Aeroporto di Genova, per l’Autorità portuale vale tra 15 e 16 milioni

The Aeroporto di Genova, operated by the Cristoforo Colombo airline, is valued between €14.9 million and €15.9 million, with an estimated range of nearly €1 million, according to Matteo Paroli, president of the Western Liguria Port System Authority. Paroli clarified that the Authority holds 60% of the shares, while the remaining 40% is held by the Genova Chamber of Commerce.

The valuation was carried out by PwC, hired by Adsp to assess the overall asset value ahead of a shareholder company's opening through a tender with a majority shareholder and minority shareholders from the Liguria Region and Genova City.

This valuation, Paroli explained, serves as the starting point for future discussions, pending confirmation from Cciaa, which commissioned a separate evaluation from the University of Genova. The tender process is expected to be published by the end of November. Paroli emphasized the need for a strong industrial partner, stating that entering the market with a robust shareholder will significantly enhance the management company's capabilities.

The current concession expires in 2029, and Enac will issue a tender for the port assets, making it crucial to secure a strong partner to avoid the risk of losing all assets if the concession is awarded to another bidder. The agreement signed in February 2026 already allowed for the possibility of minority shareholders' participation, with the majority of shares to be held by the private industrial shareholder selected through the tender.

Paroli noted that if PwC's valuation differs from the one commissioned by Cciaa, they will evaluate the discrepancy, and there is a possibility of multiple rounds of tenders with varying valuation ranges.
