I can sincerely say that our organization’s international employees not only mastered their daily business in an exemplary way but again contributed to making our company increasingly competitive and better fi t for the future. The headlines we made throughout the year confi rm this. The signing in December of the zoning decision on airport expansion was the highlight of the year. Furthermore, this milestone confi rmed our endeavor to grow and fulfi ll our economic responsibility for the region. Conclusion of the basic agreement with Celanese AG/Ticona GmbH in June last year con- tributed signifi cantly to gaining zoning approval for FRA’s expansion. We achieved a new historic record at Frankfurt Airport, with 54.2 million passengers in 2007. Although passenger growth of 2.6 percent is only slightly more than half the rate of other European airports, this is excellent performance considering FRA’s capacity constraints and the even more moderate traffi c increase of 1.1 percent in the previous year. Including minority owned airports and manage- ment contracts, the airports of the Fraport Group achieved a passenger increase of 8.9 percent, percent passenger growth exceeding the level of European and worldwide passenger growth! Despite FRA’s capacity bottle- necks, revenue reached a new record high, with €2.3 billion. Increasingly stringent cost control helped improve EBITDA over the previous year to €580.5 million, irrespective of strongly rising capital expenditures and a new airport charges structure. The increase in capital spending in the year under review resulted primarily from remodeling measures in connection with the modernization of Frankfurt’s terminal facilities under the FRA North project. This project encompasses fi re safety improvements and preparations for the Airbus A380, as well as the creation of additional retail space and expansion of parking garages. These investments will result in a sustainable improvement in the value of Frankfurt Airport. In addition to the new landing runway, I wish to mention here – as buzzwords – only a few developments that are advancing our Frankfurt Airport City concept. These include: the Airrail Center and the Mönchhof and Gateway Gardens commercial parks. In addition to the positive development at Frankfurt, we also experienced – with our new airport investments – an extremely good year for our external business. Responsible for investments outside Frankfurt, our External Activities business segment had a nearly 25 percent jump in revenue to just under €540 million, thus contributing signifi cantly to the Group’s revenue growth. This growth was also clearly refl ected on the EBITDA and EBIT level. The above-average increase was primarily due to percent revenue increase in the positive development of our majority shareholdings in Bulgaria, the Lima hub in South America, external activities as well as our tourist airport in Antalya, Turkey. Secure and enhance market Let me assure you that our remarkable success is not a temporary phenomenon. Last year, we were position able to expand further our competitive position in the international market.
