period of 2019, due to a decline in operating costs (-35.5% to
.0 million).
In order to bring operating costs into line with the almost complete absence of traffic demand caused by the Covid-19 emergency, Toscana Aeroporti took prompt measures to reduce said costs, placing almost all employees in service in the Extraordinary Wages Guarantee Fund (in addition to using accumulated holiday leaves and remote working arrangements) and renegotiating contractual terms with suppliers, where possible.

undertaken by the Company, operating costs amounted to million, decreasing by 62.1% compared to Q2 2019 (in Q1 the decline was 7.6%) and total costs amounted to

Net Financial Debt was | million, compared to | million at December 31, 2019 and |
million at June 30, 2019. The main differences compared to the net financial debt reported in H1 2019 were due to the greater available liquidity resulting from a larger short-
term bank loan contracted and the subsequent decision to cancel the distribution of the dividend, offset by the principal payment of non-current debt (which had been temporarily reclassified at June 30, 2019 among current bank payables).
The total investments at June 30, 2020 amounted to million, of which

Significant events occurred after June 30, 2020
In July, resumption of connections by several airlines already began in June significantly consolidated. To date, at the Pisa and Florence airports, 22 airlines are operating, serving 56 destinations.
Pisa airport
To date, at the Pisa airport 13 airlines are operating, serving 47 destinations, of which 11 national and 36 international. In detail, operations regard: Ryanair (42 destinations), British Airways (London Heathrow), easyJet (6 destinations), Jet2.com (3 destinations), AirAlbania (Tirana), AirArabia (Casablanca), SAS (Copenhagen), Volotea (Olbia), and Vueling (Barcelona).
Florence airport
To date, at the Florence airport 13 airlines are operating, serving 22 destinations, of which 6 national and 16 international. In particular, operations regard: Air Dolomiti (6 destinations), AirFrance (Paris Charles de Gaulle), Alitalia (Rome), Austrian Airlines (Vienna), BlueAir (Bucharest), British Airways (London City), Brussels Airlines (Brussels), KLM (Amsterdam), and Vueling (7 destinations).
Other events occurred after June 30, 2020
- On July 16, 2020, the Board of Directors of Toscana Aeroporti determined that Director Cecilia Carriquiry (co-opted on May 29, 2020), on the basis of the information she had provided and otherwise available to the Company, did not meet the independence requirements established in the Consolidated Law on Finance (TUF) and Corporate Governance Code.
- In light of the decreased traffic at Italian airports due to the Covid-19 epidemiological emergency and the disease containment measures adopted by the central government and regions, in order to limit the resulting financial effects, the term of the concessions for the management and development of airport activity in effect at the date of entry into force of Law No. 77 of July 17, 2020, which converted Article 202, paragraph 1-bis, of Decree-Law No. 34 of May 19, 2020, as amended, was extended by two years.
Outlook
In the first seven months of 2020, the Tuscan Airport System reported total passenger traffic of about 1.2 million (-74 % compared to the first seven months of 2019).
This performance was attributable to the combined effect of the demand recorded in January and February 2020, up 2.7% compared to the same period of 2019, and the severe impact generated by the restrictions of operations imposed due to the coronavirus as of March 2020, which led to a decline in passenger traffic by 92.1%.
The year 2020 will see the impact of the coronavirus epidemic on the global economy, global transport networks and air transport in particular, and, even more so for Italy, on domestic and international tourism.
Given the ongoing development of this phenomenon, and in light of the negative H1 results due to the restrictions imposed on airport services and the cancellations recorded as of March 2020, the impact on the 2020 economic and financial results is expected to be severely negative, despite a gradual recovery of operations.
4
Drawing on the considerable resilience it has shown in its five years of operation, Toscana Aeroporti has undertaken, and will continue to implement, all possible actions in
performance, while also taking account of the containment measures adopted by the governments, competent authorities, and central banks of the countries affected by the spread of the virus and considering initiatives of an economic nature in support of households, workers and businesses, trusting in the possibility that the recovery trend may continue in the coming months.
