With regard to its shareholders, BTS further explained that when the Agreement was signed (5 December 2005), the Ministry of Transport, Posts and Telecommunications of the Slovak Republic was the Airport’s sole shareholder.
Družba BTS je v zvezi s svojimi delničarji dodatno pojasnila, da je bilo ob podpisu Sporazuma (5. decembra 2005) Ministrstvo Slovaške republike za promet, pošto in telekomunikacije edini delničar letališča.
The National Property Fund of the Slovak Republic only obtained ownership rights to BTS’s shares later in the privatisation process.
Sklad Slovaške republike za nacionalno lastnino je lastninske pravice nad delnicami družbe BTS pridobil šele pozneje v postopku privatizacije.
Therefore, BTS is of the opinion that further demonstration of the role and influence of the National Property Fund is irrelevant.
Zato družba BTS meni, da ni pomembno dodatno dokazovati vloge in vpliva Sklada za nacionalno lastnino.
BTS is of the opinion that the discounts granted to Ryanair were by no means provided from State resources since, as a private joint stock company, BTS has no state resources at its disposal.
Družba BTS meni, da popusti, odobreni družbi Ryanair, nikakor niso bili zagotovljeni z državnimi sredstvi, saj družbi BTS kot zasebni delniški družbi niso na voljo državna sredstva.
In BTS’s opinion, the mere fact that the state owns BTS’s shares does not automatically involve State resources.
Družba BTS meni, da zgolj dejstvo, da je država lastnica delnic družbe BTS, ne vključuje samodejno državnih sredstev.
Pursuant to Article 295 of the EC Treaty, the Treaty does not discriminate between ownership by public authorities and private persons.
V skladu s členom 259 Pogodbe ES Pogodba ne razlikuje med lastništvom javnih organov in zasebnih subjektov.
BTS further explains that the decision to sign the agreement is not imputable to the State, although the Ministry, as the sole shareholder, appointed the members of the board of directors who negotiated and signed the Agreement in question.
Družba BTS pojasnjuje še, da za odločitev o podpisu sporazuma ni odgovorna država, čeprav je ministrstvo kot edini delničar imenovalo člane upravnega odbora, ki so se pogajali o zadevnem sporazumu in ga podpisali.
In its opinion these members were selected pursuant to BTS’s articles of association on the basis of a transparent selection procedure, and, pursuant to the Slovak Commercial Code and BTS’s articles of association, the board of directors manages the activities of the company and makes business decisions and decisions of an operational and organisational nature, except where such decisions are within the remit of other bodies.
Po njenem mnenju so bili ti člani izbrani v skladu statutom družbe BTS na podlagi preglednih izbirnih postopkov, pri čemer upravni odbor v skladu s slovaškim trgovinskim zakonikom in statutom družbe BTS upravlja dejavnosti družbe ter sprejema poslovne, operativne in organizacijske odločitve, razen če so zanje pristojni drugi organi.
In addition, pursuant to the Slovak Commercial Code, the board of directors is obliged to act for the benefit of the company and is liable for damages caused, unless it is proven that its members performed their duties with professional care and in good faith in the interests of the company.
Poleg tega mora upravni odbor v skladu s slovaškim trgovinskim zakonikom delovati v korist družbe, pri čemer je odgovoren za povzročeno škodo, razen če se dokaže, da so njegovi člani pri opravljanju svojih nalog ravnali strokovno in v dobri veri v interesu družbe.
Members of the board of directors are liable even if their actions were approved by the supervisory board.
Člani upravnega odbora so odgovorni, tudi če je njihove ukrepe odobril nadzorni odbor.
BTS explains that the management that negotiated and concluded the Agreement acted in its sole discretion with no intervention from the shareholder.
Družba BTS pojasnjuje, da je uprava, ki se je pogajala o Sporazumu in ga sklenila, ravnala po lastni presoji in brez posredovanja delničarja.
