Outlook

The year 2020 and the first half of 2021 saw 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.

Considering the constantly evolving nature of the phenomenon, and in light of the persistence of negative results in the first eight months of 2021 (-14.5% in terms of passengers compared to the same period of 2020) due in part to the closure of the Florence airport starting on February 5, 2021 for extraordinary work on the runway, financial performance and position in 2021 are expected to continue to be significantly and negatively impacted, despite the gradual recovery in operations that it is hoped will consolidate late in the year, including as a result of the measures aimed at mitigating the spread of the virus, such as the ongoing vaccination campaign.

Over a short-to-medium time horizon, assumptions on the recovery of traffic levels, also based on external sources, such as studies by major industry operators, volumes in 2021 and 2022 are still forecast not to be comparable with pre-pandemic levels. Accordingly, for 2021 as well, the Group has confirmed the measures identified in 2020 following the outbreak of the health emergency designed to contain costs and safeguard liquidity, while ensuring the implementation of the infrastructure development plans and adequate service levels for the operations that in any case remain ongoing in order to allow Toscana Aeroporti to resume development in the medium term, after overcoming the emergency situation.
