Service Programme (PAE).<br />

Volunteer projects were undertaken in conjunction<br />

with the Luis Viv<strong>es</strong> shelter in Vicálvaro (Madrid).<br />

Annual report 2009<br />

Holding “Solidarity Days” for the second time, in<br />

conjunction with all <strong>Aena</strong>’s centr<strong>es</strong> in Madrid (5<br />

participating centr<strong>es</strong> and 15 organizations invited<br />

to the event) in June and December r<strong>es</strong>pectively<br />

(two days in June and three in December).<br />

Also, <strong>Aena</strong> continued its addictive behaviour treatment<br />

and prevention programme and its emotional<br />

support and health education programm<strong>es</strong>. Of special<br />

note here is <strong>Aena</strong>’s ongoing collaborative agreement<br />

with Proyecto Hombre (an organization promoting the<br />

prevention of substance abuse) to foster information,<br />

prevention and education in this fi eld.<br />

In the development of the work and family balance<br />

policy the employee service programme provided support<br />

on 2,800 occasions during 2009. Also in this<br />

sphere a summer camp was organized in conjunction<br />

with the <strong>Aena</strong> centr<strong>es</strong> in Madrid. More than 100 children<br />

participated in the camp, which was compatible<br />

with the summer work schedule of <strong>Aena</strong> employe<strong>es</strong>.<br />

Agreements were <strong>es</strong>tablished with different organizations<br />

involved with the disabled. The organizations<br />

that benefi t from th<strong>es</strong>e agreements made pursuant<br />

to the Law on Integration of Persons with Disabiliti<strong>es</strong><br />

were: Afanias, Asociación Danza Down, Fundación<br />

Dal<strong>es</strong> la Palabra, Asociación A Toda Vela, Apmib and<br />

Apsuria. In conjunction with th<strong>es</strong>e organizations the<br />

fi rst social month was scheduled, and social, cultural<br />

and sport activiti<strong>es</strong> with persons with disabiliti<strong>es</strong> were<br />

held in October and November 2009.<br />

An increased benefi t of the life insurance and accident<br />

policy went into effect on September 1st 2009, as coverage<br />

for severe disablement was included.<br />

With regard to the pension plan, during 2009 <strong>Aena</strong><br />

made contributions worth 6.06 million euros and benefi<br />

t payments totalling 1.7 million euros. At year-end<br />

the fi nal balance of the pension plan amounted to


48.03 million euros and there were 10,684 benefi ciari<strong>es</strong>.<br />

The pension plan has become a joint enterprise<br />

with the holding compani<strong>es</strong> <strong>Aena</strong> D<strong>es</strong>arrollo Internacional<br />

and Centros Logísticas Aeroportuarios.<br />

9.7. ENDEAVOURS REGARDING<br />

HUMAN RESOURCES IN AIR<br />

NAVIGATION<br />

The endeavours of this programme are geared toward<br />

achieving improved productivity by agreeing on<br />

chang<strong>es</strong> in the framework for negotiating new collective<br />

bargaining agreements in general and specifi cally<br />

that of controllers. They are simultaneously aimed<br />

at improving the management and prof<strong>es</strong>sional development<br />

of Air Navigation employe<strong>es</strong>. The programme<br />

embrac<strong>es</strong> the implementation of the European rul<strong>es</strong>,<br />

the current fi nancial situation of the industry and<br />

worldwide, and the integration of a possible new <strong>Aena</strong><br />

model.<br />

Improved productivity<br />

Improvement of attendance: as of December 1st 2009<br />

all Air Navigation employe<strong>es</strong> must clock in when arriving<br />

and leaving.<br />

Negotiation of compensation associated to productivity<br />

in <strong>Aena</strong>’s 5th collective bargaining agreement:<br />

the negotiation of <strong>Aena</strong>’s 5th collective bargaining<br />

agreement included discussion about the possibility<br />

of reinforcing strategic goal deployment for nonmanagerial<br />

personnel.<br />

Several rounds of negotiation were held for the II CC<br />

Control under the premis<strong>es</strong> of increased productivity<br />

and cost containment, and increased fl exibility in the<br />

management of the proc<strong>es</strong>s<strong>es</strong> of recruitment, prof<strong>es</strong>sional<br />

careers, collective bargaining, work organization,<br />

work hours and breaks, and economic compensation.<br />

Prof<strong>es</strong>sional Development<br />

In 2009 the internal proc<strong>es</strong>s<strong>es</strong> for concluding the<br />

transitory phase of organizing the controller staff<br />

into groups were performed at the control centr<strong>es</strong><br />

of Madrid and Barcelona.<br />

In 2009 the training associated with the prof<strong>es</strong>sional<br />

career and language skills of controllers was<br />

offered for certain controller positions.<br />

Throughout 2009 the cours<strong>es</strong> for maintenance personnel<br />

by areas were d<strong>es</strong>igned (SES “qualifi cation<br />

seri<strong>es</strong>”). They will begin to be offered at a later date.<br />

Improved Management<br />

Legal information<br />

Management Report<br />

In the fi rst sem<strong>es</strong>ter of 2009 several s<strong>es</strong>sions were<br />

held at central servic<strong>es</strong> of Air Navigation and in its<br />

5 regional directorat<strong>es</strong> to instil concepts of fi nancial<br />

and human r<strong>es</strong>ourc<strong>es</strong> management.<br />

In 2009 the round of visits to the 5 regional directorat<strong>es</strong><br />

to draw up a specifi c report on the strengths and weakn<strong>es</strong>s<strong>es</strong><br />

of the shift-scheduling proc<strong>es</strong>s was concluded.<br />

10. FORESEEABLE PROSPECTS<br />

D<strong>es</strong>pite the downturn in passenger traffi c and operations<br />

which took place during the fi nancial year, along with the<br />

slump in air traffi c worldwide, the Group’s prospects of<br />

long-term growth are satisfactory in all its lin<strong>es</strong> of busin<strong>es</strong>s<br />

owing to the anticipated growth of the activiti<strong>es</strong> pertaining<br />

to them. This will enable carrying out the inv<strong>es</strong>tment<br />

plan commissioned by the Ministry of Public Works and<br />

Transport to achieve the objectiv<strong>es</strong> of quality, safety, performance<br />

and competitiven<strong>es</strong>s of the Spanish air transport<br />

infrastructur<strong>es</strong> with the high standards required for<br />

the socioeconomic development the country needs.<br />

1. GROUP ACTIVITIES<br />

AND STRUCTURE<br />

Entidad Pública Empr<strong>es</strong>arial “<strong>Aeropuertos</strong> <strong>Español<strong>es</strong></strong><br />

y <strong>Navegación</strong> <strong>Aérea</strong> (AENA)” (“AENA” or “the Entity”)<br />

was set up under Article 82 of State Budget Law<br />

4/1990, of 29 June. It was effectively formed on 19<br />

June 1991 following the entry into force of its bylaws,<br />

which were approved by Royal Decree 905/1991, of<br />

14 June.<br />

The Entity is structured as a public law entity attached<br />

to the Ministry of Public Works with its own legal personality<br />

independent from that of the State, and carri<strong>es</strong><br />

on its busin<strong>es</strong>s activity within the framework of<br />

the Government’s general transport policy.<br />

Its bylaws, approved by Royal Decree 905/1991, of 14<br />

June, were subsequently amended by Royal Decree<br />

1993/1996, of 6 September, Royal Decree 1711/1997,<br />

of 14 November, and Royal Decree 2825/1998, of 23<br />

December.<br />

Its company object, per its bylaws, is as follows:<br />

1. The organisation, management, coordination, operation,<br />

upkeep and administration of civilian public<br />

airports and of the related servic<strong>es</strong>, and the<br />

coordination, operation, upkeep and administration<br />

of civilian areas at air bas<strong>es</strong> open to civil aviation<br />

traffi c.<br />

2. The d<strong>es</strong>ign, execution, management and control<br />

of inv<strong>es</strong>tments in airport infrastructure and faciliti<strong>es</strong>.<br />

3. The organisation, management, coordination,<br />

operation, upkeep and administration of aeronautical<br />

telecommunications system faciliti<strong>es</strong> and<br />

networks, navigation aids and air traffi c control.<br />

Annual report 2009<br />

4. The d<strong>es</strong>ign, execution, management and control<br />

of inv<strong>es</strong>tments in aeronautical telecommunications<br />

system infrastructur<strong>es</strong>, faciliti<strong>es</strong> and networks, navigation<br />

aids and air traffi c control.<br />

5. The submission of proposals for the planning of<br />

new airport and air navigation infrastructure and<br />

the modifi cation of air space.<br />

6. The development of security servic<strong>es</strong> at airports<br />

and control centr<strong>es</strong> and participation in specifi c<br />

training relating to air transport and subject to the<br />

grant of offi cial licens<strong>es</strong>, all without detriment to<br />

the functions assigned to the Spanish Directorate-<br />

General of Civil Aviation.<br />

7. Equity inv<strong>es</strong>tments in other compani<strong>es</strong> or entiti<strong>es</strong><br />

related to its activiti<strong>es</strong> that have a different object.<br />

Servic<strong>es</strong> were fi rst provided at Spanish airports in November<br />

1991, and the provision of servic<strong>es</strong> relating<br />

to navigation aids and air traffi c control commenced<br />

in November 1992, when the formation of the Entity<br />

was completed.<br />

<strong>Aena</strong> is currently in the proc<strong>es</strong>s of developing a new<br />

airport management model, the main components of<br />

which are as summarised:<br />

- <strong>Aena</strong> remains a public law entity with air navigation<br />

competenci<strong>es</strong>, and is guaranteed the mechanisms required<br />

to carry out its obligations in relation to the security,<br />

continuity, competitiven<strong>es</strong>s and effi ciency of the<br />

in its productivity.<br />

- Creation of the state company, <strong>Aena</strong> <strong>Aeropuertos</strong>,<br />

S.A. to be r<strong>es</strong>ponsible for the management of the current<br />

airport network, in which <strong>Aena</strong> will hold at least<br />

70% of the share capital. This company will basically<br />

be competent to render all airport servic<strong>es</strong> (except


airport navigation servic<strong>es</strong> or those relating to other<br />

state agenci<strong>es</strong> such as customs or security, for example),<br />

manage and maintain the airport infrastructure<br />

corr<strong>es</strong>ponding to its scope of management, plan and<br />

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION<br />

A) FAIR PRESENTATION<br />

The consolidated fi nancial statements for 2008 were<br />

pr<strong>es</strong>ented by the Chairman and General Manager of the<br />

Parent from the accounting records of Entidad Pública<br />

Empr<strong>es</strong>arial “<strong>Aeropuertos</strong> <strong>Español<strong>es</strong></strong> y <strong>Navegación</strong> <strong>Aérea</strong><br />