The BTS management has never been bound to submit the company’s business strategy towards individual carriers to the shareholder or any other body for approval.
Upravi družbe BTS ni bilo treba poslovne strategije družbe v zvezi s posameznimi prevozniki nikoli predložiti v odobritev delničarju ali kateremu koli drugemu organu.
AIP prices vs. the Agreement
Cene iz zbornika AIP v primerjavi s cenami iz Sporazuma
With regard to passenger and landing charges according to the AIP in force, the Airport states that charges have not changed in recent years.
Letališče glede pristojbin za potnike in pristajalnih pristojbin iz veljavnega zbornika AIP navaja, da se v zadnjih letih niso spremenile.
Only in 2008 were landing charges decreased by 7 % due to increased utilisation of the Airport.
Le leta 2008 so se pristajalne pristojbine znižale za 7 % zaradi večje uporabe letališča.
The following table summarises developments in charges from 2003 until 2008.
V naslednji preglednici je povzeto gibanje pristojbin med letoma 2003 in 2008.

Pristojbine za potnike (na potnika)
Landing charges (per 1 tonne of aircraft takeoff weight)
Pristajalne pristojbine (na eno tono vzletne mase zrakoplova)
In addition, the Airport is of the opinion that the prices stated in the AIP are only recommended prices and not binding on BTS.
Poleg tega letališče meni, da so cene, navedene v zborniku AIP, le priporočene cene, ki za družbo BTS niso zavezujoče.
These prices are applicable to air carriers which do not accept any other contractual obligation towards BTS concerning the number of routes operated, frequency of flights, volume of passengers or duration of their operations at the Airport.
Te cene se uporabljajo za letalske prevoznike, ki v zvezi z družbo BTS nimajo nobene druge pogodbene obveznosti glede števila prog, na katerih opravljajo lete, pogostnosti letov, števila potnikov ali trajanja njihovih operacij na letališču.
In BTS’s opinion, any contractual arrangement which goes beyond the scope of the standard rules stipulated by regulations and standards must be mutually balanced and reflected in prices.
Družba BTS meni, da mora biti vsak pogodbeni dogovor, ki presega področje uporabe standardnih predpisov iz uredb in norm, medsebojno usklajen, kar se mora odražati v cenah.
This gives the airport operator the possibility of differentiating the prices for services provided in connection with the obligations accepted by the air carrier, with the aim of maximising the economic benefits for the Airport.
To operaterju letališča omogoča, da določi različne cene za opravljene storitve glede na obveznosti, ki jih je sprejel letalski prevoznik, da bi čim bolj povečal gospodarske koristi za letališče.
BTS further explains that as the Agreement contains a clause concerning a year-on-year price increase of […], the difference between Ryanair and AIP prices is gradually decreasing.
Družba BTS pojasnjuje še, da Sporazum vključuje klavzulo o medletnem povišanju cene za […], zato se razlika med cenami za družbo Ryanair in cenami iz zbornika AIP postopno zmanjšuje.
Also, the ‘one-off’ reduction in AIP prices in 2008 was not reflected in Ryanair prices, further reducing the difference.
V cenah za družbo Ryanair se prav tako ni izrazilo „enkratno“ znižanje cen iz zbornika AIP v letu 2008, zato se je razlika dodatno zmanjšala.
With regard to other published AIP prices, BTS further explains that the charge for approach and air traffic control is not included in the price agreed between BTS and Ryanair as this service is not provided by BTS.
Kar zadeva druge objavljene cene iz zbornika AIP, družba BTS pojasnjuje, da pristojbina za približevanje letališču in kontrolo zračnega prometa ni vključena v ceno, o kateri sta se dogovorili družbi BTS in Ryanair, ker te storitve ne zagotavlja družba BTS.
BTS also explains that, according to the AIP in force during the period in question, aircraft parking is free for the first 2 hours.
