Schiphol presents interim report
In spite of the negative impact of the volcanic ash cloud that drifted over large parts of Europe in April and May, Amsterdam Airport Schiphol handled 2% more passengers and 22% more cargo in the first half of 2010.
Profit projection
Schiphol Group published its interim report on 30 August and announced that it is increasing its profit projection from 132 million euros to 160 million euros net for 2010, in spite of the negative impact of airspace closures as a result of the volcanic ash cloud.
The projection is based on effective cost control, in line with that of the past six months, and a 1.5% to 2.0% increase in passenger numbers at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol for 2010.
Growing numbers of passengers and cargo volumes
President & CEO Jos Nijhuis commented in a press release, “We are reasonably satisfied with the results achieved. The organisational change programme is going according to plan. Despite the negative effects of the ash cloud, there is net growth in the number of passengers and in cargo volumes.
Our consumer revenue growth has outpaced growth in number of passengers. Spend per passenger is increasing as well. The quality of the rental income from our first class real estate portfolio is stable and the unrealized fair value losses appear to be bottoming out.”