(AENA)” and of its subsidiari<strong>es</strong> (see Note 1), whose r<strong>es</strong>pective<br />

fi nancial statements are prepared by the directors<br />

of each company and are pr<strong>es</strong>ented in accordance<br />

with Royal Decree 1514/2007 approving the Spanish National<br />

Chart of Accounts and other applicable accounting<br />

legislation and, accordingly, they pr<strong>es</strong>ent fairly the<br />

Group’s consolidated equity and fi nancial position, the<br />

r<strong>es</strong>ults of its operations and its consolidated cash fl ows.<br />

Th<strong>es</strong>e consolidated fi nancial statements will be submitted<br />

for approval by the Board of Directors of the<br />

Parent and it is considered that they will be approved<br />

without any chang<strong>es</strong>. The fi nancial statements for<br />

2008 were approved by the Board of Directors of the<br />

Parent at the meeting held on 24 June 2009.<br />

B) NON-OBLIGATORY ACCOUNTING<br />

PRINCIPLES APPLIED<br />

Th<strong>es</strong>e consolidated fi nancial statements were prepared<br />

by taking into account all the obligatory accounting<br />

principl<strong>es</strong> and standards with a signifi cant effect hereon.<br />

All obligatory accounting principl<strong>es</strong> were applied<br />

C) ) KEY ISSUES IN RELATION TO THE<br />

MEASUREMENT AND ESTIMATION<br />

OF UNCERTAINTY<br />

In preparing the accompanying consolidated fi nancial<br />

Legal Information<br />

Consolidated Financial Statements<br />

statements <strong>es</strong>timat<strong>es</strong> were made by the Group compani<strong>es</strong>’<br />

directors in order to measure certain of the assets,<br />

liabiliti<strong>es</strong>, income, expens<strong>es</strong> and obligations reported<br />

herein. Th<strong>es</strong>e <strong>es</strong>timat<strong>es</strong> relate basically to the following:<br />

The ass<strong>es</strong>sment of possible impairment loss<strong>es</strong> on<br />

certain assets (see Note 4)<br />

The useful life of property, plant and equipment<br />

and intangible assets (see Note 4)<br />

The calculation of provisions (see Note 13)<br />

Revenue and the costs associated with contracts<br />

for the provision of servic<strong>es</strong> (see Note 4).<br />

The assumptions used in the actuarial calculation<br />

of the liabiliti<strong>es</strong> for obligations to employe<strong>es</strong> (see<br />

Note 13).<br />

The market value of certain fi nancial instruments<br />

(see Note 10).<br />

Although th<strong>es</strong>e <strong>es</strong>timat<strong>es</strong> were made on the basis of<br />

the b<strong>es</strong>t information available at 2009 year-end, events<br />

that take place in the future might make it nec<strong>es</strong>sary<br />

to change th<strong>es</strong>e <strong>es</strong>timat<strong>es</strong> (upwards or downwards) in<br />

coming years. Chang<strong>es</strong> in accounting <strong>es</strong>timat<strong>es</strong> would<br />

be applied prospectively.<br />

In this regard, Royal Decree-Law 1/2010, of 5 February,<br />

regulating the provision of air traffi c servic<strong>es</strong>, stipulating<br />

the obligations of civil providers of the aforementioned<br />

servic<strong>es</strong>, and setting specifi c working conditions<br />

for civil air traffi c controllers, provid<strong>es</strong>, inter alia, that<br />

until three years from its entry into force have elapsed,<br />

the right to receive the Special Paid Leave (Licencia Especial<br />

Retribuida) is suspended, and no further employe<strong>es</strong><br />

may avail themselv<strong>es</strong> of the aforementioned<br />

situation, whether it has been already requ<strong>es</strong>ted or<br />

not. In addition, the bill which will regulate the pro-<br />

Consolidated Financial Statements<br />

vision of air traffi c servic<strong>es</strong> is currently being drafted,<br />

and its content could signifi cantly affect the regime<br />

applicable to Special Paid Leave.<br />

At 31 December 2009, the Group had a working capital<br />

defi ciency of EUR 2,262 million and a loss for the year of<br />

EUR 344 million. In order to meet its inv<strong>es</strong>tment commitments<br />

and settle its liabiliti<strong>es</strong>, the Group has credit lin<strong>es</strong><br />

and undrawn loans of EUR 1,674 million (see Note 14), in<br />

addition to the cash fl ows that will be generated in 2009.<br />

Also, under the “Framework Agreement to fi nance the<br />

Strategic Plan for Infrastructur<strong>es</strong> and Transport” (PEIT)<br />

between the Ministry of Public Works and the European<br />

Inv<strong>es</strong>tment Bank (EIB) of 4 July 2006, the Parent may opt<br />

to arrange supplementary fi nancing of EUR 600 million<br />

subject to the EIB’s positive ass<strong>es</strong>sment of the projects for<br />

which the fi nancing is requ<strong>es</strong>ted. In view of the foregoing,<br />

the Parent’s directors consider that it will not have<br />

any diffi culti<strong>es</strong> in fulfi lling its obligations.<br />

The Group carried out the relevant impairment t<strong>es</strong>ts<br />

according to the procedure d<strong>es</strong>cribed in Note 4-a,<br />

which did not disclose any material impairment loss<strong>es</strong>.<br />

D) COMPARATIVE INFORMATION<br />

The information relating to 2008 included in th<strong>es</strong>e<br />

not<strong>es</strong> to the consolidated fi nancial statements is pr<strong>es</strong>ented<br />

exclusively for comparison purpos<strong>es</strong> with the<br />

information for 2009.<br />

E) GROUPING OF ITEMS<br />

Certain items in the consolidated balance sheet, consolidated<br />

income statement, consolidated statement<br />

of chang<strong>es</strong> in equity and consolidated statement of<br />

cash fl ows are grouped together to facilitate their<br />

understanding; however, whenever the amounts involved<br />

are material, the obligatory information is bro-<br />

Annual report 2009<br />

ken down in the related not<strong>es</strong> to the consolidated<br />

fi nancial statements.<br />

F) CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES<br />

In 2009 the Parent recognised an increase of EUR<br />

34,666 thousand in the EU grants recognised in equity,<br />

since they met the requirements to be considered refundable<br />

as a r<strong>es</strong>ult of the approval of Ministry of Economy<br />

and Finance Order EHA/733/2010, of 25 March,<br />

approving accounting matters relating to public-sector<br />

compani<strong>es</strong> operating in specifi c circumstanc<strong>es</strong>. Pursuant<br />

to this Order, the Company opted not to adapt the<br />

comparative information to the new polici<strong>es</strong>.<br />

G) CORRECTION OF ERRORS<br />

The Parent recognised adjustments of EUR 13,082<br />

thousand in the accompanying fi nancial statements<br />

for the following items:<br />

- The impact of fi ling supplementary income tax returns<br />

for prior years in 2009, which gave rise to a negative<br />

adjustment in equity of EUR 9,412 thousand (see<br />

Note 13.1).<br />

- The difference between the provision for income tax<br />

payable recognised in 2008 and the income tax return<br />

that was fi nally settled in 2009. Consequently, equity<br />

decreased by EUR 3,670 thousand (see Note 13.1).<br />

H) CONSOLIDATION METHODS<br />

The consolidation was carried out, in accordance with<br />

current legislation, by applying the following methods:<br />

1. Compani<strong>es</strong> over which “<strong>Aeropuertos</strong> <strong>Español<strong>es</strong></strong> y<br />

<strong>Navegación</strong> <strong>Aérea</strong> (AENA)” exercis<strong>es</strong> control are


deemed to be subsidiari<strong>es</strong>. The fi nancial statements<br />

of the subsidiari<strong>es</strong> are fully consolidated.<br />

In 2009 Ingeniería y Economía del Transporte<br />

S.A., Centros Logísticos Aeroportuarios S.A., <strong>Aena</strong><br />

D<strong>es</strong>arrollo Internacional S.A. and Centro de<br />

Referencia Inv<strong>es</strong>tigación, D<strong>es</strong>arrollo e Innovación<br />

ATM, A.I.E. were in this position.<br />

2. Compani<strong>es</strong> over which the Entity has the capacity<br />

to exercise signifi cant infl uence are deemed to<br />

be associat<strong>es</strong>. Th<strong>es</strong>e compani<strong>es</strong> are accounted for<br />

using the equity method. In 2009 R<strong>es</strong>tauración de<br />

<strong>Aeropuertos</strong> <strong>Español<strong>es</strong></strong> S.A., Tecnología e Inv<strong>es</strong>tigación<br />

Ferroviaria S.A., <strong>Aeropuertos</strong> Mexicanos<br />

del Pacífi co S.A. de CV, <strong>Aeropuertos</strong> del Caribe<br />

S.A., Sociedad Aeroportuaria de la Costa S.A. and<br />

Aerocali S.A. were in this position.<br />

In all cas<strong>es</strong> the fi nancial statements of the Group compani<strong>es</strong><br />

used in the proc<strong>es</strong>s of consolidation are those<br />

for the year ended 31 December 2009.<br />

The profi t or loss on the transactions of compani<strong>es</strong> that<br />

were acquired or disposed of was included from the date<br />

of acquisition or up to the date of disposal, r<strong>es</strong>pectively.<br />

For the purpos<strong>es</strong> of the accompanying consolidated fi -<br />

nancial statements, the date of fi rst-time consolidation<br />

for each subsidiary was deemed to be that on which it<br />

joined the Group. The date of fi rst-time consolidation<br />

for the subsidiary CRIDA, which was consolidated for<br />

the fi rst time after the date of transition, was deemed<br />

to be the date on which control was obtained.<br />

Balanc<strong>es</strong> and transactions between compani<strong>es</strong><br />

included in the scope of consolidation<br />

Material transactions and accounts receivable and payable<br />

between Entidad Pública Empr<strong>es</strong>arial “<strong>Aeropuertos</strong> <strong>Español<strong>es</strong></strong><br />

y <strong>Navegación</strong> <strong>Aérea</strong> (AENA)” and its subsidiari<strong>es</strong> at<br />

