Dear Colleagues,<br />
Happy New Year!<br />
<strong>2012</strong> brings more opportunities for <strong>ACI</strong> <strong>World</strong> to continue advocating in the best<br />
interests of airports, promoting airport excellence and building our capacity to<br />
better serve its members.<br />
We started the year meeting with our sister associations,<br />
IATA and CANSO, coming up with a list of projects and issues<br />
on which we will collaborate this year. More about this later<br />
as each Director General discusses the proposed projects<br />
with staff to define the tasks and agree on deliverables.<br />
Similarly, this month we meet with the new Director of<br />
the Air Transport Bureau for ICAO to participate in the<br />
development of definitions and an action plan for Sustainable<br />
Air Transport, as well as to discuss the latest developments<br />
arising from the European Union’s Environmental Trading<br />
Scheme (ETS). For us, sustainability includes economic and<br />
operational sustainability as well as environmental so this is<br />
an opportunity for us to gain input at the staff level ahead of the Air Transport<br />
Symposium in April. The Symposium itself is a precursor to the 6th <strong>World</strong>wide<br />
Air Transport Conference in 2013 where ICAO will re-examine the regulatory<br />
framework in light of emerging trends.<br />
At the 6th Aviation & Environment Summit in Geneva, Switzerland, from 21-22<br />
March, we will reaffirm our position and commitment to sustainable economic<br />
growth.<br />
With the upcoming High-Level Ministerial Conference on Aviation Security this<br />
year, we are focused on supporting ICAO’s Technical Advisory Group (TAG)<br />
on the Next Generation Security Process as well as engaging where we are<br />
allowed on the Aviation Security Committee’s working groups.<br />
Towards promoting airport excellence, we have a heavy workload this year<br />
with the release of our first airport performance measurement manual, the<br />
development of runway safety and emergency preparedness guidance<br />
manuals and a global database of airport environmental projects. And our<br />
Global Training has gotten off to a quick start with Global Safety Network (GSN)<br />
coursework in <strong>January</strong>. This year will also see an updated curriculum for the<br />
Airport Executive Leadership Program (AELP) and the Airport Management<br />
Professional Accreditation Programme (AMPAP) to sharpen the strategic<br />
management skills of our airport’s future leaders and promote adherence to<br />
the highest possible professional standards in airport management.<br />
In this first quarter we look forward to three important conferences starting<br />
with the Trinity retail conference in Seoul from 13 to 15 February. The Trinity<br />
conference is unique for bringing together the trinity of airports, retailers and<br />
brands that have combined to produce a sophisticated approach to airport<br />
commercial development that has proven so successful at many airports in<br />
the modern era. Attendees will learn about the new ASQ Food and Beverage
<strong>ACI</strong> <strong>World</strong> <strong>Report</strong> – <strong>January</strong> <strong>2012</strong> 3<br />
and Retail Survey and benchmarking program to aid airports in improving their commercial offer and their<br />
revenue.<br />
Further guidance will be forthcoming at the 4th annual Airport Economics and Finance Conference &<br />
Exhibition, from 7 to 9 March in London, which will be preceded by special workshops on public-private<br />
partnerships and understanding passenger demographics. Jointly hosted with <strong>ACI</strong> Europe, we are proud to<br />
say this has become the go-to forum for aviation financial professionals.<br />
Later in March our 6th Aviation & Environment conference gives us the opportunity to return to Geneva 21<br />
to 22 March. Hosted by the Air Transport Action Group (ATAG) of which <strong>ACI</strong> is a founding member, this will<br />
be the industry’s opportunity to review its progress in achieving sustainability and challenging itself with<br />
stretch targets.<br />
I look forward to seeing you at <strong>ACI</strong> and associated events this year and to working with you as we strive for<br />
excellence and represent our interests.<br />

Airport Economics<br />
Survey 2011<br />
<strong>ACI</strong> <strong>World</strong> Director General Angela Gittens is pleased to announce the release of the Airport Economics Survey 2011.<br />
Gittens stated, “As background on the financial results in 2010, as always, it is important to consider the traffic trends during<br />
the reporting period. Powered by a strong rebound in the global economy, the first half of 2010 was characterized by a major<br />
recovery in the global air cargo sector, more than compensating for the significant declines in the previous year. Passenger<br />
growth rates were robust and stable at an elevated level only temporarily dented by the ash cloud phenomenon in April 2010.<br />
Aircraft movement growth however was moderate pointing to higher aircraft utilization and nimble capacity management<br />
and expansion on the part of the airlines.”<br />
Each year, <strong>ACI</strong> <strong>World</strong> collects key economic information from its members worldwide in order to produce valuable industry<br />
data and analysis concerning the financial performance of airports in Africa, Asia-Pacific, Europe, Latin America, Middle East,<br />
and North America. The <strong>ACI</strong> Airport Economics Survey has become an industry-wide and highly respected source of airport<br />
economic data.<br />
The 16th edition of the <strong>ACI</strong> Airport Economics Survey presents data and analysis relative to airport operations for the financial<br />
year 2010 / 2011, based on <strong>ACI</strong> member input through a survey conducted in the 2nd and 3rd quarter of 2011. The survey<br />
generated responses from 604 airports that together handled 3.12 billion passengers or about 62 percent of worldwide<br />
traffic in 2010, providing unique and comprehensive insights into economics and finances of airports around the world.<br />
Revenues<br />
Extrapolating from the survey results, <strong>ACI</strong> calculated worldwide total airport income in 2010 to have reached USD 101.8<br />
billion, including an estimated USD 4.6 billion for the Middle East region. Hence, compared to 2009 survey results, industry<br />
revenue was roughly 7 per cent up in 2010 which is broadly in line with industry growth.

