Turin Airport is one of the most important economic entities in Piedmont and provides employment for approximately 3,000 people.
SAGAT S.p.A. manages the entire airport area and is primarily responsible for:
- the planning, construction and maintenance of infrastructures related to air traffic (e.g. the runway and air traffic control equipment);
- the planning, construction and maintenance of the infrastructures and buildings used by passengers and operators (air terminals with relative commercial areas, car parks, offices and installations);
- the management of centralised infrastructures as defined by Leg. Decree 18/99 (including jetways and mobile stairs, baggage sorting systems, airport IT and passenger information systems);
- the activities carried out in the airport area, which are entrusted to other economic entities (including those who run restaurants, bars, shops and car rental companies).
The Group includes the companies SAGAT S.p.A, SAGAT Handling S.p.A, SAGAT Engineering S.r.l., Sistema S.r.l. and Aeroporti Holding S.r.l.
In 2008, the SAGAT Group registered a production value of almost 66 million euros and a net profit of 4.2 million euros.
The staff of SAGAT consists of approximately 400 employees. Since 2001, following the above-mentioned
D. Lgs. 18/99, handling services (i.e. land assistance for passengers, goods and
airplanes) are not anymore directly carried out by airport managing companies,
due to market liberalization. On October 1st, 2001 SAGAT Handling S.p.A.
was founded, as a 100% SAGAT controlled company, to manage ground handling services.
SAGAT Engineering S.r.l., completely owned by SAGAT, has been formed, on
the other hand, on March 14th, 2003. The company manages the execution of feasibility
studies, researches, advising and designing activities, work directions, tests,
yard emergency implementations, evaluations of technical and economic convenience,
and furthermore technical and administrative activities for the development of
entrusting procedures and the implementation of tasks and pieces of work directly
or indirectly connected to the airport activities. On December 2000 SAGAT has
become privatized.
The group formed by Holding Edition S.p.A., IMI Investimenti
S.p.A., Aeroporto "G. Marconi" di Bologna S.p.A. and Aviapartner S.p.A. acquired
41.33% of the parcel of shares, sold by Municipality of Turin, Province of Turin, Piedmont
Region and Turin Chamber of Commerce.
By the partial privatization
process completion, SAGAT opened the phase of collaboration between the old shareholders,
as reference partners for the regional development and promoters of the tourist
and economic activities, and the new shareholders, who are in charge of the direct
management of the Company.
The new shareholders, thanks
to their know how in the aeronautical and not aeronautical fields, are putting
into effect the development plan, which has been thought in the awareness that
the Turin airport represents a strategic pole for economy, not only from a local
point of view, but also regional and national.
SAGAT S.p.A. is an ISO 9001 certified company.
