• The main problem affecting today the Corrado Gex
  airport, has to be addressed to the technical
  limitations not allowing flights during nigh time
  and operations with aircraft with a capacity
  higher than 30 seats. Projects are in place
  already to overcome these limitations wihtin the
  year 2007.

THE MARKET OF REFERENCE

• The market of reference of the Corrado Gex
  airport, is identified with the Regione Valle
  dAosta. Taken into consideration the population
  (120.000 in habitants) and limited industrial
  activities (20 about of PNL), the mobility
  demand is more related to the tourism incoming .

• The airborne traffic demand of reference for
  Regione Valle dAosta for year 2002, is
  considered being 120.000 passengers/year
  approximately of which 78.000 in-coming and
  42.000 out-going.

• The airborne passanger traffic demand is
  primarily related to the United Kingdom (over
  45.000 passengers) and Scandinavia (25.000
  passengers). Italian passengers originated
  primarily from Center South Italy(2.700
  passengers) and Rome (1.800 passengers).

• As far as destinations are concerned, the demand
  of transportation out-going is oriented primarily
  toward Italy, Rome, Calabria region and islands.
  Destinations related to the out-going traffic are
  substantially unstable.

• Today, targeting market niches, assuming one
  flight/week for a 50 seats aircratft to be
  performed for a period of 12 consecutive weeks
  within 2010 and two flights/week within 2015,
  the traffic is forecasted to be a minimum of
  35.000 passenger/year upto a maximum in 2015 of
  at least 50.000.

• The demand for airborne tourism traffic
  (in-coming out-going) is foreseen growing till
  2015 between 46 99 in accordance to three
  different scenarios economic coordination within
  EEC, Global competion and non coordination
  amongst the EEC countries.

DEMAND FOR ARIBORNE TOURISM TRAFFIC
(passengers/year)
18

• In order to manage the growing demand the Corrado
  Gex aeroport needs to be able to receive
  aircrafts 70/80 passengers capable (ex. ATR
  72/500- 72 passengers). The operative capacity of
  ATR 72 fully loaded, is approximately 715
  nautical miles. This should enable a link between
  Aosta with any area originating the in-coming and
  out-going tourism. The regional governement has
  recently approved the intervention on the runway
  (the length shall be approx. 1500 m.) and on
  technicalities needed for the strumental flights.
  The airport might be, in the near futures,
  involved in the Galileo pilot project for the GPS
  system flights.
