For the fifth year, ACI EUROPE presents its economics report on the key financial and economic characteristics of the European airport industry. The report again provides an overview of the developments in such diverse categories as revenues, costs and profitability of European airport operators. The results of the report point to an industry which has weathered the financial and economic storms of recent years, but one which has also had to adapt and change, not least in relation to operating costs and capital investment plans. The report also sheds light on the significant difference in trading conditions facing EU and non- EU airports, which, while in part a reflection of contemporary trading conditions, was also very much due to more deep-rooted structural economic differences, and as such is likely to remain a reality for some time to come.
