A private partner in the public interest
Aéroports du Grand Ouest
Better than forecast
Serving the local community
N
antes Atlantique and Saint-Nazaire Airports have
been run since 2011 by Aéroports du Grand Ouest
(AGO), a subsidiary of VINCI Airports, in partnership
with the Nantes Chamber of Commerce and the Entreprise
de Travaux Publics de l’Ouest: the concession agreement also
plans the funding, financing, constructing and management
for 55 years of the Nantes future airport, a government
project, which was declared to be in the public interest in
2008 and the first French airport to be set up and run by
a public-private partnership. Looking ahead to 2017, these
new facilities funded by AGO (a 70% stake), by the State and
local authorities, will be home to all the commercial airline
activities of Nantes Atlantique on this new site around ten
miles north west of Nantes.
32
new scheduled routes including 20 in Europe,
almost 400,000 additional passengers in just
one year… 2012 was a record-breaking year at
Nantes Atlantique. As for Saint-Nazaire Montoir, chiefly
used for business linked to the aeronautical industry, there
was an increase of 21.8% with the quantity of air freight
reaching 21,214 tonnes.
After two years of activity, Aéroports du Grand Ouest
subsidiary of VINCI Airports, once again has come up with
encouraging results. With an increase of +12% in passenger
numbers, +38.5% in scheduled international traffic and +5.3%
in commercial movements, we have seen growth of almost
four times the national average. Three years ahead of the
forecasts in the public enquiry document, this trend confirms
the need to transfer this business to the site of the Nantes
future airport.
It is at the heart of this region of Western France that we
continue our work serving local people and businesses. Now
more than ever, air transport is a vital link with the rest of
the world. It is not by chance that more than half of our
traffic involves European and international destinations. In
early 2013, our skills were taken up in Portugal, where we
acquired ANA, the company which holds the concession for
50 years for the country’s ten airports.
These excellent results deserve to be shared as they are due
to the work done each day by all those involved at Nantes
Atlantique Airport. It was here that the "Smiling" concept
was put in place to develop a real team spirit dedicated to
offering a warm welcome and high quality service to our
passengers… and today this is a major feature within the
VINCI Airports Group, which has been applied to all of its
airports in France and in Cambodia.

VINCI Airports
A major player in the airport sector
V
INCI Airports, a key player in the airport
sector, is currently operating and developing
13 airports, primarily under public service
outsourcing contracts, including 10 in France
(Nantes Atlantique, Rennes Bretagne, ClermontFerrand Auvergne, Grenoble Isère, Chambéry Savoie,
Dinard Bretagne, Poitiers Biard, Quimper Cornouaille,
Saint-Nazaire Montoir, Ancenis), and will also be
developing and operating the Nantes future airport.
In addition, it is the concession company for
Cambodia's 3 international airports - Phnom Penh,
Siem Reap and Sihanoukville. Altogether, these
Traffic forecasts of almost
40 million
passengers in 2013
airports handled more than 9.5 million passengers
in 2012, nearly more than 12% more than in 2011.
On 21st February, VINCI Airports signed an
agreement with the Portuguese government to
acquire ANA and to hold a 50-year concession
for the 10 airports in mainland Portugal (Lisbon,
Porto, Faro, Beja) and in the Azores (Ponta Delgada,
Horta, Flores) and Madeira (Funchal and Porto
Santo), which saw total passenger numbers in
excess of 30 million in 2012. The ANA acquisition
will be effective once the anti-trust authorities have
given their approval.

Direct and indirect consequences and effects
Nantes Atlantique, the leading airport
N
F
antes Atlantique Airport is a vehicle for
economic development for the whole
of Western France, as can be seen from
the results of the latest study carried out by the
Nantes Saint-Nazaire Chamber of Commerce.
In 2012, almost 2,000 direct jobs were
identified within the 85 units looking after
the management and running of the airport
(concession holders, public sector services, subcontractors, airlines, airline services, retails and
services within the terminal or nearby, forwarding
agents and freight companies). The financial
benefit linked to money spent by tourists during
their stay is thought to be around 205,5 million
euros (taking into account that a holidaymaker
spends on average 5,3 days in the region and
spends around 86 euros a day).
In all, considering the indirect impact (see below),
the financial benefit from Nantes Atlantique
Airport is estimated to come to 1,081 billion
euros in 2012…