Družba BTS pojasnjuje še, da je v skladu z zbornikom AIP, ki je veljal v zadevnem obdobju, parkiranje zrakoplova prvi dve uri brezplačno.
Therefore BTS does not see how Ryanair gains any real benefit under the Agreement with regard to free parking, as firstly this condition corresponds to the AIP in force and, secondly, Ryanair’s aircraft do not stay at the Airport longer than 2 hours [15].
Zato družba BTS ne razume, zakaj bi imela družba Ryanair na podlagi Sporazuma kakršne koli dejanske koristi zaradi brezplačnega parkiranja, ker je ta pogoj po eni strani v skladu z veljavnim zbornikom AIP in ker po drugi strani zrakoplovi družbe Ryanair na letališču ne ostanejo več kot dve uri [15].
In the opinion of BTS, the information given above demonstrates that the contractual prices agreed between BTS and Ryanair are not at variance with the recommended AIP prices, despite their different structure, that they reflect the obligations assumed by Ryanair and that they provide an economic gain for BTS which is comparable to or higher than that from other carriers.
Po mnenju družbe BTS zgoraj navedene informacije kažejo, da pogodbene cene, o katerih sta se dogovorili družbi BTS in Ryanair, kljub različni strukturi niso v nasprotju s priporočenimi cenami iz zbornika AIP, da izražajo obveznosti, ki jih je sprejela družba Ryanair, in da družbi BTS omogočajo gospodarski dobiček, ki je primerljiv ali večji kot pri drugih prevoznikih.
BTS also explains that a discount on the unit price alone cannot be a reason to claim that the recipient received an economic advantage.
Družba BTS še pojasnjuje, da zgolj zaradi popusta na ceno enote ni mogoče trditi, da je bila prejemniku zagotovljena gospodarska prednost.
The market economy investor principle and the Ryanair agreement
Načelo vlagatelja v tržnem gospodarstvu in sporazum z družbo Ryanair
BTS further explains that, in signing the Agreement, it did not seek to achieve regional economic development nor possible inward investment in the first place.
Družba BTS prav tako pojasnjuje, da prvotni namen podpisa Sporazuma ni bil doseganje regionalnega gospodarskega razvoja niti mogočih vhodnih naložb.
It states that the main objective of its business decision was to increase revenues from aviation and non-aviation activities, to diversify the risk and the dependence on Sky Europe — the single key air carrier at the Airport — and to create more stable development of passenger volumes at the Airport.
Navaja, da je bil glavni cilj njene poslovne odločitve povečati prihodke iz letalskih in neletalskih dejavnosti, zmanjšati tveganje in odvisnost od prevoznika SkyEurope, edinega ključnega letalskega prevoznika na letališču, ter stabilizirati gibanje števila potnikov na letališču.
In the opinion of BTS, all these factors would help to increase its market value.
Družba BTS meni, da bi vsi ti dejavniki prispevali k povečanju njene tržne vrednosti.

BTS also argues that, as the Agreement was concluded in December 2005, the data available at that time should be used for comparison, i.e. airport charges applicable at other European airports competing with BTS in attracting air carriers comparable to Ryanair.
Poleg tega družba BTS trdi, da je bil Sporazum sklenjen decembra 2005, zato bi bilo treba za primerjavo uporabiti podatke, ki so bili takrat na voljo, tj. letališke pristojbine, ki so se uporabljale na drugih evropskih letališčih, ki so konkurenti družbe BTS pri privabljanju letalskih prevoznikov, kakršen je družba Ryanair.
BTS further argues that it is generally known that privately owned airports usually provide discounts to airlines in the expectation of increasing profitability.
Družba BTS trdi tudi, da je splošno znano, da letališča v zasebni lasti običajno zagotavljajo popuste letalskim družbam, ker pričakujejo rast donosov letališča.
The discounts granted to Ryanair may seem to be providing an economic advantage if comparing unit prices as such, without taking account of the economic benefits and effects for the airport.