Announcing the <strong>Airports</strong> <strong>Council</strong> <strong>International</strong> Airport Economics Survey 2011<br />

Aeronautical revenue from passenger and airline user charges accounted for 53.5 percent of industry-wide income, a<br />
similar proportion to 2009. The global airport industry generated USD 54.5 billion in aeronautical revenues in 2010 (including<br />
ground handling). Aeronautical revenue from passenger and airline user charges accounted for 53.5 percent of industrywide<br />
income, a similar proportion to 2009.<br />
Non-aeronautical revenues worldwide made up 46.5 percent of industry revenue in 2010, however this category includes<br />
non-operating income of USD 6.9 billion.<br />
Gittens commented, “Non-aeronautical revenues are a vital component in the economics of airports. During the downturn<br />
the diversification of airport revenues cushioned the impact of lower passenger and freight volumes and safeguarded<br />
operating profits. Non-aeronautical revenues critically determine the financial viability of an airport as they tend to generate<br />
higher profit margins than aeronautical activities, the latter frequently representing a zero sum game or producing a deficit.”<br />
Operating Expenses<br />
<strong>Airports</strong> worldwide in 2010 incurred operating expenses in the amount of USD 56 billion or 55 percent of revenues.<br />
The largest expense item reported was personnel cost, accounting for 36 percent of operating expenses, followed by<br />
contracted services (outsourcing cost to third parties) as the second biggest cost item at 19 percent of total operating cost.<br />
Capital Expenditure<br />
Capital expenditure at airports worldwide in 2010 was almost a third lower than predicted for 2010, with USD 26 billion<br />
were spent on airport upgrades or expansions of existing airport infrastructure. The markedly reduced capital expenditure<br />
is clearly a consequence of the global financial crisis which led many airports to scrap or cut down on capital programmes.<br />
Also, the crisis entailed tighter credit markets, lower commodity costs and more competitive bids that made financing<br />
harder to obtain or made construction cheaper, both putting pressure on expenditure.<br />
For 2011, capital expenditure is expected to rise by 14 per cent to USD 29 billion.<br />
Capital Costs<br />
In 2010, capital costs industry-wide (including depreciation) amounted to USD 32 billion or 31.5 per cent of total revenue,<br />
a slightly higher proportion than in 2009. 36 per cent of that cost is interest bound while the remainder (64%) constitutes<br />
depreciation.<br />
In 2011 airports worldwide reported liabilities of USD 260 billion slightly less than 2010 partially owing to the reduction in<br />
2010 CAPEX.<br />
Outlook<br />
Financial performance of the global airport industry in 2011 is expected to have continued its growth trend. Passenger<br />
traffic growth will remain above 4% for the year with the more profitable international traffic growing by around 6%.<br />
Looking to <strong>2012</strong> while there is a lot of uncertainty in financial markets as to whether governments will be able to contain<br />
the sovereign debt crisis in Europe, the consumer seems to be rather unfazed. Consumer confidence is resilient and<br />
spending is still growing year on year as the current crisis has not been adding to unemployment yet.<br />
Therefore, the prognosis is that another year of growth lies ahead of the industry. Growth rates may be smaller, especially<br />
in the first half of the year, but overall airports should be in a good spot to grow revenues further. As far as the individual<br />
regions are concerned, the significant spreads in growth rates among the regions will homogenize further as economic<br />
growth in China and Brazil cools and the continuing political uncertainty in North Africa will continue to limit its growth<br />
opportunities. That being said, Asia-Pacific will remain the fastest growing region followed by Latin America, whereas North<br />
America and Europe will be rather muted.
