Translation of "Trafic de rentabilité " (French → English) :

According to Italy the carrier decided to stop operations from Alghero airport as it could not generate sufficient traffic to break even from a financial perspective.

It should ensure the safe, expeditious and cost-efficient flow of air traffic thereby minimising fuel usage, carbon emissions and flying times.

The Greek rail sector features cost recovery, productivity and traffic intensity at levels of 30 to 60% lower than most other European railway companies, whereas the ability of the State to provide financial support is evidently limited.

(b) selection of appropriate key performance areas on the basis of ICAO Document N° 9854 'Global Air Traffic Management Operational Concept', harmonised with the Performance Framework of the 'ATM Master Plan' including safety, environment, capacity and cost-efficiency areas, adapted where necessary in order to take into account the specific needs of the single European sky and relevant objectives for these areas and definition of a limited set of key performance indicators for measuring performance;

8. Stresses the need to develop common definitions and common analytical tools for airport capacity assessments, as well as procedures involving all stakeholders in the assessment of the mid-and long-term airport capacity needs of the EU; notes that this collaborative approach could be accompanied by an exchange of good practice in areas such as environmental impact and cost efficiency, pre-financing of new infrastructures, land use planning/management, integration of all transport modes, as well as modelling/simulation tools with a view to speeding-up the planning and building of new capacities; emphasises that these initiatives would ...[+++] serve to complement the Single European Sky ATM Research programme (SESAR) and could be supplemented with new institutional tools that help to increase airport capacity;

Since ports are made up of limited geographical areas, access to the market may, in certain cases, on grounds of economic efficiency inter alia, be numerically restricted on the basis of capacity and available-space constraints, traffic-related safety constraints, the profitability of the service provider, public service obligations of the service provider or of the managing body of the port, local, national or international environmental regulations, or the specific or substantiated economic needs of the port or the managing body of the port . In such cases it may therefore be necessary to limit the number of authorised providers of por ...[+++]t services.
