Zurich Airport almost reached the pre-crisis level of 2024 in 31,2 with 2019 million passengers, an increase of 8% over the previous year. The positive development is also reflected in the finances: total revenue rose by 7% to 1,326 billion Swiss francs, while operating profit (EBITDA) climbed by 8% to 733 million Swiss francs. Net profit reached a historic high of 327 million Swiss francs. Despite these successes, the economic environment remains challenging, due in part to geopolitical uncertainties and capacity bottlenecks in European air traffic.
In addition to passenger growth, Zurich Airport also saw growth in its international business. Revenue from foreign investments rose by 11% to 131 million Swiss francs. One focus was the construction of the new Noida airport near Delhi, which is scheduled to open in 2025. Zurich Airport AG also took over the international airport in Natal, Brazil, and completed expansion projects in Chile and Brazil.
Commercial and real estate-related income also developed positively. Revenue from retail and parking spaces rose by 5% to 276 million francs, while real estate business reached a new high of 197 million francs. The high occupancy rate of over 90% in the business and service center "The Circle" underlines the attractiveness of the location.
A further increase in passenger volume to around 2025 million is expected for 32. At the same time, Zurich Airport is investing in major projects such as the expansion of passenger areas and the construction of a new Dock A. In addition, planning approval for the redesign of runway 2024 was granted in 28, an important step towards increasing operational safety.
