what is meant by “the best cost/efficiency ratio”?
The expression “best cost/efficiency ratio” would replace the term “overall most economic” in the current text but, to all intents and purposes, means the same. The ACI determines the most direct route, except in cases of force majeure, and the total cost, i.e. the ticket cost + one or two flat-rate travel allowances + the daily allowance should not exceed the cost of a plane ticket for a journey of over 300km. For calculation purposes, start with the gross daily fee of €506,01 and add €95,29 (pension contribution, sickness and accident insurance, repatriation insurance) giving €601,30 per day. One flat-rate travel allowance therefore costs the Institution €300,65.