31 December 2009 were eliminated on consolidation.<br />

Standardisation of accounting principl<strong>es</strong><br />

In order to uniformly pr<strong>es</strong>ent the items included in the<br />

accompanying consolidated fi nancial statements, the<br />

same methods were applied to all the compani<strong>es</strong> included<br />

in the scope of consolidation.<br />

Minority inter<strong>es</strong>ts<br />

The share of third parti<strong>es</strong> in the equity and profi t/loss<br />

of compani<strong>es</strong> that were fully consolidated is shown<br />

under “Equity - Minority Inter<strong>es</strong>ts” in the consolidated<br />

balance sheet and under “Loss Attributable to Minority<br />

Inter<strong>es</strong>ts” in the accompanying 2009 consolidated<br />

income statement, r<strong>es</strong>pectively.<br />

Translation methods (year-end rate method)<br />

The fi nancial statements of the Colombian associat<strong>es</strong><br />

<strong>Aeropuertos</strong> del Caribe S.A., Sociedad Aeroportuaria<br />

de la Costa S.A. and Aerocali S.A. and the Mexican<br />

associate <strong>Aeropuertos</strong> Mexicanos del Pacífi co S.A. de<br />

CV were translated to euros at the exchange rat<strong>es</strong> ruling<br />

at year-end, by applying the following procedure:<br />

1. The asset and liability items of the foreign company<br />

were translated at the exchange rate ruling<br />

at the reporting date of the company in qu<strong>es</strong>tion.<br />

2. The equity items of the foreign company were<br />

translated at the historical exchange rat<strong>es</strong> prevailing<br />

at the date on which the item was included in<br />

the company’s equity.<br />

3. Income-statement items were translated at the<br />

average exchange rate for the year.<br />

The differenc<strong>es</strong> accumulated at the date of transition<br />

as a r<strong>es</strong>ult of the application of this translation<br />

method were deemed to be r<strong>es</strong>erv<strong>es</strong> of the inv<strong>es</strong>tor.<br />

The translation differenc<strong>es</strong> arising in the year were<br />

4.MEASUREMENT BASES<br />

(352,899)<br />

(352,899)<br />

The principal measurement bas<strong>es</strong> applied by the Company<br />

and its Subsidiari<strong>es</strong> (AENA Group) in preparing their consolidated<br />

fi nancial statements for 2009, in accordance with<br />

the Spanish National Chart of Accounts, were as follows:<br />

A) INMOVILIZACIONES INTANGIBLES<br />

Intangible assets are recognised at acquisition, production<br />

cost or their saleable assignment value. Amortisation<br />

is calculated on a straight-line basis based<br />

on the useful liv<strong>es</strong> of the related assets at the following<br />

rat<strong>es</strong>:<br />

Development expenditure 25<br />

Computer software 17-25<br />

Other intangible assets 12.5-25<br />

Development expenditure, specifi cally itemised by<br />

project, which is, or will for<strong>es</strong>eeably be economically<br />

and fi nancially profi table and technically succ<strong>es</strong>sful, is<br />

capitalised and amortised over a period of four years<br />

from the date of completion. If there are chang<strong>es</strong> in<br />

the favourable circumstanc<strong>es</strong> of the project that made<br />

it possible to capitalise th<strong>es</strong>e expens<strong>es</strong>, the unamortised<br />

portion is charged to income in the year in which<br />

th<strong>es</strong>e conditions change.<br />

“Computer Software” relat<strong>es</strong> to the amounts paid to<br />

acquire and develop certain computer programm<strong>es</strong>.<br />

Computer software maintenance costs are recognised<br />

with a charge to the income statement for the year in<br />

which they are incurred.<br />

The Parent capitalis<strong>es</strong> mainly its airports’ Master Plans<br />

and the related studi<strong>es</strong> under “Other Intangible Assets”,<br />

which are amortised over eight years.<br />

The same polici<strong>es</strong> as those indicated for property, plant<br />

and equipment are also applicable in relation to the<br />

capitalisation of fi nance costs, in-house work, replacements<br />

or renewals and the recognition of gains or loss<strong>es</strong><br />

on disposals.<br />

The gain or loss arising from the disposal of an asset<br />

is calculated as the difference between the sale price<br />

and carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in<br />

the income statement.<br />

The charge to the 2009 consolidated income statement<br />

relating to the amortisation of intangible assets<br />

amounted to EUR 41,845 thousand (EUR 48,161<br />

thousand in 2008)(see Note 5).<br />

%


Impairment of intangible assets and property,<br />

plant and equipment<br />

Whenever there are indications of impairment or at<br />

the end of each reporting period in the case of goodwill<br />

and intangible assets with indefi nite useful liv<strong>es</strong>,<br />

the Group t<strong>es</strong>ts the non-current and intangible assets<br />

for impairment to determine whether the recoverable<br />

amount of the assets has been reduced to below their<br />

carrying amount.<br />

The Group mak<strong>es</strong> a distinction between cash-generating<br />

assets and non-cash-generating assets. Cashgenerating<br />

assets are items of property, plant and<br />

equipment, intangible assets or property owned to obtain<br />

a profi t or generate a commercial return through<br />

the delivery of goods or the provision of servic<strong>es</strong> while<br />

non-cash-generating assets are items owned for a<br />

purpose other than to obtain a commercial return. On<br />

certain occasions, even if an asset is held mainly to<br />

produce social economic fl ows that benefi t the group,<br />

it can also generate a commercial return through part<br />

of its installations or components or through a use<br />

both incidental and different to its main use. When the<br />

cash-generating component or use can be considered<br />

acc<strong>es</strong>sory with r<strong>es</strong>pect to the main objective of the asset<br />

as a whole, or it cannot be operated or exploited<br />

independently from the r<strong>es</strong>t of the components and<br />

installations composing the asset, it is considered as a<br />

whole to be non-cash-generating.<br />

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value l<strong>es</strong>s<br />

costs to sell and value in use.<br />

The Parent performs impairment t<strong>es</strong>ts as follows:<br />

The recoverable amounts are calculated for each<br />

cash generating unit; for the whole airport network<br />

and all the air traffi c control centr<strong>es</strong> and towers<br />

through which the air traffi c control service is<br />

provided.<br />

Legal Information<br />

Consolidated Financial Statements<br />

Management prepar<strong>es</strong> a busin<strong>es</strong>s plan each year<br />

(Pluriannual Action Plan) which generally spans a<br />

period of three years. The main components of this<br />

plan, on which the impairment t<strong>es</strong>t is based, are<br />

as follows:<br />

− Earnings projections.<br />

− Inv<strong>es</strong>tment and working capital projections.<br />

Otras variabl<strong>es</strong> que infl uyen en el cálculo del valor<br />

recuperable son:<br />

− Tipo de d<strong>es</strong>cuento a aplicar, entendiendo éste<br />

como la media ponderada del coste de capital,<br />

siendo las principal<strong>es</strong> variabl<strong>es</strong> que infl uyen en<br />

su cálculo, el coste de los pasivos y los ri<strong>es</strong>gos<br />

<strong>es</strong>pecífi cos de los activos.<br />

− Tasa de crecimiento de los fl ujos de caja empleada<br />

para extrapolar las proyeccion<strong>es</strong> de fl ujos<br />

de efectivo más allá del período cubierto<br />

por los pr<strong>es</strong>upu<strong>es</strong>tos o prevision<strong>es</strong>.<br />

The Pluriannual Action Plans are prepared in accordance<br />

with the b<strong>es</strong>t <strong>es</strong>timat<strong>es</strong> available and are approved<br />

by the Board of Directors.<br />

If an impairment loss has to be recognised, the Group<br />

reduc<strong>es</strong> the carrying amount of the assets in the cash<br />

generating unit down to the limit of the high<strong>es</strong>t of the<br />

following valu<strong>es</strong>: fair value l<strong>es</strong>s costs to sell; value in<br />

use (or, in the case of non-cash-generating assets, depreciated<br />

replacement cost); and zero.<br />

If an impairment loss were to subsequently reverse,<br />

the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating<br />

unit would be increased to the revised <strong>es</strong>timate of its<br />

recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying<br />

amount do<strong>es</strong> not exceed the carrying amount that<br />

would have been determined had no impairment loss<br />

Annual report 2009 303

Consolidated Financial Statements<br />

been recognised in prior years. Such a reversal of an<br />

impairment loss would be recognised as income.<br />

In 2009 no material impairment loss<strong>es</strong> were detected<br />

as a r<strong>es</strong>ult of the preceding analysis.<br />

B) PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT<br />

Property, plant and equipment are pr<strong>es</strong>ented in the consolidated<br />

balance sheet and are measured at acquisition<br />

cost, production cost or saleable assignment value l<strong>es</strong>s<br />

any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment<br />

loss<strong>es</strong>, as indicated in the previous note.<br />

Assigned property, plant and equipment are measured<br />

at their saleable value, which is considered to be the<br />

actual value in use based on an independent appraisal<br />

since, given that they are assigned to the Parent’s assets,<br />

no consideration, which would have enabled the acquisition<br />

cost to be determined, was paid.<br />

Property, plant and equipment additions and purchas<strong>es</strong><br />

made by the Group are measured at acquisition or<br />

production cost and include the environmental costs required<br />

to make them.<br />

Property, plant and equipment additions prior to 31 December<br />

1996 are measured at revalued cost or initial appraisal<br />

value, pursuant to the related enabling legislation.<br />

Inter<strong>es</strong>t and other fi nance costs incurred, directly attributable<br />

to the acquisition or construction of assets at the<br />

various airports, which nec<strong>es</strong>sarily require a period of<br />

at least 12 months to come into operation, are treated<br />

as an addition to the related assets. The assets not included<br />

in the airport network do not include the fi nance<br />

costs related to their fi nancing.<br />

In-house work on non-current assets is measured at<br />

accumulated cost (external costs plus in-house costs,<br />

Annual report 2009<br />

determined on the basis of in-house materials consumption,<br />

direct labour and general manufacturing costs).<br />

Replacements or renewals of complete items that lead<br />

to a lengthening of the useful life of the assets or to an<br />

increase in their economic capacity are accounted for<br />

as additions to property, plant and equipment, and the<br />

items replaced or renewed are derecognised.<br />

Periodic maintenance, upkeep and repair expens<strong>es</strong> are<br />

recognised in the income statement on an accrual basis<br />

as incurred.<br />

The Group depreciat<strong>es</strong> its property, plant and equipment<br />

once they are ready for use by the straight-line method<br />

apportioning the carrying amount of the assets over their<br />

<strong>es</strong>timated useful liv<strong>es</strong>, except in the case of land, which is<br />

considered to have an indefi nite useful life and is therefore<br />

not depreciated. The useful life of the assigned property,<br />

plant and equipment was <strong>es</strong>timated on the basis<br />

of the degree of use of the assets included under each<br />

heading. The years of <strong>es</strong>timated useful life are as follows:<br />

Buildings<br />

YEARS<br />

20-50<br />

Plant 10-20<br />

Machinery 5-25<br />

Other fi xtur<strong>es</strong> 8-20<br />

Furniture 10-13<br />

Other items of property, plant and equipment 4-17<br />

Additionally, when the realisable value of an asset is<br />

l<strong>es</strong>s than its carrying amount, and the difference is not<br />

considered to be fi nal, an allowance is recognised for<br />

the difference. However, if the decrease in value is irreversible<br />

the cost of the asset is reduced directly.<br />

Upkeep and maintenance expens<strong>es</strong> are expensed<br />

when incurred. The costs of renewals, expansion or<br />

improvements leading to increased capacity, productivity<br />

or to a lengthening of the useful liv<strong>es</strong> of the assets<br />

are capitalised.