Če se primerjajo cene enot kot take, ne da bi se upoštevali gospodarske koristi in učinki za letališče, se lahko zdi, da popusti, ki so bili odobreni družbi Ryanair, zagotavljajo gospodarsko prednost.
In BTS’s opinion, unit prices cannot be assessed without considering other contractual arrangements and without their relation to the number of passengers carried, the total annual number of passengers, the weight of aircraft, the regularity and number of flights during a year, seasonality and corresponding costs and other factors influencing the profitability of the airport as a whole.
Družba BTS meni, da cen enot ni mogoče ocenjevati ločeno od preučitve drugih pogodbenih dogovorov ter števila prepeljanih potnikov, skupnega letnega števila potnikov, mase zrakoplovov, rednosti in števila letov v letu, sezonskih letov in povezanih stroškov ter drugih dejavnikov, ki vplivajo na donosnost letališča kot tako.
All these factors affect an airport’s revenues and costs and must be taken into account when comparing prices charged to individual carriers.
Vsi ti dejavniki vplivajo na prihodke in stroške letališča ter jih je treba upoštevati pri primerjavi cen, ki se zaračunajo posameznim prevoznikom.
BTS is of the opinion that, in concluding the Agreement, it acted as a private investor in a market economy.
Družba BTS meni, da je ob sklenitvi Sporazuma delovala kot zasebni vlagatelj v tržnem gospodarstvu.
BTS carried out financial calculations of the profitability of the Agreement with Ryanair before signing it.
Pred podpisom Sporazuma z družbo Ryanair je izvedla finančne izračune glede njegove donosnosti.
Several conference calls between the management of BTS and Ryanair took place in order to negotiate the conditions.
Med upravo družbe BTS in družbo Ryanair je potekalo več konferenčnih pogovorov, na katerih so se udeleženci pogajali glede pogojev.
BTS’s calculations assessed the costs and expected revenue resulting from the Agreement and were based on the experiences of various airports with low-cost carriers.
V izračunih družbe BTS so bili ocenjeni stroški in pričakovani prihodki na podlagi Sporazuma, pri čemer so ti izračuni temeljili na izkušnjah različnih letališč z nizkocenovnimi prevozniki.
BTS further explains that, when the Agreement was concluded, the airport had sufficient operational capacity to increase passenger numbers in subsequent years, and therefore did not expect an additional increase in fixed costs related to increased capacity.
Družba BTS pojasnjuje tudi, da je imelo letališče ob sklenitvi Sporazuma zadostne operativne zmogljivosti za povečanje števila potnikov v naslednjih letih, zato ni pričakovalo dodatnega povišanja stalnih stroškov zaradi povečanja zmogljivosti.
It also states that an agreement with another air carrier to ensure an increase in passenger numbers comparable to that provided by Ryanair would be concluded under comparable conditions.
Prav tako navaja, da bi se sporazum z drugim letalskim prevoznikom, ki bi omogočil primerljivo povečanje števila potnikov kot družba Ryanair, sklenil pod primerljivimi pogoji.
In relation to the nature of services provided by BTS to Ryanair’s passengers and aircraft, it explains that those services are significantly cheaper than those provided to standard carriers.
V zvezi z naravo storitev, ki jih družba BTS zagotavlja potnikom in zrakoplovom družbe Ryanair, družba BTS pojasnjuje, da so te storitve precej cenejše kot storitve, ki se zagotavljajo običajnim prevoznikom.
BTS further explains that the revenue from the Agreement with Ryanair represents a ‘guaranteed income’ stream.
Družba BTS še pojasnjuje, da je prihodek na podlagi sporazuma z družbo Ryanair tok „zagotovljenega prihodka“.
This is in particular because, according to Article 2.1 of the Agreement, in the period from 1 July 2009 to 30 June 2016 Ryanair is obliged to pay BTS for a minimum of […] flights per day, even if it operates fewer flights in this period.
