"Revenue and net profit of the Flughafen Wien Group have improved, but growth is
slowing down as expected. The new Office Park 4 will be put into operation in
May 2020. The airport is on a growth path, but this is taking place in a
responsible manner. Since 2011, CO2 emissions have been reduced by about 70% per
traffic unit, and energy consumption has been cut by 40%. Vienna Airport will
have seven photovoltaic facilities covering an area of 16,000 m² in operation by
the end of 2020, and will operate soon in a CO2 neutral manner in spite of
growth in flight traffic and at the flight hub", explains Günther Ofner, Member
of the Management Board of Flughafen Wien AG.

"Passenger and cargo development is weakening, but aviation remains a growth
sector in the long-term. Within the context of the dynamic competition
prevailing at Vienna Airport, the Lufthansa Group with Austrian Airlines and
Eurowings as well as Lauda, Wizz Air, Level and many other airlines have
increased passenger volumes and flight movements. We expect about 31 million
travellers in the entire year 2019. The new winter flight schedule offers
numerous new destinations. The economy and tourism sector will profit from
numerous new flight connections and frequency", states Julian Jäger, Member of
the Management Board of Flughafen Wien AG.