The charge to the 2009 consolidated income statement<br />

relating to the depreciation of property, plant<br />

and equipment amounted to EUR 752,072 thousand<br />

(EUR 653,153 thousand in 2008)(see Note 6).<br />

C) INVESTMENT PROPERTY<br />

“Inv<strong>es</strong>tment Property” in the consolidated balance<br />

sheet includ<strong>es</strong> the value of buildings, other structur<strong>es</strong><br />

and fi xtur<strong>es</strong> held to earn rentals.<br />

Inv<strong>es</strong>tment property is measured as d<strong>es</strong>cribed in Note<br />

4-b on property, plant and equipment.<br />

The charge to the 2009 consolidated income statement<br />

relating to the depreciation of inv<strong>es</strong>tment property<br />

amounted to EUR 3,402 thousand (EUR 3,008<br />

thousand in 2008)(see Note 7).<br />

D) LEASES<br />

Leas<strong>es</strong> are classifi ed as fi nance leas<strong>es</strong> whenever the<br />

terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks<br />

and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased asset<br />

to the l<strong>es</strong>see. All other leas<strong>es</strong> are classifi ed as operating<br />

leas<strong>es</strong>.<br />

Finance leas<strong>es</strong><br />

In fi nance leas<strong>es</strong> in which the Group acts as the l<strong>es</strong>see,<br />

the cost of the leased assets is pr<strong>es</strong>ented in the consolidated<br />

balance sheet, based on the nature of the<br />

leased asset, and, simultaneously, a liability is recognised<br />

for the same amount. This amount is the lower<br />

of the fair value of the leased asset and the pr<strong>es</strong>ent<br />

value, at the inception of the lease, of the agreed minimum<br />

lease payments, including the price of the purchase<br />

option when it is reasonably certain that it will<br />

be exercised. The minimum lease payments do not<br />

Legal Information<br />

Consolidated Financial Statements<br />

include contingent rent, costs for servic<strong>es</strong> and tax<strong>es</strong><br />

to be paid by and reimbursed to the l<strong>es</strong>sor. The total<br />

fi nance charg<strong>es</strong> arising under the lease are allocated<br />

to the consolidated income statement for the year<br />

in which they are incurred using the effective inter<strong>es</strong>t<br />

method. Contingent rent is recognised as an expense<br />

for the period in which it is incurred.<br />

In particular, the subsidiary <strong>Aena</strong> D<strong>es</strong>arrollo Internacional<br />

arranged a fi nance lease which meets the<br />

abovementioned characteristics, with BBVA acting as<br />

the l<strong>es</strong>sor (see the characteristics of the fi nancing in<br />

Note 14), the purpose of which is the acquisition of<br />

an automated fl ight inspection system (console), at a<br />

cost of EUR 3,551 thousand, which is recognised under<br />

“Property, Plant and Equipment – Other Items of<br />

Property, Plant and Equipment” in the accompanying<br />

consolidated balance sheet at 31 December 2009 (see<br />

Note 6). The subsidiary <strong>Aena</strong> D<strong>es</strong>arrollo Internacional<br />

is depreciating this asset over its <strong>es</strong>timated useful life,<br />

i.e. over approximately ten years.<br />

Operating leas<strong>es</strong><br />

Lease income and expens<strong>es</strong> from operating leas<strong>es</strong> corr<strong>es</strong>ponding<br />

to the l<strong>es</strong>see are recognised in the consolidated<br />

income statement on an accrual basis.<br />

The acquisition cost of the leased assets is pr<strong>es</strong>ented<br />

in the consolidated balance sheet according to the nature<br />

of the asset, increased by the costs directly attributable<br />

to the lease, which are recognised as an<br />

expense over the lease term, applying the same method<br />

as that used to recognise lease income.<br />

Any collection or payment that might be made when<br />

arranging an operating lease will be treated as a prepaid<br />

lease collection or payment which will be allocated<br />

to profi t or loss over the lease term.<br />

E) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS<br />

E-1) FINANCIAL ASSETS<br />

Classifi cation<br />

The fi nancial assets held by the Group are classifi ed in<br />

the following categori<strong>es</strong>:<br />

a) Loans and receivabl<strong>es</strong>: fi nancial assets arising from<br />

the rendering of servic<strong>es</strong> in the ordinary course of<br />

the Group’s busin<strong>es</strong>s, or fi nancial assets which, not<br />

having commercial substance, are not equity instruments<br />

or derivativ<strong>es</strong>, have fi xed or determinable<br />

payments and are not traded in an active market.<br />

The directors of the Company and its subsidiari<strong>es</strong> do<br />

not for<strong>es</strong>ee any problems with regard to the recovery<br />

of th<strong>es</strong>e assets.<br />

b) Held-to-maturity inv<strong>es</strong>tments: debt securiti<strong>es</strong> with<br />

fi xed maturity and determinable payments that are<br />

traded in an active market and which the Group has<br />

the positive intention and ability to hold to the date<br />

of maturity. The Group had not made any inv<strong>es</strong>tments<br />

of this nature at 31 December 2009.<br />

c) Held-for-trading fi nancial assets: assets acquired<br />

with the intention of selling them in the short term<br />

and assets that form part of a portfolio for which<br />

there is evidence of a recent actual pattern of shortterm<br />

profi t-taking. This category also includ<strong>es</strong> fi -<br />

nancial derivativ<strong>es</strong> that are not fi nancial guarante<strong>es</strong><br />

(e.g. suretyships) and that have not been d<strong>es</strong>ignated<br />

as hedging instruments.<br />

d) Deposits and guarante<strong>es</strong> corr<strong>es</strong>pond mainly to<br />

the guarante<strong>es</strong> given to the public authoriti<strong>es</strong> of<br />

the various autonomous communiti<strong>es</strong> by virtue<br />

of the Law on Urban Leas<strong>es</strong> and to the deposits<br />

given as a r<strong>es</strong>ult of the compulsory purchas<strong>es</strong><br />

made for the purpose of construction work at<br />

various airports.<br />

Annual report 2009<br />

e) Available-for-sale fi nancial assets: th<strong>es</strong>e are equity<br />

instruments of other compani<strong>es</strong> that were not classifi<br />

ed in any of the aforementioned categori<strong>es</strong>.<br />

Initial recognition<br />

Financial assets are initially recognised at the fair value<br />

of the consideration given, plus any directly attributable<br />

transaction costs.<br />

Subsequent measurement<br />

Loans and receivabl<strong>es</strong> and held-to-maturity inv<strong>es</strong>tments<br />

are measured at amortised cost.<br />

Available-for-sale fi nancial assets are measured at fair<br />

value and the gains and loss<strong>es</strong> arising from chang<strong>es</strong><br />

in fair value are recognised in equity until the asset<br />

is disposed of or it is determined that it has become<br />

(permanently) impaired, at which time the cumulative<br />

gains or loss<strong>es</strong> previously recognised in equity are<br />

recognised in the net profi t or loss for the year.<br />

At least at each reporting date the Group t<strong>es</strong>ts fi nancial<br />

assets not measured at fair value through profi t or<br />

loss for impairment. Objective evidence of impairment<br />

is considered to exist when the recoverable amount of<br />

the fi nancial asset is lower than its carrying amount.<br />

When this occurs, the impairment loss is recognised in<br />

the consolidated income statement.<br />

In particular, and with r<strong>es</strong>pect to the valuation adjustments<br />

relating to trade and other receivabl<strong>es</strong>, impairment<br />

loss<strong>es</strong> are calculated in order to cover the risks of<br />

doubtful debts and insolvency relating to balanc<strong>es</strong> of<br />

a certain age and for which the related circumstanc<strong>es</strong><br />

recommend their classifi cation as doubtful debts.<br />

The Group derecognis<strong>es</strong> a fi nancial asset when it expir<strong>es</strong><br />

or when the rights to the cash fl ows from the<br />

fi nancial asset have been transferred and substan-


tially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the<br />

fi nancial asset have been transferred, such as in the<br />

case of fi rm asset sal<strong>es</strong>, sal<strong>es</strong> of fi nancial assets under<br />

an agreement to repurchase them at fair value<br />

and the securitisation of fi nancial assets in which<br />

the transferor do<strong>es</strong> not retain any subordinated<br />

debt, provide any kind of guarantee or assume any<br />

other kind of risk.<br />

However, the Group do<strong>es</strong> not derecognise fi nancial assets<br />

and recognis<strong>es</strong> a fi nancial liability for an amount<br />

equal to the consideration received in transfers of fi -<br />

nancial assets in which substantially all the risks and<br />

rewards of ownership are retained.<br />

E-2) FINANCIAL LIABILITIES<br />

e-2) Financial liabiliti<strong>es</strong><br />

Financial liabiliti<strong>es</strong> include accounts payable by the<br />

Group that have arisen from the purchase of goods<br />

or servic<strong>es</strong> in the normal course of busin<strong>es</strong>s and those<br />

which, not having commercial substance, cannot be<br />

classed as derivative fi nancial instruments.<br />

Accounts payable are initially recognised at the fair<br />

value of the consideration received, adjusted by the<br />

directly attributable transaction costs. Th<strong>es</strong>e liabiliti<strong>es</strong><br />

are subsequently measured at amortised cost.<br />

F) HEDGE ACCOUNTING<br />

The Group us<strong>es</strong> derivative fi nancial instruments to<br />

hedge the risks to which its busin<strong>es</strong>s activiti<strong>es</strong>, operations<br />

and future cash fl ows are exposed. Th<strong>es</strong>e<br />

risks arise mainly as a r<strong>es</strong>ult of chang<strong>es</strong> in exchange<br />

rat<strong>es</strong>. Within the framework of th<strong>es</strong>e transactions,<br />

the Group has a cash fl ow hedging instrument as d<strong>es</strong>cribed<br />

in Note 10.<br />

Legal Information<br />

Consolidated Financial Statements<br />

In order for this fi nancial instrument to qualify for hedge<br />

accounting, it was initially d<strong>es</strong>ignated as such and the<br />

hedging relationship was documented. Also, the Group<br />

verifi <strong>es</strong>, both at inception and periodically over the term<br />

of the hedge (at least at the end of each reporting period),<br />

that the hedging relationship is effective, i.e. that<br />

it is prospectively for<strong>es</strong>eeable that the chang<strong>es</strong> in the<br />

