Question 1434 — air transport

Summary

Mr. Jean-Luc Lagleize draws the attention of the Minister of the Economy and Finance to the situation of the Aéroport Toulouse-Blagnac company and questions him about the Government's strategy on this issue. Indeed, through the decree of April 15, 2015 setting the terms of transfer to the private sector of a participation held by the State in the capital of the company Aéroport Toulouse-Blagnac, the State formalized the transfer of 49.99% of the shares of the Aéroport Toulouse-Blagnac company to the Chinese consortium CASIL Europe, for a total gain of 308 million euros. The decree also confirms an option to sell the remaining 10.01% of the 60% that the State held in the company Aéroport Toulouse-Blagnac, which manages the sixth French airport. Indeed, “the price and, where applicable, the price supplement of the 14,814 shares sold in the event of exercise of the put option, representing 10.01 % of the capital of the company Aéroport Toulouse-Blagnac, will be determined according to the formulas described in the appendix to this decree. The sale option may be exercised by the State at the end of a period of three years and for a period of six months, renewable once,” specifies the decree. At present, local authorities own a total of 40% of the shares of the Aéroport Toulouse-Blagnac company (5% respectively for the Occitanie region, the departmental council of Haute-Garonne and Toulouse Métropole and 25% for the Toulouse chamber of commerce and industry). The 10.01% stake that the State still holds is therefore essential to avoid total privatization, preserve a public majority and therefore guarantee the public authorities' right to review corresponding to a concerted development strategy with local stakeholders. Indeed, transport infrastructures, and particularly airports, are public tools for territorial development and a public majority is therefore necessary to safeguard a relevant strategy at local, regional and national level. He questions him about the Government's strategy regarding the remaining 10.01% of shares owned by the State.
