The Annual Report 2017 presents ALBCONTROL’s achievements in increasing safety and quality of air navigation services in Albania during this successful and dynamic year.We have completed a four year investment to upgrade Tirana Tower, by installing cutting edge technological equipment in new consoles to facilitate the work process for air traffic controllers, in order to operate safely and to provide high quality services.The activation of the Remote Surface Manage-ment System (RSMS), has significantly Improved the visibility of taxiway W, the main apron and
the north apron, it has eliminated several blind spots and it has enhanced visibility of take-offs and landings during darkness and other low visibility conditions.The improvements done to the Skyline System over the last few years have brought, among other improvements, the automation of the Control Tower’s functions, the improvement of coordination and exchange of information, a speed up in terms of data processing, and an increased safety during landings and take offs. As part of this 4-year investment, the CRS (Centralized Rostering System) and PRS (Personal Rostering System) have enabled online communication with all users, reviewing every request through the use of the online Personal Rostering System (PRS). Additionally PRS can also be downloaded as a mobile application, and is available for
15
smartphones (Android and iPhone). Since December 2017, Free Route Operations in Albanian Airspace (FRALB) have been applied 24/7. The FRALB implementation offers significant opportunities to airspace users, increasing the efficiency of air traffic in our airspace, and significantly contributing towards the reduction of harmful environmental impacts caused by aviation through the reduction of CO2 emissions. With the implementation of the FRALB, traffic increase is expected, and thus the airspace will become more complex. In order to support ATCO in safely handling traffic, ALBCONTROL has implemented significant improve-ments in the Skyline system by creating a Stripless environment in Tirana ACC, assuring silent automatic coordination between ATC sectors, and by employing additional ATC tools for conflict detection. During 2017, ALBCONTROL provided zero delay services, fulfilling one of the main required EU standards to operate safely and to provide quality services.Our operations remained at a high level, as confirmed by the customer satisfaction surveys that we perform regularly. Furthermore, we also continued our dynamic and proactive development as part of the growing industry that is the aviation field. In this Annual Report of the year 2017, we have the pleasure to present some pictures of the early stages of the aviation in Albania, collected from archives of the time, representing images of the first flights and airports in Albania.

Terminal Flights increased by 10 % during 2017 reaching a total amount of 24,336.New airline companies such as “Wizz Air” and “SmartWings” started operations in the “Mother Teresa” International Airport, flying to new destinations such as Budapest, Amsterdam, Prague and London.
51
CHARGES FOR AIR NAVIGATION SERVICES
In 2017, both charges for “en-route” and terminal navigation services at “Mother Teresa” Airport, were set in accordance to the International Civil Aviation Organization rules and the European Commission Regulation EC Regulation No. 1794/2006, applied by Albania since 2008, amended EC No.1191/2010.Pursuant to the Regulation of the European Commission No, 391/2013, during 2017 Albania continued to apply the principle of the full cost recovery method.
The 2017 “en-route” navigation charges were in compliance with “The principles for establishing the cost-base for route facility charges and the calculation of the unit rates”, issued by EUROCONTROL.
ALBCONTROL has been consistently applying a customer oriented policy in setting charges for air navigation services. Prior to final approval, the charges are consulted with air space users. The final consultation with IATA and EUROCONTROL on charges for “en-route” navigation service in 2017 took place in Brussels during the EUROCONTROL Enlarged Committee for the Route Charges in November Session. The Unit rate was approved by the enlarged commission.
52
CHARGES FOR “EN-ROUTE” NAVIGATION SERVICES
Since 2003 the “en-route” service charges are applied based on the rules established in the Multilateral Agreement Relating to Route Charges and EUROCONTROL principles. Consequently, the billing, collection, and recovery of charges for “en-route” navigation services are managed by the Central Route Charges Office (CRCO). The basis for calculation of the “en-route” navigation charges is the rate for Service Unit. The Service Unit is defined as the number of kilometers flown in airspace for the Albanian Republic divided by 100, multiplied by the square root of one fiftieth of the maximum take-off weights of the aircraft (MTOW) in tons.
The basic unit rate for en-route navigation services in 2017 was set at 6,787 ALL = 49.61 € per Service Unit. The cost base was calculated in Albanian ALL. Compared to the 2016 basic unit rate, the 2017 rate represented a year-on-year decrease of 0.3%.
However, the basic rate converted to Euro, which is valid for a period of one year, is used for reference only, as the actual rates paid by users of services for a single calendar month depend on Euro/ALL exchange rate fluctuations during the year.
The chart below shows the developments of monthly charges for “en-route” navigation services against the basic reference rate announced in 2017, depending on the exchange rate movements.