fair value or cash fl ows of the hedged item (attributable<br />

to the hedged risk) will be almost fully offset by those<br />

of the hedging instrument and that, retrospectively, the<br />

gain or loss on the hedge was within a range of 80-<br />

125% of the gain or loss on the hedged item.<br />

In a cash fl ow hedge, the portion of the gain or loss<br />

on the hedging instrument that has been determined<br />

to be an effective hedge is recognised temporarily<br />

in equity and is recognised in the consolidated income<br />

statement in the same period during which the<br />

hedged item affects profi t or loss, unl<strong>es</strong>s the hedge<br />

relat<strong>es</strong> to a forecast transaction that r<strong>es</strong>ults in the recognition<br />

of a non-fi nancial asset or a non-fi nancial liability,<br />

in which case the amounts recognised in equity<br />

are included in the initial cost of the asset or liability<br />

when it is acquired or assumed.<br />

Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument<br />

expir<strong>es</strong> or is sold, terminated or exercised, or<br />

no longer qualifi <strong>es</strong> for hedge accounting. At that time,<br />

any cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument<br />

recognised in equity is retained in equity until the forecast<br />

transaction occurs. If a hedged transaction is no longer<br />

expected to occur, the net cumulative gain or loss recognised<br />

in equity is transferred to net profi t or loss for the<br />

year and the amount thereof is recognised as fi nancial<br />

profi t or loss in the consolidated income statement.<br />

G) INVENTORIES<br />

Inventori<strong>es</strong> include spare parts and sundry materials at<br />

the Central Warehous<strong>es</strong> and the Parent’s Logistics Sup-<br />

Annual report 2009 307

port Centre, and are initially measured at cost (weighted<br />

average cost). Acquisition cost is based on historic<br />

cost for items identifi ed in the purchas<strong>es</strong> books. Subsequently,<br />

if the net realisable value of the inventori<strong>es</strong><br />

is lower than the acquisition cost, the appropriate<br />

write-downs will be made. If the circumstanc<strong>es</strong> causing<br />

the inventori<strong>es</strong> to be written down ceased to exist,<br />

the amount of the write-down would be reversed.<br />

H) FOREIGN CURRENCY<br />

TRANSACTIONS<br />

The Group’s functional currency is the euro. Therefore,<br />

transactions in currenci<strong>es</strong> other than the euro are<br />

deemed to be “foreign currency transactions” and are<br />

recognised by applying the exchange rat<strong>es</strong> prevailing<br />

at the date of the transaction.<br />

At the end of each reporting period, monetary assets<br />

and liabiliti<strong>es</strong> denominated in foreign currenci<strong>es</strong> are<br />

translated to euros at the rat<strong>es</strong> then prevailing.<br />

Any exchange differenc<strong>es</strong> arising on settlement or<br />

translation at the closing rat<strong>es</strong> of monetary items are<br />

recognised in the consolidated income statement for<br />

the year.<br />

I) INCOME TAX<br />

Tax expense (tax income) compris<strong>es</strong> current tax expense<br />

(current tax income) and deferred tax expense<br />

(deferred tax income).<br />

The current income tax expense is the amount payable<br />

as a r<strong>es</strong>ult of income tax settlements for a given year.<br />

Tax credits and other tax benefi ts, excluding tax withholdings<br />

and pre-payments, and tax loss carryforwards<br />

from prior years effectively offset in the current year<br />

reduce the current income tax expense.<br />

Annual report 2009<br />

The deferred tax expense or income relat<strong>es</strong> to the recognition<br />

and derecognition of deferred tax assets and liabiliti<strong>es</strong>.<br />

Th<strong>es</strong>e include temporary differenc<strong>es</strong> measured<br />

at the amount expected to be payable or recoverable on<br />

differenc<strong>es</strong> between the carrying amounts of assets and<br />

liabiliti<strong>es</strong> and their tax bas<strong>es</strong>, and tax loss and tax credit<br />

carryforwards. Th<strong>es</strong>e amounts are measured at the tax<br />

rat<strong>es</strong> that are expected to apply in the period when the<br />

asset is realised or the liability is settled.<br />

Deferred tax liabiliti<strong>es</strong> are recognised for all taxable temporary<br />

differenc<strong>es</strong>, except for those arising from the initial<br />

recognition of goodwill or of other assets and liabiliti<strong>es</strong> in<br />

a transaction that is not a busin<strong>es</strong>s combination and affects<br />

neither accounting profi t (loss) nor taxable profi t (tax<br />

loss), and except for those associated with inv<strong>es</strong>tments<br />

in subsidiari<strong>es</strong>, associat<strong>es</strong> and joint ventur<strong>es</strong> in which the<br />

Parent is able to control the timing of the reversal of the<br />

temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary<br />

difference will not reverse in the for<strong>es</strong>eeable future.<br />

Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that<br />

it is considered probable that the Parent will have taxable<br />

profi ts in the future against which the deferred<br />

tax assets can be utilised.<br />

Deferred tax assets and liabiliti<strong>es</strong> arising from transactions<br />

charged or credited directly to equity are also<br />

recognised in equity.<br />

The deferred tax assets recognised are reass<strong>es</strong>sed at<br />

the end of each reporting period and the appropriate<br />

adjustments are made to the extent that there are<br />

doubts as to their future recoverability. Also, unrecognised<br />

deferred tax assets are reass<strong>es</strong>sed at the end of<br />

each reporting period and are recognised to the extent<br />

that it has become probable that they will be recovered<br />

through future taxable profi ts.<br />

Since 2005, the Parent, as head of the AENA Group,<br />

has fi led consolidated tax returns with certain subsid-


iari<strong>es</strong> as they meet the requirements <strong>es</strong>tablished in this<br />

connection.<br />

The compani<strong>es</strong> which form the tax group, together<br />

with the Company in 2009 are as follows:<br />

1. <strong>Aena</strong> D<strong>es</strong>arrollo Internacional, S.A.<br />

2. Centros Logísticos Aeroportuarios, S.A.<br />

J) REVENUE AND EXPENSES<br />

Revenue and expens<strong>es</strong> are recognised on an accrual<br />

basis, i.e. when the actual fl ow of the related goods<br />

and servic<strong>es</strong> occurs, regardl<strong>es</strong>s of when the r<strong>es</strong>ulting<br />

monetary or fi nancial fl ow aris<strong>es</strong>.<br />

Revenue from the rendering of servic<strong>es</strong> is recognised<br />

by reference to the stage of completion of the transaction<br />

at the end of the reporting period, provided that<br />

the outcome of the transaction can be <strong>es</strong>timated reliably.<br />

Inter<strong>es</strong>t income from fi nancial assets is recognised using<br />

the effective inter<strong>es</strong>t method and dividend income<br />

is recognised when the shareholder’s right to receive<br />

payment has been <strong>es</strong>tablished. Inter<strong>es</strong>t and dividends<br />

from fi nancial assets accrued after the date of acquisition<br />

are recognised as consolidated income.<br />

The nec<strong>es</strong>sary administrative authorisation was not<br />

obtained for certain staff costs incurred and recognised<br />

in 2008 and in prior years.<br />

Contracts for the provision of servic<strong>es</strong><br />

The revenue from the servic<strong>es</strong> contracts of the subsidiary<br />

INECO includ<strong>es</strong> the initial amount of the agreed<br />

revenue, any amendments to the scope of the work<br />

included in the agreement and the amounts related to<br />

Legal Information<br />

Consolidated Financial Statements<br />

claims and incentiv<strong>es</strong> which are considered likely, provided<br />

that the latter can be measured reliably.<br />

Also, the costs of th<strong>es</strong>e contracts include the costs<br />

directly related to the agreement, the costs related<br />

to the general activity of the contract which may be<br />

charged to the contract and any other cost which may<br />

be passed on to the customer under the terms and<br />

conditions of the agreement. Contract costs also include<br />

those incurred during the negotiation thereof if<br />

they can be identifi ed and measured reliably, provided<br />

that the client is likely to accept the contract.<br />

The revenue and costs of a servic<strong>es</strong> contract are recognised<br />

by taking into consideration its stage of completion<br />

at the reporting date, when the r<strong>es</strong>ult thereof can<br />

be <strong>es</strong>timated reliably. In this r<strong>es</strong>pect:<br />

- In fi xed price contracts, this circumstance occurs<br />

when the amount of revenue, the stage of completion,<br />

the attributable costs and those still to be incurred<br />

can be measured reliably; the attributable costs<br />

can be clearly identifi ed so that the actual costs incurred<br />

can be compared with the <strong>es</strong>timated costs and<br />

it is probable that the economic benefi ts associated<br />

with the contracts will fl ow to the entity.<br />

- In cost plus contracts, revenue and expens<strong>es</strong> are<br />

recognised when the costs attributable to the contracts,<br />

whether or not specifi cally reimbursable, can be<br />

clearly identifi ed and measured reliably and it is probable<br />

that the economic benefi ts associated with the<br />

contracts will fl ow to the entity.<br />

The subsidiary INECO measur<strong>es</strong> the stage of completion<br />

of the contracts in accordance with the costs incurred.<br />

The chang<strong>es</strong> in forecast contract revenue and expens<strong>es</strong><br />

are recognised prospectively in the current year and<br />

in future years as a change in <strong>es</strong>timat<strong>es</strong>.<br />

K) ) PROVISIONS<br />

AND CONTINGENCIES<br />

In preparing its consolidated fi nancial statements, the<br />

Group distinguish<strong>es</strong> between:<br />

a. Provisions: credit balanc<strong>es</strong> covering pr<strong>es</strong>ent obligations<br />

arising from past events with r<strong>es</strong>pect to<br />

which it is probable that an outfl ow of r<strong>es</strong>ourc<strong>es</strong><br />

embodying economic benefi ts that is uncertain as<br />

to its amount and/or timing will be required to settle<br />

the obligations; and.<br />

b. Contingent liabiliti<strong>es</strong>: possible obligations that<br />

arise from past events and whose existence will<br />

be confi rmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence<br />

of one or more future events not wholly<br />

within the Group’s control.<br />

The consolidated fi nancial statements include all<br />

the provisions with r<strong>es</strong>pect to which it is considered<br />

that it is more likely than not that the obligation<br />

will have to be settled. Contingent liabiliti<strong>es</strong> are not<br />

recognised in the consolidated fi nancial statements,<br />

but rather are disclosed to the extent that they are<br />

deemed possible.<br />

Provisions are measured at the pr<strong>es</strong>ent value of the<br />

b<strong>es</strong>t possible <strong>es</strong>timate of the amount required to settle<br />

or transfer the obligation to a third party. Where discounting<br />

is used, adjustments made to provisions are<br />

recognised as inter<strong>es</strong>t cost on an accrual basis.<br />

The compensation to be received from a third party on<br />

settlement of the obligation is recognised as an asset,<br />

provided that there are no doubts that the reimbursement<br />

will take place, unl<strong>es</strong>s there is a legal relationship<br />

Annual report 2009<br />

whereby a portion of the risk has been externalised as<br />

a r<strong>es</strong>ult of which the Group is not liable.<br />

The main <strong>es</strong>timat<strong>es</strong> made by the Group were as follows:<br />