Razlog za to je zlasti, da mora družba Ryanair v skladu s členom 2.1 Sporazuma družbi BTS v obdobju od 1. julija 2009 do 30. junija 2016 plačevati za najmanj […] letov na dan, tudi če bi v tem obdobju opravila manj letov.
In BTS’s opinion, this commitment from Ryanair allows for better planning of long-term investment at the Airport.
Družba BTS meni, da ta zaveza družbe Ryanair omogoča boljše načrtovanje dolgoročnih naložb na letališču.
In addition, BTS explains that, due to Ryanair, non-aviation revenue at the Airport has increased substantially.
Poleg tega pojasnjuje, da so se zaradi družbe Ryanair neletalski prihodki na letališču znatno povečali.
In relation to the mechanism for the application of the Agreement-based discount for new destinations, BTS emphasises that the discount cannot be calculated in relation to the first year of the Agreement’s validity, but to the first 12 months from the commencement of links to the relevant destinations.
Družba BTS v zvezi z mehanizmom za uporabo popusta iz Sporazuma za nove namembne kraje poudarja, da popusta ni mogoče izračunati glede na prvo leto veljavnosti Sporazuma, ampak ga je mogoče izračunati glede na prvih dvanajst mesecev od vzpostavitve povezav z zadevnimi namembnimi kraji.
In relation to discounts for the so-called ‘new destinations’, BTS is also of the opinion that such a discount does not constitute a selective economic advantage to Ryanair, since BTS is only ready to provide the discounted prices for destinations meeting the respective criteria set out in the Agreement and providing an economic gain for the Airport.
Kar zadeva popuste za tako imenovane „nove namembne kraje“, družba BTS meni, da tak popust ne pomeni selektivne gospodarske prednosti za družbo Ryanair, ker je družba BTS pripravljena znižane cene odobriti le za namembne kraje, ki izpolnjujejo ustrezna merila iz Sporazuma in letališču omogočajo gospodarski dobiček.
BTS also emphasises that the carrier is eligible for the discounted price only in the case of a regular destination with at least […] flights per week.
Poudarja tudi, da je prevoznik do znižane cene upravičen le, če je to redni namembni kraj z vsaj […] leti na teden.
With the anticipated minimum utilisation of the capacity of B 737-800 aircraft (63 %) [17], this represents at least 90000 new passengers per year, representing more than 6,5 % of the total number of passengers handled by the airport at the time the Agreement was signed and more than 4,3 % of the total number of passengers handled by the airport in 2007.
Ob pričakovani najmanjši uporabi zmogljivosti zrakoplova B 737-800 (63 %) [17] to pomeni vsaj 90000 novih potnikov na leto, kar znaša več kot 6,5 % vseh potnikov na letališču ob podpisu Sporazuma in še vedno več kot 4,3 % skupnega števila potnikov na letališču v letu 2007.
At the same time it must be stated that, to date, only one of Ryanair’s destinations since the signature of the Agreement has complied with the conditions for granting the discount, namely Frankfurt-Hahn.
Hkrati je treba poudariti, da je do zdaj od podpisa Sporazuma le eden od namembnih krajev družbe Ryanair izpolnil pogoje za odobritev popusta, in sicer Frankfurt-Hahn.
At the time of signing the Agreement, no other air carrier operated regular flights to this destination, nor do they now, so there was no takeover of existing passengers of another air carrier by Ryanair.
Ob podpisu Sporazuma ni noben drug letalski prevoznik opravljal rednih letov v ta namembni kraj, niti jih ne opravlja zdaj, zato družba Ryanair ni prevzela obstoječih potnikov drugega letalskega prevoznika.
In addition, BTS explains that if an air carrier complies with the conditions of a ‘new destination’, the economic gain from such a destination, even after granting the highest discount in the first year, is more than […] per year, which is […] more than for a common average destination served by another carrier with three flights per week under AIP prices (i.e. […]) and nearly […] more than for another carrier’s destination with five flights per week under AIP prices (i.e. […]).
