Vienna Airport (Flughafen Wien): Revenue of the Flughafen Wien Group in Q1/2022 amounted to Euro 110.9 mn, comprising an increase of 92.9% from the previous year. EBITDA was up year-on-year to Euro 46.3 mn and EBIT climbed to Euro 12.4 mn. The net profit for the period before non-controlling interests, supported by income from a property sale, increased to Euro 6.7 mn in Q1/2022. The net debt of the company declined to Euro 145.4 mn (31 December 2021: Euro 150.4 mn). The free cash flow in Q1/2022 amounted to minus Euro 58.8 mn (Q1/2021: minus Euro 28.8 mn). “Growth in revenue and earnings and a milestone for climate protection” “The desire on the part of Austrians to travel is more pronounced than ever before and is also reflected in rising passenger volumes at Vienna Airport and a substantial growth in revenue and earnings in the first quarter of 2022. A continued outperformance of passenger traffic could lead to a substantial improvement of business results for the entire 2022 financial year compared to previous expectations. It is still difficult to predict further developments in Ukraine and the further course of the coronavirus pandemic. The ongoing war is massively disrupting flight traffic, and we are deeply saddened by the tragic effects of the war on the population. In any case, in order to make Austria’s energy policy less dependent on such developments and also to achieve the defined climate targets, it is urgently necessary to quickly facilitate the approvals process for major infrastructure projects. Vienna Airport is setting a milestone today for climate protection in Austria. Today Austria’s largest photovoltaic facility with 24 hectares starts producing electricity” states Günther Ofner, Member of the Management Board of Flughafen Wien AG.