Provision for tax<strong>es</strong><br />

“Provision for Tax<strong>es</strong>” relat<strong>es</strong> to the amount of tax<br />

debts whose exact amount or date of payment cannot<br />

be determined yet, since they depend on the fulfi<br />

lment of certain conditions. Provisions are recognised<br />

in accordance with the b<strong>es</strong>t <strong>es</strong>timat<strong>es</strong> available.<br />

Provisions for third-party liability<br />

“Provisions for Third-Party Liability” corr<strong>es</strong>ponds to<br />

the <strong>es</strong>timated amount required for probable or certain<br />

liability arising from litigation in progr<strong>es</strong>s and indemnity<br />

payments or obligations of undetermined amount.<br />

This provision is recognised when the liability aris<strong>es</strong><br />

and in accordance with b<strong>es</strong>t <strong>es</strong>timat<strong>es</strong> based on available<br />

information.<br />

Provisions for employment<br />

benefi t obligations acquired<br />

The cost of the obligations arising from employee benefi<br />

t obligations is recognised on an accrual basis, in accordance<br />

with the b<strong>es</strong>t <strong>es</strong>timate calculated using the<br />

data available to the Group.<br />

The Group undertak<strong>es</strong> to make long-term defi ned<br />

contribution and long-term defi ned benefi t payments<br />

to its employe<strong>es</strong>. Defi ned contribution benefi ts will<br />

give rise to liabiliti<strong>es</strong> due to benefi ts when there are<br />

accrued contributions payable at year-end. Under defi<br />

ned benefi t obligations, the amount of the provision<br />

to be recognised is the difference between the pr<strong>es</strong>ent<br />

value of the obligations assumed and the fair value<br />

of the possible assets relating to the obligations with<br />

which the latter will be settled.


L) TERMINATION BENEFITS<br />

Under current employment legislation, the Group is required<br />

to pay termination benefi ts to employe<strong>es</strong> terminated<br />

under certain conditions. Termination benefi ts<br />

that can be reasonably quantifi ed are recognised as an<br />

expense in the year in which the decision to terminate<br />

the employment relationship is taken. The directors of<br />

the Company and its subsidiari<strong>es</strong> do not for<strong>es</strong>ee any<br />

terminations in the future that might make it nec<strong>es</strong>sary<br />

to recognise a provision in this connection.<br />

M) ACTIVITIES WITH AN<br />

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT<br />

Se considera actividad medioambiental cualquier operación<br />

cuyo propósito principal sea prevenir, reducir o<br />

reparar el daño sobre el medio ambiente.<br />

Environmental activiti<strong>es</strong> are those the purpose of<br />

which is to prevent, reduce or redr<strong>es</strong>s damage to the<br />

environment.<br />

In this r<strong>es</strong>pect, inv<strong>es</strong>tments made in connection with<br />

environmental activiti<strong>es</strong> are measured at acquisition<br />

cost and are capitalised as an addition to non-current<br />

assets in the year in which they are made, using the<br />

methods d<strong>es</strong>cribed in Note 4-b.<br />

The expens<strong>es</strong> arising from environmental protection<br />

and enhancement measur<strong>es</strong> are charged to income in<br />

the year in which they are incurred, regardl<strong>es</strong>s of when<br />

the r<strong>es</strong>ulting monetary or fi nancial fl ow aris<strong>es</strong>.<br />

The provisions for probable or certain third-party liability,<br />

litigation in progr<strong>es</strong>s and outstanding environmental<br />

indemnity payments or obligations of undetermined<br />

amount not covered by the insurance polici<strong>es</strong> taken<br />

out are recognised, where appropriate, when the liability<br />

or obligation giving rise to the indemnity or payment<br />

aris<strong>es</strong>, as d<strong>es</strong>cribed in Note 4-k.<br />

Consolidated Financial Statements<br />

N) GRANTS, DONATIONS<br />

OR GIFTS AND LEGACIES RECEIVED<br />

Non-refundable grants, donations or gifts and legaci<strong>es</strong><br />

related to assets are recognised as such when<br />

there is a specifi c agreement relating to the award<br />

of the grant, the conditions <strong>es</strong>tablished for the<br />

award of the grant have been met and there are no<br />

reasonable doubts in relation to the award thereof.<br />

Since 2009 -in the case of grants awarded for the<br />

construction of assets the execution of which has<br />

as non-refundable in proportion the construction<br />

work completed provided that there are no reasonable<br />

doubts that the construction will be completed<br />

in accordance with the terms and conditions <strong>es</strong>tablished<br />

in the conc<strong>es</strong>sion agreement (see Note 2-f). In<br />

general, they are measured at the fair value of the<br />

amount or the asset granted and are initially recognised<br />

as income net of tax recognised directly in equity<br />

and are allocated to profi t or loss in proportion<br />

to the period depreciation on the assets for which<br />

they were granted, except in the case of non-depreciable<br />

assets, the grants for which are allocated to<br />

profi t or loss in the year in which the assets are disposed<br />

of or impairment loss<strong>es</strong> are recognised. Government<br />

grants to compensate costs are recognised<br />

in profi t or loss on a systematic basis over the periods<br />

in which the Group recognis<strong>es</strong> as expens<strong>es</strong> the<br />

related costs for which the grants are intended to<br />

compensate.<br />

Refundable grants, donations or gifts and legaci<strong>es</strong> received<br />

are recognised as liabiliti<strong>es</strong> of the company until<br />

they become non-refundable or are repaid.<br />

Grants related to income are credited to income when<br />

granted, unl<strong>es</strong>s their purpose is to fi nance loss<strong>es</strong> from<br />

operations in future years, in which case they are allocated<br />

to income in those years. If grants are received<br />

to fi nance specifi c expens<strong>es</strong>, they are allocated to income<br />

as the related expens<strong>es</strong> are incurred.<br />

At 2009 and 2008 year-end, the subsidiary <strong>Aena</strong> D<strong>es</strong>arrollo<br />

Internacional had arranged a fi nance lease<br />

with BBVA (see Not<strong>es</strong> 8 and 14) on an automated<br />

fl ight inspection system (console) which is recognised<br />

under “Other Items of Property, Plant and Equipment<br />

– Computer Hardware”.<br />

Also, on 5 July 2007, the subsidiary <strong>Aena</strong> D<strong>es</strong>arrollo Internacional<br />

acquired an aircraft for EUR 2,590 thousand


which was fi nanced by a loan granted by “La Caixa”<br />

amounting to EUR 3,000 thousand (see Note 14). This<br />

aircraft is recognised under “Other Items of Property,<br />

Plant and Equipment – Transport Equipment”.<br />

As d<strong>es</strong>cribed in Note 4-b, in prior years, the Parent revalued<br />

its property, plant and equipment pursuant to<br />

various legal regulations, in particular, Royal-Decree-<br />

Law 7/1996, of 7 June.<br />

The cost of the cumulative revaluations at 31 December<br />

2009 and 31 December 2008, performed pursuant<br />

to Royal Decree-Law 7/1996, of 7 June, amounted<br />

to EUR 262.47 million and EUR 267.09 million, r<strong>es</strong>pectively.<br />

At 31 December 2009, the accumulated depreciation<br />

amounted to EUR 159.74 million, and its effect<br />

on period depreciation amounted to EUR 3,82 million<br />

(At 31 December 2008 amounted to EUR 155.92 million<br />

and EUR 7.82 million r<strong>es</strong>pectively).<br />

Inter<strong>es</strong>t expens<strong>es</strong> incurred in 2009 totalling EUR 68.63<br />

million (EUR 94.28 million in 2008)were capitalised in<br />

relation to the fi nancing of property, plant and equipment<br />

in the course of construction and EUR 11.29 million<br />

(EUR 14.09 million in 2008) were capitalised in<br />

relation to in-house work performed by the Parent on<br />

its property, plant and equipment.<br />

In relation to capitalised fi nance costs, the Parent considers<br />

that the purpose of all its non-current loans is<br />

to fi nance inv<strong>es</strong>tment. The inter<strong>es</strong>t accrued is capitalised<br />

as an addition to th<strong>es</strong>e assets in proportion to the<br />

property, plant and equipment in the course of construction<br />

taken as a percentage of the total cost of the<br />

inv<strong>es</strong>tment in the year.<br />

Non-current asset additions<br />

(see Note 13.2). Land additions amounting to EUR 25<br />

million relate mainly to the land acquired to extend the<br />

Córdoba airport.<br />

Impairment<br />

2009<br />

The Parent considered that there were no indications<br />

of impairment at 31 December 2009 that would require<br />

the recognition of an impairment loss.<br />

2008<br />

The Parent considered that the impairment loss<strong>es</strong><br />

recognised in the consolidated balance sheet at 2007<br />

year-end amounting to EUR 29.4 million did not meet<br />

the requirements to be maintained as such under the<br />

new Spanish National Chart of Accounts as they were<br />

similar to accelerated depreciation. Consequently, the<br />

Parent recognised this amount as an increase to the<br />

accumulated depreciation of the related assets.<br />

Grants received<br />

2009<br />

At 31 December 2009, the Parent received grants in<br />

connection with its property, plant and equipment and<br />

intangible assets for an accumulated amount of EUR<br />

422 million, of which EUR 22,8 million corr<strong>es</strong>pond to<br />

additions in the year (see Note 11-d). The gross cost of<br />

the assets associated with th<strong>es</strong>e grants is EUR 2.186<br />

million, of which EUR 2.169,9 million relate to property,<br />

plant and equipment, and EUR 16,5 million to intangible<br />

assets.<br />

2008<br />

At 31 December 2008, the Parent received grants associated<br />

with its property, plant and equipment and<br />

intangible assets amounting to EUR 383.3 million (net<br />

of tax), of which EUR 64.5 million relate to additions<br />

in the year (see Note 12-g). The total cost of the assets<br />

associated with th<strong>es</strong>e grants is EUR 1,960 million,


of which EUR 1,942.4 million relate to property, plant<br />

and equipment and EUR 17.6 million relate to intangible<br />

assets.<br />

9.4 INFORMATION ON THE NATURE<br />

AND LEVEL OF RISK OF FINANCIAL<br />

INSTRUMENTS<br />

The main principle of the fi nancial polici<strong>es</strong> of the compani<strong>es</strong><br />

composing the <strong>Aena</strong> Group is based on their<br />

being centralised at the Administration and Finance<br />

department, to the extent that all the fi nancial assets<br />

and liabiliti<strong>es</strong> are arranged and managed by this department,<br />

except for INECO, which has independent fi nancing<br />

polici<strong>es</strong>. The main fi nancial risks are as follows:<br />

A) INTEREST RATE RISK<br />

The Company’s objective in relation to inter<strong>es</strong>t rate risk<br />

management is to optimise the fi nance costs within the<br />

risk limits <strong>es</strong>tablished. The Company do<strong>es</strong> not usually perform<br />

commercial transactions in currenci<strong>es</strong> other than the<br />

euro (unlike subsidiari<strong>es</strong> such as <strong>Aena</strong> D<strong>es</strong>arrollo Internacional<br />

and INECO), and accordingly, the fi nance cost risk is focused<br />

on inter<strong>es</strong>t rate risk in the case of the Parent, the risk<br />

variabl<strong>es</strong> being three-month Euribor (used for non-current<br />

payabl<strong>es</strong>) and one-month Euribor (used in credit faciliti<strong>es</strong>).<br />

