Quarterly Report
Vienna Airport - Vienna Airport in Q1-3/2019: Passenger Volume (+16.6%), Revenue (+7.8%) and Net profit (+14.4%)* - Weakening of growth as expected
# REVENUE increase to EUR 642.9 million (+7.8%), EBITDA rise to EUR 313.1 million (+10.2%), EBIT improvement to EUR 215.0m (+12.9%) # NET PROFIT FOR THE PERIOD* at EUR 152.1 million (+14.4%) # Air cargo down 4.6% in the period January to October 2019 # Passenger growth slows down: +9.9% in the Flughafen Wien Group and +10.2% at Vienna Airport in October 2019 "Revenue and net profit of the Flughafen Wien Group have improved, but growth is slowing down as expected. The new Office Park 4 will be put into operation in May 2020. The airport is on a growth path, but this is taking place in a responsible manner. Since 2011, CO2 emissions have been reduced by about 70% per traffic unit, and energy consumption has been cut by 40%. Vienna Airport will have seven photovoltaic facilities covering an area of 16,000 m² in operation by the end of 2020, and will operate soon in a CO2 neutral manner in spite of growth in flight traffic and at the flight hub", explains Günther Ofner, Member of the Management Board of Flughafen Wien AG.
"Passenger and cargo development is weakening, but aviation remains a growth sector in the long-term. Within the context of the dynamic competition prevailing at Vienna Airport, the Lufthansa Group with Austrian Airlines and Eurowings as well as Lauda, Wizz Air, Level and many other airlines have increased passenger volumes and flight movements. We expect about 31 million travellers in the entire year 2019. The new winter flight schedule offers numerous new destinations. The economy and tourism sector will profit from numerous new flight connections and frequency", states Julian Jäger, Member of the Management Board of Flughafen Wien AG.