CHARGES FOR TERMINAL NAVIGATION SERVICE
From 1 January 2016 EUROCONTROL is entrusted with the collection of terminal charges on the behalf of ALBCONTROL. The terminal charge is levied for each IFR flight departing from Tirana International Airport (LATI).The terminal charge R is calculated in accordance with the following formula:
R = t x N
Where “t” is the unit rate of charge and “N” is the number of service units corresponding to terminal air navigation services made available.The unit rate t is calculated by dividing the forecast number of total terminal service units for the relevant year into the corresponding cost-base for terminal services.For a given departing flight, the number of service units in respect of terminal charges, designated N, is obtained by dividing by fifty the Maximum Take-off Weight (MTOW), expressed in metric tons, which is used for calculating the EUROCONTROL route charge for the flight concerned, to the power of 0.7.The basic unit rate of charge applicable from 1 January 2017 was EUR 202.07.
59
The rate of interest on late payment of terminal charges applicable from 1 January 2017 was 9.88% per annum.The following flights are exempted from the payment of the terminal charges:+

ATM SECURITY
The activity of 2017’s ATM Security in ALBCONTROL focused on the fulfillment of the national legislation requirements regarding the security aspects in civil aviation, and more specifically in the ATM field. As such the ATM Security Directory has been subject to several security inspections performed by Albanian CAA. In order to improve the quality of work, the security personnel performed and completed successfully the 2017 ALBCONTROL training plan concerning ATM Security, in compliance with the National Program of Security Control. The security systems have been checked periodically by performing foreseen drills. Several security awareness sessions have been held during 2017, providing relevant information on the ATM Security.During 2017 ALBCONTROL implemented an internal information security system that classifies the information collected according to different levels of access. Procedures and manuals were updated defining specific requirements to be followed from the staff, in order to assure the protection of information. The implementation of the requirements is strictly monitored through periodical audits.
73
QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
During 2017, in regard to Integrated Management System and Time of Services and Costs Efficiency, ALBCONTROL was dedicated to maintain and constantly enhance the quality of services to the costumer. Periodical audits were conducted in collaboration with Quality Austria along the year, in order to verify the compliance of Standards (ISO 9001, ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001, ISO27001, and ISO20000) and Single European Sky Requirements (SES-CR). New versions of standards ISO 9001/2015 and ISO 14001/2015 were initiated in order to prepare their certification process.
74
ENVIRONMENT
Aiming for the improvement of suitability, adequacy and effectiveness of the environmental management system, we updated our environmental policies during 2017 and refreshed our environmental risk evaluations accordingly.
In accordance with CEM (Collaboration Environmental Management), ALBCONTROL has improved and updated its Letter of Agreement with the TIA airport Authorities. Our people have been constantly trained, in accord with ISO14001/2015, in order to reach the new certification process forecasted to be finalized in 2018. The implementation of “FRALB” in the Albanian Airspace, led to shorter flight routes and thus generated savings for airspace users in terms of flight efficiency, demonstrating a much lower negative impact on the environment. Since May 2017 (only for ATS route AKIKA-TRN-DIMIS from time 22:00 till 06:00) 729 flights has flown 3645 km less, resulting in reduced operating costs of 126.900 Euro, approximately 16.785 kg less fuel was consumed, and CO2 emission levels were reduced by 52.874 kg.

FREE ROUTE AIRSPACE (FRALB)
Since December 2017 Free Route Operations are applied 24/7 in Tirana FIR, from FL195 to FL660. The application of the FRALB concept encompasses the horizontal boundaries of Tirana FIR fully, as published in AIP Albania, ENR 2.1.
Free Route Airspace offers significant opportunities to airspace users. They will be able to freely plan a route between a defined entry and exit point, reducing flying distances and fuel consumption. A FRA environment will improve the predictability due to more stable trajectories while enhancing the role of conflict detention tools. In addition, aircraft conflicts will be better managed.
By increasing the efficiency of air traffic, the FRA will contribute towards the reduction of the environmental impact caused by aviation through the reduction of co2 emissions.
83
VISUAL APPROACH CHART
STRIPLESS ENVIRONMENT
The goal of this project was the publication of a visual map representing the CTR in accordance with ICAO Annex 14. In December 2017, the map was included in the AIP as a ‘Visual Approach Chart’. Pilots are now able to identify obstacles in the CTR.
With the implementation of the FRA in the Albanian Airspace, traffic has increased, and thus the airspace has become more complex. In order to support ATCO in safely handling traffic (by reducing their workload, while increasing situational awareness) ALBCONTROL has implemented a Stripless environment in Tirana ACC. Our working methods, tools and procedures have been adjusted adequately. Furthermore, the Skyline system has also been improved, as has the silent automatic coordination between ATC sectors.
84
IMPLEMENTATION OF LOW VISIBILITY PROCEDURES
Low visibility procedures (LVP) are established to support departure operations in RVR conditions less than a value of 550m, or when part of the manoeuvring area cannot be monitored.
Advantages of LVP:
To reduce conflicts and incursions between aircraft, vehicles and pedestrian traffic.To enable the availability of various support equipment and facilities.To support efficient flow of air traffic. To facilitate coordinated actions by various agencies.

