Vienna Airport: Vienna Airport continued breaking records in 2018. The threshold of 27 million passengers was surpassed at Vienna Airport in 2018 for the very first time. On balance, the Flughafen Wien Group registered more than 34 million passengers, comprising a year-on-year increase of 11.3%. The outlook for 2019 is once again optimistic, with the Flughafen Wien Group expecting passenger growth of 8-10% as well as increases in revenue, EBITDA and a 10% rise in the net earnings. Passenger volume at the Vienna Airport site is expected to increase by about 10% in 2019. “2018 was once again a records year at Vienna Airport, with more than 27 million passengers. The main growth drivers at Vienna Airport were in particular Austrian Airlines followed by Laudamotion and the easyJet Group. On balance, there was a strong expansion of the low-cost offering, particularly due to the opening of three new bases by Wizz Air, Laudamotion and LEVEL. Moreover, long-haul routes developed very well. We also look ahead very optimistically to the year 2019 and anticipate passenger growth of about 10% at Vienna Airport to approx. 30 million passengers. The further expansion of the low-cost segment and the approved conversion of the Austrian Airlines aircraft fleet at the airport site as well as further growth on long-haul routes of Austrian Airlines, Air Canada and ANA should also provide added impetus”, explains Julian Jäger, Member of the Management Board of Flughafen Wien AG.