Poleg tega družba BTS pojasnjuje, da če letalski prevoznik izpolnjuje pogoje za „nov namembni kraj“, je gospodarski dobiček zaradi takega namembnega kraja tudi po odobritvi največjega popusta v prvem letu več kot […] na leto, kar je […] več kot za običajen povprečni namembni kraj, v katerega trikrat na teden leti drug prevoznik na podlagi cen iz zbornika AIP (tj. […]) in skoraj […] več kot za namembni kraj drugega prevoznika s petimi leti na teden na podlagi cen iz zbornika AIP (tj. […]).
BTS is of the opinion that a new destination contributes significantly to the growth and development of the airport, particularly due to higher utilisation of airport capacity (terminal building and runways), where the gain from the high volume of revenues obtained as a result of introducing this new destination greatly exceeds the discounts provided and significantly contributes to the company’s existing fixed costs [18] and, at the same time, to the sustainability of prices for services provided by the Airport (see AIP price development).
Družba BTS meni, da nov namembni kraj pomembno prispeva k rasti in razvoju letališča zlasti zaradi večje izkoriščenosti letaliških zmogljivosti (zgradbe terminala in vzletno-pristajalnih stez), pri čemer dobiček zaradi visokih prihodkov, pridobljenih na podlagi uvedbe takega novega namembnega kraja, izrazito presega odobrene popuste ter pomembno prispeva k obstoječim stalnim stroškom družbe [18] in hkrati k vzdržnosti cen za storitve, ki jih zagotavlja letališče (glej gibanje cen iz zbornika AIP).
BTS further states that such a new destination also helps to increase the share of regular traffic at the airport and reduces the irregular utilisation of airport capacity caused by summer (charter) flights, which are the most significant factors affecting the need for investment in new airport capacity, and which place a burden on the airport’s budget through depreciation and interest, and subsequently result in the need to increase prices for services provided.
Družba BTS prav tako navaja, da tak nov namembni kraj prispeva tudi k povečanju deleža rednega prometa na letališču in zmanjšuje neredno uporabo letaliških zmogljivosti zaradi (čarterskih) letov v poletni sezoni, ki so najpomembnejši dejavniki, ki vplivajo na potrebo po naložbah v nove letališke zmogljivosti in obremenjujejo proračun letališča zaradi amortizacij in obresti ter posledično ustvarjajo potrebo po zvišanju cen za opravljene storitve.
BTS further explains that the conditions for granting discounts for new destinations must respect a seven-flights-per-week frequency, which was fulfilled by Ryanair only in the case of Frankfurt-Hahn.
Družba BTS pojasnjuje tudi, da je treba pri pogojih za odobritev popustov za nove namembne kraje upoštevati pogostnost sedmih letov na teden, kar je družba Ryanair izpolnila le za Frankfurt-Hahn.
However, Ryanair opened several ‘new’ destinations for which it did not receive discounts because of insufficient weekly flight frequencies (e.g. Stockholm-Skavsta, East Midlands, Bristol and Bremen).
Vendar je družba Ryanair uvedla več „novih“ namembnih krajev, za katere ni pridobila popustov zaradi nezadostne tedenske pogostnosti letov (na primer Stockholm-Skavsta, East Midlands, Bristol in Bremen).
With regard to the profitability of routes, BTS explains that it does not have this information at its disposal and that the profitability of a route can only be evaluated by the air carrier.
Kar zadeva donosnost prog, družba BTS pojasnjuje, da teh informacij nima na voljo in da jo lahko oceni le letalski prevoznik.
Since the beginning of its services at BTS, Ryanair cancelled only one route (Bratislava-Bremen, Germany).
Odkar je družba Ryanair začela leteti na letališče BTS, je ukinila le eno progo (Bratislava–Bremen, Nemčija).
