Vienna Airport (Flughafen Wien): In February 2020, the impact of the coronavirus was still limited:  The total number of passengers handled by the Flughafen Wien Group (Vienna Airport, Malta Airport and Kosice Airport) rose by 9.3% year-on-year to 2.5 mn travellers. Vienna Airport registered an increase in its passenger volume of 8.3% to 2.0 million travellers in the second month of the year. Since the impact of the coronavirus in Europe has grown larger, passenger figures have decreased significantly: The March figures already show a massive decrease of roughly 30% at Vienna Airport compared to the previous year, with a continuing downward tendency.

Wolford: The management board of bodywear group Wolford AG has analyzed the effects of the increasing spread of the corona virus and expects this global epidemic to have a significant negative impact on the development of sales and earnings of the Wolford Group. In Italy, where the virus has hit particularly hard, Wolford's sales have fallen by about 50% in the last two weeks. Sales in the DACH region have fallen by around 30% in the last two weeks. These negative effects are expected to have impact on the new fiscal year 2020/21 (May 1, 2020 - April 30, 2021). Against this backdrop, the management board has corrected its outlook and no longer expects a positive operating result (EBIT) for the 2020/21 financial year. In view of the current uncertainties, the Management Board will await the further course of the epidemic and its economic consequences before presenting a new medium-term outlook, the company says.
Wolford: weekly performance: -29.20%