The fi nance cost risk is also calculated for the duration<br />

of the Pluriannual Action Plan (PAP), <strong>es</strong>tablishing inter<strong>es</strong>t<br />

rate performance scenarios for the period in qu<strong>es</strong>tion.<br />

Note 14 provid<strong>es</strong> a detail of the inter<strong>es</strong>t rat<strong>es</strong> of<br />

the bank borrowings.<br />

Annual report 2009 323


324<br />

Legal Information<br />

Consolidated Financial Statements<br />

The Company has arranged transactions to hedge the<br />

risk of chang<strong>es</strong> in inter<strong>es</strong>t rat<strong>es</strong>, as detailed in Note 10.<br />

B) LIQUIDITY RISK<br />

The main risk variabl<strong>es</strong> are: limitations in the fi nancing<br />

markets, increase in forecast inv<strong>es</strong>tment and decrease<br />

in cash-fl ow generation.<br />

In order to maintain suffi cient liquidity to meet the<br />

fi nancial requirements over a minimum of twelve<br />

months, a long-term fi nancing policy was <strong>es</strong>tablished<br />

by signing agreements or framework agreements with<br />

institutions such as Instituto de Crédito Ofi cial and the<br />

European Inv<strong>es</strong>tment Bank, and by arranging short-<br />

and medium-term liquidity lin<strong>es</strong>.<br />

This risk is managed by closely monitoring the maturity<br />

schedule of the Group’s fi nancial payabl<strong>es</strong>, and<br />

through the proactive management and maintenance<br />

of credit lin<strong>es</strong> that enable the projected liquidity needs<br />

to be covered.<br />

Lastly, the Group mak<strong>es</strong> cash projections on a systematic<br />

basis in order to ass<strong>es</strong>s its cash needs. This liquidity<br />

policy ensur<strong>es</strong> the fulfi lment of the payment obligations<br />

assumed without having to r<strong>es</strong>ort to high inter<strong>es</strong>t-bearing<br />

fi nancing, thereby enabling the liquidity<br />

position to be maintained on an ongoing basis.<br />

C) CREDIT RISK<br />

The risk variable is the credit rating of the counterparty,<br />

and, accordingly, the objective is focused on<br />

minimising the risk of counterparty non-compliance<br />

Annual report 2009<br />

2009 CLASSIFICATION MATURITY (*)<br />

without adversely affecting the price. In general, the<br />

Parent holds its cash and cash equivalents at banks<br />

with high credit ratings.<br />

D) FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK<br />

The subsidiary <strong>Aena</strong> D<strong>es</strong>arrolllo Internacional is exposed<br />

to exchange rate fl uctuations which might<br />

affect its sal<strong>es</strong>, profi t, equity and cash fl ows. In this r<strong>es</strong>pect,<br />

this subsidiary has arranged a cash fl ow hedge<br />

as a r<strong>es</strong>ult of chang<strong>es</strong> in exchange rat<strong>es</strong> which is d<strong>es</strong>cribed<br />

in Note 10.<br />

The Group us<strong>es</strong> derivative fi nancial instruments to<br />

hedge the risks to which its busin<strong>es</strong>s activiti<strong>es</strong>, operations<br />

and future cash fl ows are exposed.<br />

Derivative fi nancial hedging instruments<br />

The Group has arranged a hedging instrument for cash<br />

<strong>Aena</strong> D<strong>es</strong>arrollo Internacional in US dollars for the provision<br />

of certain servic<strong>es</strong> under the various agreements<br />

relating to the management of Mexican airports, and<br />

airport and air traffi c control servic<strong>es</strong>, it was assigned<br />

faciliti<strong>es</strong> and properti<strong>es</strong>, mainly by the Ministry<br />

of Transport, Tourism and Communications (currently<br />

the Ministry for Development), the Ministry of Defence<br />

and the former Spanish Public Airports and Aviation<br />

Agency (OAAN). Therefore, the assigned assets account<br />

relat<strong>es</strong> to assets that did not give rise to any cost<br />

for the Company.<br />

The assets assigned to the Parent at the time of its formation,<br />

based on the appraisal of independent prof<strong>es</strong>sional<br />

experts, amounted to EUR 2,831.6 million.<br />

The equity account includ<strong>es</strong>, in addition to other subsequent<br />

chang<strong>es</strong> amounting to EUR 18.7 million, EUR<br />

248.7 million repr<strong>es</strong>enting the valuation difference between<br />

the rights and obligations to which the Parent<br />

was subrogated at the time of its formation.<br />

B) BYLAW RESERVES<br />

Th<strong>es</strong>e r<strong>es</strong>erv<strong>es</strong> were recognised in accordance with the<br />

Parent’s bylaws, and their objective is to fi nance future<br />

inv<strong>es</strong>tments in airport and air traffi c control infrastructur<strong>es</strong>.<br />

C) REVALUATION RESERVE ROYAL<br />

DECREE-LAW 7/1996 OF 7 JUNE 1996<br />

Pursuant to Royal Decree-Law 7/1996, of 7 June, on<br />

urgent tax measur<strong>es</strong> and measur<strong>es</strong> to develop and deregulate<br />

economic activiti<strong>es</strong>, in 1996 the Company revalued<br />

its property, plant and equipment. The initial<br />

net revaluation surplus amounted to EUR 300.9 million<br />

(see Note 6).<br />

The tax inspection authoriti<strong>es</strong> had a period of three<br />

years from 31 December 1996 to review the balance<br />

of this r<strong>es</strong>erve. Since the three-year period has<br />

elapsed, this balance can be used to offset loss<strong>es</strong> or<br />

to increase the Company’s equity. Once ten years<br />

have elapsed, the balance may be allocated to unr<strong>es</strong>tricted<br />

r<strong>es</strong>erv<strong>es</strong>.<br />

The balance of the revaluation r<strong>es</strong>erve account may<br />

not be distributed, either directly or indirectly, until the<br />

revaluation surplus has been realised.

Under Article 154 of the Company’s Fifth Collective<br />

Labour Agreement, all employe<strong>es</strong> aged between 60<br />

and 64 years of age who, pursuant to current legislation<br />

are entitled to do so, may retire early voluntarily<br />

and receive a termination benefi t which, combined<br />

with the consolidated entitlements under the Pension<br />

Plan at the date of termination of their contracts, is<br />

equivalent to four months’ salary, calculated on the<br />

basis of their basic pay plus their long-service bonus,<br />

for every year remaining until they reach 64 years of<br />

age, or the related proportional part.<br />

In 2004 the early retirement bonus<strong>es</strong> were externalised<br />

through a single premium life insurance policy<br />

Collective Labour Agreement provide for certain<br />

long-service bonus<strong>es</strong> for servic<strong>es</strong> effectively rendered for<br />

25 and 30 years in the fi rst case, and for 25 and 35 years<br />

in the second. The provision recognised for this obligation<br />

amounted to EUR 972 thousand (EUR 978 thousand<br />

in 2008), of which EUR 375 thousand (EUR 356<br />

thousand in 2008) relate to the fi nance cost, calculated<br />

on the basis of an actuarial study. The main assumptions<br />

used to obtain the actuarial calculation are as follows:<br />

Participation bonus<strong>es</strong><br />

Under agreements entered into between the Company<br />

and the Air Traffi c Controllers’ Labour Union, certain<br />

bonus<strong>es</strong> were agreed upon for the period 2002-2003,<br />

accruable for the extension of working hours during<br />

th<strong>es</strong>e periods. Th<strong>es</strong>e bonus agreements were extended<br />

succ<strong>es</strong>sively without interruption, for periods of<br />

one year, until the fi nal extension from 1 August 2009<br />

to 31 July 2010. The bonus<strong>es</strong> are paid over the two<br />

years following the year in which they are earned, in<br />

equal portions. The balance of this heading relat<strong>es</strong> to<br />

the bonus<strong>es</strong> which will be paid from 1 January 2011,<br />

and the bonus<strong>es</strong> payable in 2010 were transferred to<br />

short term. The provision for the 2009 bonus<strong>es</strong> was<br />

charged to “Staff Costs” in the accompanying consolidated<br />

income statement at 31 December 2009.<br />

Special paid leave<br />

Articl<strong>es</strong> 166 to 174 of the First Air Traffi c Controllers’<br />

Collective Labour Agreement provide for a pre-retirement<br />

situation that may be availed of by employe<strong>es</strong><br />

who meet certain conditions on reaching 52 years of<br />

age. Th<strong>es</strong>e employe<strong>es</strong> will not render any servic<strong>es</strong> until<br />

their retirement date, except in special cas<strong>es</strong>, and will<br />

be entitled to have their basic salari<strong>es</strong> reviewed on an<br />

annual basis.<br />

The Company recognised a provision in 2008 for the<br />

actuarial value of the benefi ts to the employe<strong>es</strong> who<br />

are expected to avail themselv<strong>es</strong> of this leave based on<br />

historical experience. The main assumptions used to<br />

obtain the actuarial calculation are as follows:<br />

In the <strong>es</strong>timate of the actuarial value at 31 December<br />

2009 the suspension of the right to obtain this leave<br />

provided for in Royal Decree-Law 1/2010, of 5 February<br />

(see Note 2-c) was taken into account.<br />

The amount recognised directly in equity in 2009 for<br />

the actuarial loss<strong>es</strong> relating to this provision totalled<br />

EUR 17,315 thousand (2008: EUR 11,406 thousand).<br />

Other employee benefi t obligations<br />

Under Article 150 of the Company’s Third Collective<br />

Labour Agreement, when employe<strong>es</strong> retire or are<br />

granted permanent sick leave, they will receive an<br />

amount equal to three monthly salary payments calculated<br />

on the basis of their basic pay plus their longservice<br />

bonus.<br />

Pursuant to the legislation relating to the externalisation<br />

of pension commitments and to the agreement<br />

between <strong>Aena</strong> management and the labour union<br />

repr<strong>es</strong>entativ<strong>es</strong> to set up a pension plan, the defi nedcontribution<br />

pension plan for <strong>Aena</strong>’s employe<strong>es</strong> was<br />

set up on 28 July 2003.<br />

Under Article 149 of the Fifth Collective Labour Agreement,<br />

any employee who has to his credit at least 360<br />

calendar days of service recognised by <strong>Aena</strong> may become<br />

a participant of the <strong>Aena</strong> Employe<strong>es</strong> Pension<br />

Plan. The pension plan covers the contingenci<strong>es</strong> of retirement,<br />

disability (referring to the degre<strong>es</strong> of full or<br />

absolute permanent incapacity for work and comprehensive<br />

disability) and death.


