The French airports are calling for the aid of the State to pay the companies of safety

"No response from the government, the French airports will be unable to ensure in the next few weeks the payment of the companies of safety," said this morning on BFM Business the president of the Union of French airports (UAF), Thomas June. The representative of the sector calls for the urgent help of the State in support of the "core duty" carried on by these societies of control and security within airports.

"It's not blackmail, it works in concert with the State, but it attests to the urgency of the situation. We have fixed costs on the airports, which are extremely important and we are trying to overcome it," explained Thomas June. The air traffic is quasi-stationary for more than two months with, as a result, almost no inflow of money. "In the clear, we have a tax that is paid by the passenger and which allows you to pay for these safety missions, except that there are fixed costs that continue to run and as the recovery will be very low we will be in deficit," he said. A deficit estimated at 500 million euros," according to him.

"the solution is to increase taxes and reduce the deficit, but tomorrow that means another brake on the recovery, the State takes its share in this theme, because it is a function regal regularly funded in Europe by the public authorities", emphasized the president of the UAF.

He has also reacted to the announcement of the ministry of Labour yesterday on the 15% drop of the support device of partial unemployment by the State as early as June 1st. "We have had to resort to partial unemployment of a massive scale", he commented adding that the sector generated "200,000 jobs". "We ask that everyone in the airline industry ( ... ), and companies that gravitate to be able to use the same device", without the rest to support for employers. "This is an arbitration, there is a listening on the topic. It is said that there are significant fixed costs, and if we can reduce those, it will allow us to support the recovery and keep the skills".
