Q1-3/2022: Significant passenger and earnings increase vs. 2021

  • Q1-3/2022rise in passenger volume to 22.3 million (+163.6%) in the Group, already about three-quarters of the pre-crisis level
  • Considerable improvement of financial performance indicators: revenue up 85.1%, EBITDA increase of 140.1%, net profit for the period before non- controlling interests already in the three-digit million euro range at € 109.3 million
  • Guidance for 2022:

The Flughafen Wien Group expects around 29 million passengers throughout the Group and around 23 million passengers at the Vienna site. This will result in a further improvement in annual profit to € 115 million.

Based on this positive earnings performance, the Management Board is confirming its plan to propose to the Annual General Meeting for the 2022 financial year that a dividend of at least 60% of the net profit after non-controlling interests be paid.

The current guidance is based on the assumption that there will be no pandemic-related

lockdowns or far-reaching travel restrictions in the autumn and winter. Another continuing uncertainty factor is the further development of the war in Ukraine and its effects on aviation, which are currently unforeseeable.
