Traffic Results 2020 and Business Outlook for 2021
Press Conference, 21 January 2021
2020: Most difficult year in the history of Vienna Airport - Upswing expected in 2021
Coronavirus pandemic comes close to bringing global flight operations to a standstill - passenger volumes down 60% across the globe (IATA estimate)
7.8 million passengers at Vienna Airport in 2020 (-75.3%) - like in the year 1994
The crisis has shown how indispensable air transport is: delivery of relief supplies, repatriation flights, Vienna Airport available 24/7 as part of the critical infrastructure
Outlook for 2021: due to upturn in H2/2021 about 40% of pre-crisis level (12.5 million passengers) and expected consolidated net profit close to zero - short time work extended until March 2021
About 70% of pre-crisis level in 2022, approx. 80% in 2023
Vaccination will provide impetus to growth, but only with unified international and European travel regulations - digitalisation as a major opportunity ("digital vaccine certificate")
