2 <strong>ACI</strong> <strong>World</strong> <strong>Report</strong> – <strong>January</strong> <strong>2012</strong><br />

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 />

Angela Gittens<br />

Director General

<strong>Council</strong> <strong>International</strong><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.


<strong>ACI</strong> <strong>World</strong> <strong>Report</strong> – <strong>January</strong> <strong>2012</strong><br />

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

Continued...<br />

11<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 />