inhabitants, Nantes Atlantique is Western France’s
leading airport.
Future airport
Generating jobs
L
ooking forward to 2017, all of the commercial
activity at Nantes Atlantique will be transferred
to the site of the future airport. Better positioned
between Nantes and Rennes, these new facilities
will better serve the catchment area currently with
around 8 million inhabitants and bringing together
170,000 firms, or in other words, 1,4 million employees,
within 1 hour and 15 minutes's drive. Before that, the
construction project will involve almost 800 workers,
generating 4,5 million man hours of work, chiefly for the
local workforce. As soon as the airport opens, almost
2,500 employees will be working at the airport, i.e.
500 more than today. The future airport will be able to
anticipate and cope with a growth in traffic linked an
increase in the size of the population of Western France:
+26% in the Pays de la Loire region by 2040 and +24%
in Brittany*.

T
urnover at Nantes Atlantique and Saint-Nazaire
Montoir increased by 12.7% in 2012 thanks to
a growth in traffic. Excluding airport duties, the
turnover figures remain strong with more than 53%
of the income coming from commercial businesses
outside of the airlines: (car parks, retails…).
The business at Nantes Atlantique and Saint-Nazaire
Montoir airports will contribute 80 million euros
during the period 2011-2017 to the funding of the
future airport.

is already financing the future airport: 30
million euros were invested by AGO in
2011 and 2012. A similar sum will be allotted
in 2013.
Over the past year the final land purchases
have been made: 100% of the 1,239 hectares
required by the concession is now owned by
AGO (on behalf of the State), 85% having been

By the end of 2012, 926 ha were available.
In 2013, the preparatory work will follow:

surveying, initial movement of protected
species and clearing and levelling, once the
official decrees concerning "protected species"
and "water act" are in force.

W
ithin the framework of the concession agreement, Aéroports du Grand Ouest is
funding 70% of the cost of the future airport and therefore accepting the financial
risks associated with the project (in particular linked to how air traffic evolves).
The public service contract means that the proportion of public investment is limited, but it
also means that public financing partners have an interest in the airport’s results, as soon as the
operating profit exceeds forecasts (a special earn-out clause), while guaranteeing the ownership
of the State’s facilities.
The cost of reimbursing the spending on the future airport will largely be borne by users (airline
companies and passengers) and not by taxpayers.

Infrastructure
Nantes Atlantique Airport
Future airport
Traffic is developing quickly and dramatically at Nantes Atlantique whereas facilities are becoming
increasingly restrictive. That is why the management company has had to come up with innovative
solutions along with its partners to ensure everything runs smoothly up until the transfer.
T
Innovative facilities
In 2012
A Service Level Agreement or SLA was drawn up by Aéroports du Grand Ouest, bringing together
for the first time in France, the management company, the airlines and auxiliary companies at the
airport. Under the terms of this SLA, everyone involved agrees to follow common performance and
operational rules to contribute to customer satisfaction.
In 2012
The SimuAirport software was invented and designed within the company and worked on by
Stéria to stop the airport facilities from becoming saturated, by simulating passenger traffic, the
space required in each area and service (car parks, check-in counters, boarding zones…), and by
adjusting the means required to guarantee the quality of service delivered by AGO.
In 2013
By the summer, work is due to begin on the circular road around the terminal in order to
improve the flow, to optimize parking close to the terminal and to improve the movement of
people accompanying travellers (creation of a drop-off zone, an area for professional drivers
and a taxi zone).
In 2013
450 extra parking places have been created for the spring-summer season on the
Western leisure area of the airport (P0). At the same time parking is being simplified
around three possibilities: long stay, open-air parking nearby and a covered car park.
In 2013
While awaiting the transfer
To improve the flow of travellers and their safety in Hall 4 (increasingly used because of
halls 2 and 3 filling up at peak times), the area in front of the check-in desks has been
reorganized. This should ensure smoother access for passengers while queuing to check-in
or before the security control.
At Saint-Nazaire Montoir…
In 2013, Aéroports du Grand Ouest began
working with all those involved in the aircraft
sector in order to increase the number of
aircraft parking spaces. The aim is to improve the
07
movement of Belugas as the Airbus site steps
up production and strengthen the logistical and
industrial role of the airport.
he most recent project carried out by the French
State in the area of air transport is the future
airport which is relying on innovation to serve its
clients – airline companies and passengers – with:
A simple, efficient and adaptable terminal, capable
of welcoming up to 5 million passengers from its
opening.
Two dedicated runways for take off and landing
mean that waiting times in the air and taxi-ing
around the airport can be cut, leading to a reduction
in the consumption of kerosene.
Bringing aircraft into direct contact with the
terminal means offering smoother access.
The possibility of dealing with large aircraft.
3 extension phases are possible to deal with up to
9 million passengers by 2050.
The ability to include all sorts of transport link (shuttle,
tram, railway).
More services for passengers (shops, restaurants…)
right up to the departures lounges.
The ability to respect the latest security norms (the
first international transport infrastructure built in
France since the terrorist attacks of September 2001).
Low energy buildings favouring natural heat and
light (High quality environmental certification
resulting in improvements in the carbon footprint),
leading to energy consumption being cut per
passenger to a third for the new airport in comparison
to the current airport.

