Aviation

Aviation Business

Heavily impacted by COVID-19

The outbreak of the pandemic depicted unprecedented times in Zurich. Traffic came almost to a standstill in spring; after a slight recovery during summer months, traffic remained muted for the rest of the year.

PASSENGERS

  • -73.5% reduction in passenger volumes to 8.3m

    • Local passengers of 6.3m (-71.7%)

    • Transfer passengers of 2.0m (-78.2%)

    • Transfer share of 24.2%

AIR TRAFFIC MOVEMENTS

  • Decrease in air traffic movements to 111,328 (-59.6%)

    whereof line & charter movements 83,081

CARGO

  • Cargo -35.6% to 291,163 tons

Commercial Business and Real Estate

Commercial Business and Real Estate

Resilient Real Estate Business

COMMERCIAL BUSINESS

The commercial business shows lower rental income as a result of lower passenger numbers and the impact of the lockdown on commuters as well as employees (remote work) at the airport. Negotiations for MAG reductions for 2020 are concluded and were held on a case-by-case basis to find individual agreements.

  • Commercial turnover -60.5% to CHF 237.2m Airside -72.6%

    Landside -43.1%

REAL ESTATE

Fixed contract real estate business performed in line with expectations and showed only minor shortfalls in rent.

  • Real estate revenues increasing due to acquisition of Priora real estate portfolio in December 2019 and initial revenues from The Circle

Commercial Business

Significant Drop after Record Year

  • Commercial turnover (actual spend of customers) heavily impacted by lower frequencies both on air- and landside

  • As a result, commercial revenue (amount tenants pay as rent) significantly lower; however, Minimum Annual Guarantees

    (MAG) provide certain protection but had to be lowered as well in various cases

  • Largest commercial tenants are Dufry, SSP and Autogrill

Real Estate Business

Solid Progress and Expected to Perform Well in the Years to Come

Revenue from Facility Management (in million CHF)

  • Revenue from facility management mainly consists of fixed rental contracts (rental and leasing agreements) and offers good visibility with high EBITDA margins

  • Significant boost in revenues in 2020 as a result of the acquisition of the Priora real estate assets and initial revenue generation from The Circle

  • Rental revenue is generated from office space, hangars or cargo/engine halls; largest tenants are SR Technics, Cargologic,

    Swiss International Air Lines, Gate Gourmet and Swissport

  • With the completion of The Circle, revenues are estimated to rise and further improve the quality of the tenant profile

Mid-Term CAPEX Roadmap Outlook

Zurich and International

Zurich

Brazil

Chile

India

  • Total CAPEX of CHF 200m to 220m p.a. expected in Zurich going forward.

    Most important adjustments:

    • The Circle: No adjustments and full completion in 2021

    • Expansion of landside area: Slow down over next two years, completion earliest at the end of 2026

    • New baggage sorting system: Schedule maintained, optimizations to reduce costs

    • Replacement pier A (incl. refurbishment Terminal 1 etc): Stopped

  • Florianópolis: New terminal was opened on October 1, 2019; limited CAPEX expected going forward

  • Vitória and Macaé: Total CAPEX of roughly CHF 80m expected from 2021 to 2024

  • Antofagasta: No notable infrastructure investments are anticipated through to the end of the concession

  • Iquique: Total expected investments in airport infrastructure of approximately CHF 20m in 2021

  • Delhi Noida: Total investments of approx. CHF 650m for phase 1; timelines, amongst other things, dependent on hand over of airport perimeter by the authority

    Current planning: start of construction in H2 2021; CAPEX peak in 2022 and 2023

Investments have either been reduced or postponed, with major CAPEX in India in the coming years
