IRESA - REGIONAL TAX FOR AIRCRAFT NOISE EMISSIONS
Emilia-Romagna Region introduced noise charge IRESA (Regional Tax on aircraft noise emissions) effective from 1st January 2020.
This tax is calculated for each landing and take-off movement, on MTOW (maximum take-off weight of the aircraft) and its amount will depend on the noise certification chapter of each aircraft, as well as on a number of other parameters set forth in art. 16 of the Regional Law 21/12/2012 nbr 15 and following modifications and updates.
From 1 January 2023, the Iresa discount will be applied to flights is as follows:
- 90% take-off on runway 30 North-West, towards Bargellino area;
- 30% at landings for runway 12 Southeast, from Bargellino area.
In case the detection system of take-off and landing routes should not be capable of detecting the take-off and/or landing route as a result of shutdown of the transponder on board and/or other technical causes, the full rate Iresa tax will be calculated.
IRESA tax is due by carriers, based on Bologna Airport invoices and proceeds are periodically remitted by Bologna Airport to Emilia-Romagna Region.
Please see Emilia-Romagna Region web site for all information about IRESA law, rates and penalty.
In order to operate the levy from 1st January 2020, carriers should send the noise certificate of their fleet’s aircrafts through this e-mail address airsideoperation@bologna-airport.it.
operations@tagbologna.com for General Aviation.
In case of non-compliance with the request to transmit noise certificates by the date of the flight operations, Aeroporto G. Marconi di Bologna is required, as per the Agreement with Emilia-Romagna Region, to apply the rate of € 0.50 per ton or fraction of the maximum take-off weight.
As regards the tax exemptions, Carriers entitled not to be taxed (art. 15 of RL 21/12/2016) are responsible for sending Bologna Airport all the data necessary to apply the exemption by the date of their flight operations (airsideoperation@bologna-airport.it; General Aviation operations@tagbologna.com). In the absence of this information and of the noise certificate, the rate of € 0.50 per ton or fraction of the maximum take-off weight will be applied.
Policy on traffic development
The traffic development policy adopted by BLQ aims at supporting Guglielmo Marconi Airport’s sustainable development, bearing in mind its catchment area’s features, the opportunities and interests raised by the territory as well as its stakeholders’ requests, always concerned with fine-tuning the Airport’s focus on enlarging connectivity and the Citizens’ need for environmental sustainability, especially in terms of noise reduction during night hours. The Policy is periodically adjusted and updated both to grant the uninterrupted compliance (firstly with Antitrust) of the proposals addressed to the market and to adapt the ever-changing traffic growth strategies (and the variety of international and domestic connections) to the Airport’s infrastructure capacity.
The proposed incentive model varies according to the whole number of routes which the different Airlines commit to operate through development plans in line with the targets set forth in the Policy. It also aims at regulating the Airport’s sustainable development in a transparent, non-discriminatory way, making the best possible use of the Airport’s infrastructure, in compliance with the applicable law.