Airlines, routes and flight frequencies
New features while ensuring stability and variety
N
antes Atlantique Airport continues to
fulfill their main objective: satisfying the
requirements of passengers, individuals
and firms, from Western France, wishing to open
up to the world, with a choice of destinations,
times and prices. This policy benefits all those
involved at the airport – airlines, assistants,
restaurants, hotels, rental firms… – but also
contributes to the local economy.
In 2012, 32 new routes were added to the
network. This comes in addition to the stable
situation and variety of airlines already present
at the airport, and the large catchment area with
a high quality clientele throughout the whole
of Western France. This dynamic approach
explains the continued ongoing growth that
the airport has been experiencing over the
past two decades.
At the same time, the number of commercial
movements has grown by 29.32% over
6 years, reaching +5.33% in 2012 with
47,921 aircraft departures and arrivals. The
consequence of that is the infrastructures
at the airport have to cope with increasing
periods of saturation, implying management
constraints, as the airport develops.
Any prospect for development needs to be
found in the off peak period of the winter,
thanks in particular to aircraft being based
here throughout the year like the Volotea
aircraft (which opened its first base in France
in Nantes in June 2012) and Transavia.

ith the outcome of the economic
crisis remaining uncertain, and
flights to Arab countries only
gradually taking off again… All of these
reasons lead Aéroports du Grand Ouest
to be cautious about 2013, with growth
forecast to be around +6% - the equivalent
of the average annual growth at French
airports – reaching 3,870,000 passengers.
Several new routes are already planned for
the coming year:
- Palermo, Florence and Fuerteventura
with Volotea (who will be proposing
a total of 19 destinations from Nantes
Atlantique).
- Ajaccio and Antalya with Transavia
(14 direct routes in all).
Florence (Italy)
Liverpool (England)
- Liverpool with easyjet, as well as
London Gatwick becoming an all-round
service (4 times a week) and an
increased number of flights to Lyon,
Geneva and Basel Mulhouse, from the
winter of 2013/2014.
- Fes with Ryanair (an overall network of
4 direct routes).
- Ajaccio and Figari with Air Corsica, a
new airline using Nantes Airport.
Please note: the Air Austral airline has
decided to concentrate their business on
Paris by suspending all its routes from
provincial cities, which explains why the
flights to Reunion Island stopped on 17th