12 <strong>ACI</strong> <strong>World</strong> <strong>Report</strong> – <strong>January</strong> <strong>2012</strong><br />
PaxFlash and FreightFlash<br />
Lasting passenger growth at 3% as air freight stays in negative territory for seventh month<br />
Both international and domestic passenger traffic show resilient growth at 3 percent year over year in November 2011.<br />
Notwithstanding, with consumer and business confidence deteriorating in the major economies of Europe, Asia-Pacific and<br />
North America, this has abetted the continued decline in global air freight by almost -2 percent.<br />
Latin America and the Caribbean posted strong passenger growth rate at +8.9 percent. While international passenger traffic<br />
fared quite well at +7.8 percent, domestic traffic reported impressive gains of over +10 percent. Brazil and Mexico continue<br />
to be regional leaders in terms of the sheer volume of traffic and growth. <strong>Airports</strong> such as Rio de Janeiro (GIG), Mexico City<br />
(MEX) and São Paulo (GRU) each saw gains of +22.8, +20.1 and +19.6 percent respectively. While Buenos Aires (AEP) saw<br />
great gains at +923.3 percent, this is attributable to the fact that the airport was closed for renovations in November 2010.<br />
Healthy domestic demand is also observed in Asia-Pacific where growth in domestic traffic is at +6 percent. New Delhi (DEL)<br />
and Beijing (PEK) have observed year over year growth rates of +31 percent and +7.1 percent respectively in domestic traffic.<br />
The Middle East displayed robust growth in international passenger traffic at +8.2 percent. Abu Dhabi (AUH), Riyadh (RUH)<br />
and Dubai (DXB) are among the high growth airports in the region at +16.2 and +16 percent respectively. Europe continues to<br />
see more moderate growth at +2.5 percent as compared to the emerging markets. Istanbul (IST) and Moscow (SVO) continue<br />
to fuel growth in the region with overall passenger growth of over +18 percent. North American airports saw generally limited<br />
growth in passenger traffic at less than +1 percent. While superior growth was observed in international traffic, domestic traffic<br />
is flatter at +0.7 percent. With the remnants of political unrest in North Africa, continental Africa continues to feel the brunt of<br />
decreased tourism and travel. The major Egyptian airports of Sharm El Sheikh (SSH), Cairo (CAI) and Hurghada (HRG) each saw<br />
sharp declines in passenger traffic at -25.9, -24.5 and -14.3 percent respectively.<br />
Air freight is continuing to be sidelined for the seventh consecutive month with an overall year over year decline of -1.6 percent.<br />
However, significant variation is observed across the regions. Many airports in the southern hemisphere are performing well<br />
in terms of freight growth whereas the northern airports of Asia and Europe are seeing year over year declines in air freight.<br />
Despite the volatility in air freight traffic across the African continent, it has posted overall gains of over +27 percent. A significant<br />
contributor to the growth in freight traffic is attributable to the burgeoning economies of Southern Africa. Johannesburg (JNB)<br />
posted robust gains of +46.9 percent. On the other side of the Atlantic, double digit gains are observed at key Brazilian airports,<br />
which face strong domestic demand and on-going expansion of their existing airport facilities. Brasilia (BSB), Rio de Janeiro<br />
(GIG), São Paulo (GRU) and Manaus (MAO) saw gains of +597.5, +40.6, +39.4 and +9.4 percent respectively. The Middle East<br />
saw modest gains with overall growth reaching +2.7 percent. North American airports have seen relatively flat growth in air<br />
freight as compared to November 2010. While the major freight airports such as Anchorage (ANC) and Memphis (MEM) have<br />
bounced back relative to previous months (+25 and +7.3 percent respectively), other major airports have experienced sharp<br />
declines in air freight. Newark (EWR), Los Angeles (LAX), New York (JFK) and Atlanta (ATL) all experienced significant declines<br />
at -15.7, -9.7, -9.1, -4.8 percent respectively. Asia-Pacific saw overall declines of -3.2 percent with major exporting regions of<br />
China, Hong Kong, Korea and Taiwan facing even greater declines as compared to the region as a whole. Taipei (TPE), Incheon<br />
(ICN), Hong Kong (HKG) and Shanghai (PVG) declined by -10.6, -8.2, -6.6 and -4 percent respectively. The situation is particular<br />
grave for Europe, where the looming debt crisis has stifled commerce. Air freight for the region has declined by -3.9 percent.<br />
Among the major airports in the region, declines were observed in Frankfurt (FRA; -11.4 percent), Amsterdam (AMS; -5.9<br />
percent) and London (LHR; -4.1 percent).<br />
<strong>ACI</strong> <strong>World</strong>’s Economics Director Rafael Echevarne commented, “While growth in passenger traffic will be in the vicinity of 5<br />
percent for 2011, indicative of a healthy global passenger market, we may see passenger traffic for <strong>2012</strong> curtailed for certain<br />
economies that are teetering towards a recession. Air freight also seems to have a mixed picture. Despite the overall slowdown<br />
in global air freight in Asia-Pacific and Europe, key trading blocks in Africa, Latin America and the Middle East seem to be less<br />
affected by the continuing economic risks in the Euro area. If the structural problems and the debt crises have been fully<br />
resolved, we are likely to see stronger footing in air freight traffic as business confidence is restored.”<br />
