announcement.
The Flughafen Wien Group ended the First Quarter of 2000 with
excellent results. Operating profit rose by 19.6% to ATS 309 million
(EUR 22.5 mill.), supported by 4.9% higher operating income and 0.1%
lower operating expenses. Profit on ordinary activities rose by 25.3%
to ATS 376 million (EUR 27.3 mill.), and net profit for the period
increased by 27.4% to ATS 253 million (EUR 18.4 mill.). These results
have been achieved in the light of a number of unusual seasonal
factors.
Aviation turnover increased by 4.7% to ATS 737 million (EUR 53.5
mill.) following solid growth in traffic, but non-aviation turnover
remained at ATS 293 million (EUR 21.3 mill.). Income from duty-free
shopping reduced and revenue from infrastructure services decreased
after lower purchase prices for electricity and communications were
passed on to customers.
12% INCREASE IN PASSENGERS DURING APRIL
The late Easter, a key factor which affects passenger air travel,
led to an increase of 12.3% in the number of passengers. Charter
traffic rose by a strong 27.4%, with the Turkish vacation capital,
Antalya, registering an increase of more than 400%. During April
flight movements and maximum take-off weight increased by 9.6% and
8.5%, respectively, and cargo rose by a solid 16.2%.
From January to April, flight movements increased by 7.3%, maximum
take-off weight by 5.6% and the number of passengers by 4.7%. Cargo
rose by an unusually strong 16.9%.
