Sustained growth for Schiphol
Schiphol, 19 February 2016
Today Schiphol Group is presenting its results for 2015. Major contributing factors were the considerable growth in passenger numbers, the large network of destinations and the financial solidity.
Revenue fell by 1.0% to 1,423 million euros, with the effect of the 6.8% decrease in airport charges as of 1 April 2015 being fully compensated by the increase in traffic and transport volumes. The net result was 374 million euros (2014: 272 million euros). The result for 2015 includes three positive special items. The result includes an amount of 67 million euros from the revaluation of real estate and a result of 50 million euros on the sale of an interest in Schiphol Airport Retail. In addition, the result includes an amount of approximately 55 million euros that will be settled in the airport charges per 1 April 2017 (2014: 35 million euros). In 2015 Schiphol invested 439 million euros in fixed assets (2014: 396 million euros).
Jos Nijhuis, President and CEO of Schiphol Group: 'Its network and the destinations served by the airlines make Schiphol one of Europe's key hubs. Passenger numbers are growing fast and we want to continue accommodating and facilitating that growth. As we are rapidly approaching the limits of our peak capacity, it is absolutely essential for us to invest in strengthening, improving and enhancing our infrastructure, quality and accessibility. Thanks to our solid financial position we are able to respond effectively to international competition while continuing to offer competitive airport charges.'
