ENAV says it managed 2 million flights over Italy in the first nine months of 2026 and has raised its full-year outlook, signalling stronger demand for the air-navigation services it provides.
ANSA reported that, in results approved through 30 September, ENAV put route-traffic growth at 7.2% and terminal-traffic growth at 4.8% in service units compared with the first nine months of 2025. The company lifted its 2026 route-traffic growth forecast to about 7%, from a previous estimate of slightly below 6%.
ENAV also reported consolidated nine-month revenue of EUR812.8 million, up 8.6% year on year, and net profit of EUR90.9 million, up 36.5%. It raised its EBITDA growth guidance to 8% to 10% versus 2025.
The figures point to an expanding workload for Italy's air-navigation system. ENAV chief executive Igor De Biasio said Italy was strengthening its central role on international routes, though the material supplied does not identify the airports or routes driving the increase.
That distinction matters. Service-unit traffic and ENAV's financial results describe air-traffic-management activity, not passenger numbers or airport performance. They offer no measure of delays, crowding, fares or traveller experience, so the operational record should not be read as evidence that those parts of the journey have improved.
