The only thing that really counts is long-term success. 2009 was not an easy year. Vienna International Airport was faced with a decline in traffic as a result of the economic crisis. However, the low point in EVERYTHING this trend has already been passed and the number of passengers began to rise again at the beginning of 2010. The terminal extension VIE-Skylink also presented management with an additional challenge. Actions were taken – well thought-out, but decisive. The renegotiation of contracts for construc- tion on the VIE-Skylink allowed Flughafen Wien AG to cut costs and, after the start of operations, modern terminal areas will be available for high-quality passenger handling.

An important structural change involved the largest customer of Flughafen Wien AG, the Austrian Airlines Group, whose takeover by Lufthansa was finalised during the reporting year. Even though the development of traffic was negative during the reporting year because of the economic crisis, long-term success remains one of our key objectives. Accordingly, the motto of this year’s annual report is “Everything that counts“. The number of passengers handled by Vienna International Airport rose by more than 5% in 2008, but the reporting year brought a decline of 8.3% to 18,114,103. Destinations in the Middle East countered this trend with 5.4% growth. Traffic to Eastern Europe was 14.6% lower, among others due to a stronger decrease in the number of business customers com- pared with vacationers. The low-cost carriers maintained a relatively constant share of the total passenger volume at 23.1%, but handled 9.0% less passengers. Maximum take-off weight fell by 7.1% year-on-year to 7,255,079 tonnes, and flight movements decreased 8.6%. Cargo, including trucking, was only 5.2% lower at 254,006 tonnes due to an increase in Vienna’s market share. Flughafen Wien AG uses tariff adjustments and incentive programmes to promote key strategic intercontinental destinations as well as traffic to Central and Eastern Europe. The annual tariff adjustments (landing, passenger, parking and infrastructure tariffs) are determined on the basis of a long-standing formula that was extended to 2011 during the reporting year: These adjustments are linked to the growth in traffic and the inflation rate. The tariffs at Vienna International Airport were raised by a net total of 0.5% as of 1 January 2010 based on the index 6 Statement by the Management Board formula. This adjustment includes a 13% reduction in the landing tariff as well as a 7.3% increase the passenger tariff. In order to strengthen Vienna’s position as a transfer airport, the transfer incentive was raised by € 2.00 to € 10.21 per departing transfer passenger during the period from 1 July 2009 to 30 June 2010. The Handling Segment was able to defend its market share during the reporting year in spite of the difficult operating environment, reaching a level of 90.1% (2008: 89.9%). Our handling contracts with the key customers Austrian Airlines Group, Lufthansa, NIKI, German- wings and Air Berlin were extended to 2012. We were also able to maintain our extremely high quality standards during the reporting year. With a minimum connecting time of 25 to 30 minutes, Vienna International Airport is the leader in Europe. Our punctuality ratings also improved in 2009, ranking us as one of the best in international comparison and ahead of Munich, Zurich and Frankfurt Airports – which form Lufthansa’s four-hub system together with Vienna. In order to master future growth and maintain Vienna’s high quality standards over the long-term, the expansion of the existing terminal areas is necessary. This objective will be met with the VIE-Skylink project. Numerous factors – such as additional requirements by public authorities, the optimisation of the retail and gastronomy concept, necessary changes in the project and rising prices – led to an increase in the total cost over the original estimate and to a delay in the initial schedule. Furthermore, the complexity of the project as well as the required structural and security equipment led to problems in realising construction as initially planned. In 2008 the company announced a budget of € 657 million, which was approved by the Super- visory Board.