SYSTEMS
SKYLINE
AWOS / ATIS
During 2017 our engineers successfully implemented major changes in ATM System, in order to support the implementations of the FRA and a stripless environment in ATC Operations. These complex changes in our operations have been made possible by an excellent level of coordination between the technical and operational staff, with full support of the ATM system supplier. Thanks to continuous monitoring of the systems, we recorded excellent performance levels of the ATM system supporting the FRA and the stripless environment.
During 2017, the AWOS/ATIS System has been reliable and the Service Level Agreement with integrator has been in place to ensure maintenance. Additionally, the sensors were continuously calibrated in accordance with maintenance manual.
99
COMMUNICATION
Our communication system is composed by two VCS and VHF/UHF radios. All of our systems have displayed a high level of performance and have been well maintained by Albcontrols engineers, as well as its suppliers through Level 3 maintenance. Two sites (only receivers) have been made functional in July of 2017 dramatically improving VHF coverage in northeast, southeast and low level flights for traffic departing from the Ionian island. The implementation of the BSS (Best Signal Selection) allowed our systems to automatically select the appropriate radios needed quickly. On October 2017, Albcontrol has begun a new project to support IP operations for VHF radios. It is projected to be implemented by 2019 and has been separated into two phases.
NAVIGATION
Navigation systems worked within standards, confirmed by routine flight checks conducted on May and November 2017. Reports indicate that these systems have been available 100% of the time, with great reliability and integrity.Problems reported on DVOR monitoring have been managed through the creation of a workaround plan. The technical Division has planned to upgrade its monitoring kit for the DVOR in order to comply with all safety requirement listed in Albcontrol USC (Unit Safety Case). Coordination with TIA regarding their civil works in airside has been excellent, with a minimum impact on operation. New procedure has been agreed to and implemented.
100
SURVEILLANCE
The Surveillance System is composed of two MSSR radars owned, maintained and operated by Albcontrol, as well as, two other MSSR radars from neighboring ANSP, base of Radar Data Sharing Agreement. From the beginning of 2017 MSSR Porto Romano has been used by SMATSA (Serbian ANSP) to improve radar coverage in their area of interest. Both, Porto Romano and Rinas MSSR are performing very well in terms of availability,
“First flight Milano-Tirana, operated by Avioline Airline. Tirana Airport, March 1st , 1940”
101
reliability and integrity as confirmed by continuous monitoring of the Radar Sensor Performance using approved tools (SASS - C), as required by EC 1207/2011. In order to improve its surveillance system, ALBCONTROL has started a new project for the implementation of MLAT/WAM. During 2017 the installation sites have been selected and the evaluation process has been initiated by our engineers.
MET
Following the gap analyses done with the support of EUROCONTROL, we have begun the implementation of core infrastructure within our MET services. The use of the new Numerical Weather Prediction Charts has significantly improved the quality of MET data. We started the process of satellite data receiving through EUMETSAT.

INDEPENDENTAUDITOR’S REPORT
128
To the Management and Shareholders of ALBCONTROL sh.a.
Qualified Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of ALBCONTROL sh.a. (the Entity), which comprise the statement of financial position as at December 31, 2017, and the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, except the issues described in basis for our qualified opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Entity as at December 31, 2017, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs).
Basis for Qualified Opinion
As it is presented in statement of financial position as at December 31, 2017, Property Plant and Equipment (PPE) are 4,886,346 thousand ALL. The entity has selected the revaluation method, to measure its PPE. IAS 16 “Property Plant and Equipment” requires that if an entity
129
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRS and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
select the revaluation method for PPE, revaluations shall be made with sufficient regularity to ensure that the carrying amount does not differ materially from that which would be determined using fair value at the end of the reporting period. The last revaluation of the Entity’s assets had taken place in 2005, and no revaluation of PPE was done in the following periods to reflect their fair value. Consequently, we are not able to evaluate the fair value of PPE presented in these financial statements.In addition, in Entity’s Capital is presented the revaluation reserve in the amount 123,958 thousand ALL. This amount should have been reduced for the remaining balance of revaluation reserve related to assets sold or disposed of, by transferring this amount in “Retained earnings”. As a consequence, the revaluation reserve is overstated and the retaining earnings are understated with the same amount. We are not able to estimate the effects that such transactions would have on the amount of revaluation reserve and retained earnings presented in the Entity’s equity section.
130
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
The objectives of our audit are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the planning and performance of the audit. We also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control.Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s

ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
