Spediporto denunciation that of Genoa gets ready to for operators become the more expensive airport of Italy of the transport goods. The association of the shippers of the capital of Liguria has announced that next the 21 june the rates of handling of the airport will endure an increase of +800% and have emphasized that, "with this illogical and irrational increase of the rates, will be given the final blow to those little of activity that the international shipment companies succeed, in spite of everything, to withhold to Genoa".
"We are astounded of the fact - it has accused Andrea Giachero, member of the Board of presidency of Spediporto and representative of the shippers airplane - than an airport as Genoa, that it finds it hard to find an own identity and to consolidate traffics, has started a business policy of this type and moreover without to be confronted with the operators to the aim to verify of the sustainability on the market".
Giachero has found that the increase will give "the hardest blow to our companies, but in general terms the economy of our city. With these increases - it has explained - the Airport of Genoa (from next the 21 june the rates of handling, that is of handling of the goods, will pass from current the 0,02 euros to the kilogram very € 0,16 euros to the kilogram) will become dearest in Italy and one of dearest to European level. We have put voluntarily to I confront the rates in the main ports of call - it has specified - because vision could be taken, also by the institutions and of the associates of Airport of Genoa Spa than such initiative decontestualizzi Genoa from logical the commercial ones who assist airports very more solid and strong of ours"
"These increases - it has observed the president of Spediporto, Alessandro Pitto - do not hit only the operations of drainage of that goods destined to the next boarding on aircrafts that take off from the genoese port of call, but also to all this that moves on rubberizing flights that afford the transfer of the goods to the gateway of reference of the considered company (Rome, Frankfurt, Paris, London, Amsterdam). By January to May - it has added Pitto - they are enlivened near the air terminal goods very beyond the million kilograms: such increment will carry the operators and the goods to find ports of call more economic and also more equipped ours and the competition it does not certainly lack. Pack-saddles to think to Milan Malpensa (that it has a rate of 0,02 euros to the kilogram) or Turin (0,02 euros) or Venice (0,02 euros) a true blow to surprise for our operators who fight from years in order to conserve the traffics on Genoa".
Spediporto has launch therefore an appeal to the shareholders of Airport of Genoa and to the administration in order to understand which sense can have such initiative. "One remembers that Christopher Columbus of Genoa - has evidenced the association - is one of little "City airport" in Italy, to single six kilometers from the center of the city and in the middle of a logistic node port-railroad-freeway-airport. A geographic and strategic positioning that the more important of Italy places the airport port of call to the center between the port of Genoa (), the port of Savona and that of La Spezia. A airport port of call with the highest potentialities but today, after years, arrest warrant to the pole. The operators feel themselves excluded from strategies and initiatives that instead would have to see them active part, together with management in order to characterize tendencies and strategies that allow to acquire competitive ability and traffics".