In 2009 the Parent made contributions amounting to<br />

EUR 6.21 million (5.91 million in 2008) to this Pension<br />

Fund and paid benefi ts totalling EUR 1.76 million (1.46<br />

million in 2008) At 31 December 2009, the balance<br />

of the pension plan position account was EUR 48.03<br />

million (39.2 million in 2008). In addition, the number<br />

of participants and benefi ciari<strong>es</strong> amounted to EUR<br />

10,684 at the end of 2009 (end of 2008: EUR 10,135).<br />

B) OTHER PROVISIONS<br />

“Other Provisions”, which amount to EUR 16,603<br />

thousand in 2009 and EUR 21,487 thousand in 2008,<br />

relat<strong>es</strong> to the <strong>es</strong>timated amount of tax debts whose<br />

exact amount cannot yet be determined or whose<br />

date of payment is uncertain.<br />

This heading also includ<strong>es</strong> EUR 2,908 thousand in<br />

2009 and EUR 1,187 thousand in 2008, relating to<br />

the <strong>es</strong>timated amount required for probable or certain<br />

consider that the provision is suffi cient to cover the<br />

risks of litigation in progr<strong>es</strong>s, third-party liability and<br />

current commitments known at the date of preparation<br />

of th<strong>es</strong>e fi nancial statements and do not consider<br />

that the current claims, taken as a whole, will give rise<br />

to additional liabiliti<strong>es</strong> that might have a material effect<br />

on the 2009 fi nancial statements.<br />

C) PROVISIONS FOR<br />

ENVIRONMENTAL COSTS<br />

“Provisions for Environmental Costs” in 2009 includ<strong>es</strong><br />

EUR 97.4 million recognised( EUR 52.5 million in 2008)<br />

to cover the costs for<strong>es</strong>een to carry out the sound insulation<br />

work required to meet the environmental legislation<br />

in force. Short-term provisions for contingenci<strong>es</strong><br />

and charg<strong>es</strong> include a provision totalling EUR 43.8 million<br />

(EUR 35.2 million in 2008) to cover th<strong>es</strong>e liabiliti<strong>es</strong><br />

maturing in under 12 months (see Note 13.2). The<br />

amounts recognised in this connection are capitalised<br />

as an addition to the cost of the inv<strong>es</strong>tment, since they<br />

are costs nec<strong>es</strong>sarily incurred to develop the projects.<br />

early retirement with its employe<strong>es</strong> whereby personnel<br />

with employment contracts reaching 60, 61, 62<br />

or 63 years of age in 2007 who met the requirements<br />

<strong>es</strong>tablished by the social security authoriti<strong>es</strong><br />

for qualifying for the state retirement pension at the<br />

age of 60 could, on a voluntary basis and subject<br />

to agreement by the Company, avail themselv<strong>es</strong> of<br />

this option and receive a lump sum to compensate<br />

them for the decrease in their retirement pension<br />

as a r<strong>es</strong>ult of bringing forward their retirement. In<br />

2008 the Parent approved a further initiative under<br />

the same conditions. The Company has <strong>es</strong>timated<br />

and recognised the liability arising from this agreement<br />

in the provision for early retirement plan account.<br />

No initiative was approved in this connection<br />

in 2009.<br />

At 31 December 2009, the balance relat<strong>es</strong> in full to the<br />

Social Action Fund.<br />

B) PROVISION FOR SECURITY CHARGE<br />

This charge has been applied since 1 May 1997 to<br />

outgoing passengers who embark at Spanish airports<br />

in accordance with Law 13/1996, of 30 December,<br />

on Tax, Administrative and Social Security<br />

Measur<strong>es</strong> and, since 1999, 50% of the amounts col-<br />

“Other Provisions” relat<strong>es</strong> to EUR 141 million (EUR<br />

196.5 million in 2008) recognised to cover the difference<br />

between the original expropriation value of the<br />

land expropriated at Madrid, Barcelona and Malaga<br />

airports and the b<strong>es</strong>t <strong>es</strong>timate of the just compensation<br />

<strong>es</strong>tablished for this land for<strong>es</strong>eeably to be paid in<br />

the short term, and EUR 43.8 million (EUR 35.2 million<br />

in 2008) which were recognised to cover the sound insulation<br />

work required to meet the applicable environmental<br />

legislation.


13.3 CONTINGENCIES<br />

As a r<strong>es</strong>ult of the actions that will have to be carried<br />

out to comply with the EISs (Environmental Impact<br />

Statement) approved for the various airport expansion<br />

and improvement construction projects, the Parent<br />

will be obliged to make certain inv<strong>es</strong>tments required<br />

to minimise the impact of noise on the dwellings affected<br />

by such projects. At 31 December 2009 and<br />

31 December 2008, the Parent was involved in various<br />

claims proceedings which, should the outcome<br />

thereof be unfavourable to <strong>Aena</strong>, could give rise to liabiliti<strong>es</strong><br />

which were not possible to quantify at 31 December<br />

2009 and 31 December 2008. In any case, the<br />

aforementioned liabiliti<strong>es</strong> would repr<strong>es</strong>ent an increase<br />

in the cost of non-current assets and, therefore, under<br />

no circumstanc<strong>es</strong> would they have an immediate impact<br />

on the equity of the Parent.<br />

13.4 CONTINGENT ASSETS<br />

ADJUSTMENT MECHANISM<br />

This item includ<strong>es</strong> the rights (or obligations) arising<br />

from varianc<strong>es</strong> in the <strong>es</strong>timated r<strong>es</strong>ults used to set<br />

Legal Information<br />

Consolidated Financial Statements<br />

the unit charg<strong>es</strong> for en-route navigation aids and<br />

the actual r<strong>es</strong>ults ultimately obtained in the provision<br />

of en-route air navigation servic<strong>es</strong>. The aforementioned<br />

rights and obligations are recovered<br />

through future chang<strong>es</strong> between two to six years<br />

after they arise. The Parent considers that this type<br />

of asset do<strong>es</strong> not meet all the requirements for recognition<br />

in the balance sheet since its recoverability<br />

depends on future events such as chang<strong>es</strong> in rat<strong>es</strong><br />

and air traffic.<br />

At 31 December 2009 the balance in r<strong>es</strong>pect of this<br />

item amounted to EUR 282.399 thousand ( EUR<br />

196.208 thousand at 31 December 2008)<br />

Also, in accordance with Commission Regulation (CE)<br />

no. 1794/2006, of 6 December 2006, laying down a<br />

common charging scheme for air navigation servic<strong>es</strong>,<br />

the non-recurring effects r<strong>es</strong>ulting from the introduction<br />

of International Accounting Standards may<br />

be included as an addition to the route charge over<br />

a period not exceeding 15 years. Consequently, the<br />

Parent expects to be able to recover EUR 309,311<br />

thousand (EUR 333,104 thousand in 2008) through<br />

future charg<strong>es</strong>.<br />

15.7 YEARS OPEN FOR REVIEW<br />

AND TAX AUDITS<br />

Under current legislation, tax<strong>es</strong> cannot be deemed to<br />

have been defi nitively settled until the tax returns fi led<br />

have been reviewed by the tax authoriti<strong>es</strong> or until the<br />

four-year statute-of-limitations period has expired. In<br />

this regard, on 11 February 2009 the Department of<br />

Tax and Customs Control notifi ed the Parent of the<br />

commencement of an audit for all tax<strong>es</strong> for 2005 and<br />

2006 and, in addition, for income tax for 2002, 2003<br />

and 2004. This tax audit is currently in progr<strong>es</strong>s.<br />

At the end of 2009, the Company had 2002 and subsequent<br />

years open for review for income tax and<br />

2005 and subsequent years for all other tax<strong>es</strong> applicable<br />

to it.<br />

The subsidiary INECO is currently being audited for the<br />

main tax<strong>es</strong> applicable to it for 2004, 2005 and 2006.<br />

The directors consider that the tax audits will not give<br />

rise to any liabiliti<strong>es</strong> additional to those already recog-


nised. The Company has 2005 to 2009 open for review<br />

by the tax authoriti<strong>es</strong> for income tax, VAT and<br />

personal income tax withholdings.<br />

At the end of 2009, the subsidiary <strong>Aena</strong> D<strong>es</strong>arrollo Internacional<br />

S.A. had 2005 and subsequent years open for<br />

review for by the tax authoriti<strong>es</strong> for income tax and 2006,<br />

2007, 2008 and 2009 for the other tax<strong>es</strong> applicable to it.<br />

At the end of 2009, the subsidiary CLASA had 2005<br />

and subsequent years open for review for by the<br />

tax authoriti<strong>es</strong> for income tax and 2006 and subsequent<br />

years for the other tax<strong>es</strong> applicable to it. The<br />

Parent’s directors consider that the tax returns for the<br />

aforementioned tax<strong>es</strong> have been fi led correctly and,<br />

therefore, even in the event of discrepanci<strong>es</strong> in the interpretation<br />

of current tax legislation in relation to the<br />

tax treatment afforded to certain transactions, such liabiliti<strong>es</strong><br />

as might arise would not have a material effect<br />

on the accompanying fi nancial statements.<br />

The Economic Inter<strong>es</strong>t Grouping (“EIG”) and subsidiary<br />

CRIDA has 2009 open for review by the tax authoriti<strong>es</strong><br />

for all the tax<strong>es</strong> applicable to it. The EIG’s<br />

directors and their tax advisors consider that no material<br />

contingenci<strong>es</strong> would arise in the event of a tax audit,<br />

in connection with the possible interpretations of<br />

the tax legislation applicable to the transactions performed<br />

by the EIG.<br />