Passenger traffic
Nantes Atlantique Airport
Exceeding forecasts
F
rom 960,390 passengers in 1992 to
3,631,693 in 2012… On average over the
past twenty years, passenger traffic has
grown by 7% per year at Nantes Atlantique
Airport. Well beyond all the forecasts and national
and European averages, the year 2012 ended
with growth of 11.87% (as a reminder, the
forecasts in the public interest document from
2008 concerning the transfer of the airport only
forecasted this level of traffic in 2015).
This healthy growth rate is largely down to an
increase in scheduled flights of 17.92%, and
in particular those to European destinations,
which have seen an increase of 38.51% (with
20 new direct scheduled routes to leading
European cities). The domestic market has
also been healthy with an increase of 11.48%,
thanks to a widening of the flights on offer in
terms of their number, frequencies and price.
With a growth rate of +11.33%, international
traffic has finally recovered, although growth is
still rather timid with Morocco and Tunisia, and
the healthy situation for Montreal, the longest
running international long-haul flight from
Nantes Atlantique.
Only charter traffic saw a fall of 6.22% in 2012.
Part of the charter traffic has shifted to low-cost
companies like Transavia, Volotea and Vueling,
who now offer a range of scheduled routes
with more flights available for short breaks and
increased possibilities for inbound traffic. In spite
of this fall, Nantes Atlantique still remains the 1st
French regional airport for charter flights.

This is the latest concept from Brioche Dorée (Le Duff Group), with a
surface area of 90m2 with 56 seats in Hall 3, offering the French version
of fast food, to be eaten on the spot or to take away throughout the day.
The 1.44: 1 representing the Hall number and 44 the number of the Loire-Atlantique
department… A bar with a new design and a new range of products on offer, with bar service,
and with snacks available to be eaten on the spot or to take away.
The Terrasse: lounge bar with in door terrace overlooking Hall 2, to get a good view.
The Grand Comptoir: Contemporary bar-restaurant inspired by the top
brasseries with a new version of traditional cooking, which is modern,
authentic and elegant. Open since March 2013.
Café News: in the boarding area, a friendly place with a view out over the runway, with TV screens

Aelia - Duty Free: the main shop has been extended with a wider range
of products and a new area in the boarding zone for your last minute

s you board, you will find 4 Shoe Analyzer Metal Detectors at the
security check points, which are able to detect any suspicious
metal objects hidden in your shoes (without requiring you
to remove them). Nantes Atlantique is one of the first airports in
France to invest in this equipment and test it to improve the flow of
passengers making their visit as enjoyable as possible, while at the
same time improving working conditions for airport staff.
The "Smiling" campaign:
putting quality first
I
n 2012, the Smiling campaign continued to mobilize all the staff and
everyone involved at the airport around the question of the way
passengers are welcomed and the quality of service. Many events
took place during the year: Chocolate eggs were handed out at Easter, a
jazz group was present for the Music Festival Day, macaroons were given
to all passengers during the celebration of our 3 millionth passenger,
Father Christmas was present along with a man making shapes out of
balloons to contribute to the magic of the festive season… And there was
also the special Yellow Jacket Day during which employees from all of
the companies at the airport were mobilized to meet their passengers
and talk to them over a coffee. This concept was later adopted by other
airports in the VINCI Airports Group in France and in Cambodia.
Getting closer via Internet
I
n 2013, Nantes Atlantique also innovated online with the launch of
a new website and a new Facebook page, which is a gateway to
the destinations that can be reached from Nantes, as well as being
a fun place to visit around the theme of travel, and offering a means to
promote the services on offer at the airport.

several crucial stages in 2012. The
public enquiry concerning the Water
act, took place between 21st June and 7th
August, and resulted in the committee
giving a favourable outcome on 24th October
2012. Two reservations were put forward:
one concerning the calculation method for
compensation for environmental impact,
a first for a project of this size – and the
second concerning the signing of a protocol
agreement with the farming community
to establish environmental compensation
measures. At the conclusion of the inventory
of fauna and flora, a request to be exempted
from certain restrictions concerning the
protection of some species was sent to
the National Council for the Protection of
Nature (CNPN) in March 2012, and that
also received a favourable outcome on
5th July. Environmental decrees (protected
species and Water act) will be issued by
the Prefect of the Pays de la Loire Region at
the end of the analysis carried out by the
official services and when the conclusions
are published by the committee of scientific
experts set up by the government in late
November 2012 to carry out an appraisal
of the compensation method that has been
put forward. It will be at the conclusion
of this analysis and once these decrees
are issued that the authorities will
publish details of the schedule for the
construction of the airport.
As an integrated concessions-construction company, VINCI designs, finances, builds
and operates infrastructure and facilities that help improve daily life and mobility.
Because our projects are in the public interest, we at VINCI consider that we have a
duty to reach out to our public and private sector partners and to engage in dialogue
with them.
