The lockdowns and travel restrictions imposed had the effect of reducing air traffic, and therefore revenues. This led to a tight equity and liquidity situation. The Federal Council financially stabilised Skyguide with a capital increase of CHF\u00a0150\u00a0million in 2020, and with a loan of CHF\u00a0250\u00a0million with a subordination option in 2021. In return, the Federal Council expected it to make efforts to cut costs. Skyguide communicated a savings target of between CHF 120\u00a0million and CHF\u00a0130\u00a0million by means of various measures, one of which was the &#8220;Virtual Centre&#8221; programme that aimed to make efficiency gains of CHF\u00a021\u00a0million by 2024. The objective of the Virtual Centre was to harmonise and modernise air traffic management from the technology on the ground and the operational procedures, through to airspace design. The Swiss Federal Audit Office (SFAO) audited the cost savings achieved with the Virtual Centre.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","audit_category":[48],"audit_type":[51],"class_list":["post-29353","audit","type-audit","status-publish","hentry","audit_category-transport-and-environment","audit_type-audit"],"acf":{"audit_lang":null,"audit_numbers":[{"audit_number":"23130"}],"audit_office":[1363,1279,1299],"audit_office_text":"","audit_date":"20240424","bgo":false,"keywords":"","audit_office_local":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.1 (Yoast SEO v28.1) -
