94 Annual Report 2009
In the year under review, the airport remained commit-
ted to sustainability and received recognition for these
efforts. In July 2009, Hamburg Airport was awarded the
industry environment prize conferred by the Schleswig-
Holstein industry’s Studien- und Fördergesellschaft in
recognition of its ongoing measures to abate noise and
conserve resources.
Sydney Airport
HOCHTIEF AirPort stake: 5.61% / HOCHTIEF AirPort Capital stake: 6.50%
Passenger traffic at Sydney Airport trended positive, par-
ticularly at the end of the year under review. The num-
ber of passengers rose by 0.4 percent to 33 million
over the course of the year.
HOCHTIEF AirPort did not participate in the second
shareholders’ contribution at Sydney Airport in 2009,
and its stake was therefore reduced from 6.77 to 5.61
percent. However, this does not affect our involvement
at the busiest airport in Australia. Our consulting contract
was extended to 2011, and the master plan for the
next 20 years was approved by the Australian government.
HOCHTIEF AirPort supported the airport company
in developing the new master plan, which stipulates
that the airport be adapted gradually to accommodate
the growing number of passengers. To this end, terminals,
aprons as well as freight and other facilities will be
expanded.
Tirana International Airport
HOCHTIEF AirPort stake: 47%
In contrast to the general trend in the industry, Tirana
Airport saw substantial growth in traffic in 2009. The
airport in the Albanian capital served 1.4 million passengers,
for year-on-year growth of 10.1 percent.
At the same time, the airport increased its capacity to
take up to 1.8 million passengers per year. In early September,
the terminal expansion was put into operation.
Covering around 4,000 square meters of additional
space, the new terminal area includes additional checkin
and airline counters, three new gates and attractive
retail units. Baggage handling capacity was also doubled.
HOCHTIEF PPP Solutions*
At the end of fiscal 2009, HOCHTIEF PPP Solutions
was involved in a total of 27 projects worldwide (roads,
tunnels, public-sector facilities and geothermal power
plants) with a total value of well over EUR 6 billion. In
several projects, the company is working closely with
its fellow Group companies HOCHTIEF Construction
and HOCHTIEF Facility Management, thereby leveraging
the advantages of the Group’s one-stop shopping
for integrated services.
At the beginning of fiscal 2009, HOCHTIEF PPP Solutions
took a stake in the newly formed ÖPP Deutschland AG,
an independent consulting firm for public-private partnerships
in Germany. The German federal, state and
municipal governments are the core public-sector owners
of ÖPP Deutschland AG, holding a stake of just over
60 percent. Private industry’s equity interest is held
through a company that holds a stake of around 40
percent of ÖPP Deutschland AG.
Project highlights
Roads
In February 2009, HOCHTIEF PPP Solutions reached
financial close on the San Cristóbal toll tunnel in San-
tiago de Chile. Along with a partner, we will operate the
two-kilometer tunnel until 2037. This is the second contract
for us in the Andes state besides the Vespucio
Norte Express project and underscores our excellent
reputation, which was also confirmed by the Pro Human
Foundation. The Foundation recognized the Vespucio
Norte Express concessions company for its socially
responsible actions.
HOCHTIEF PPP Solutions was named a preferred bidder
for the D1 motorway project in Slovakia mid-year. The
project entails the design, financing, construction and
subsequent operation of a 25-kilometer stretch of motorway
and a six-kilometer access road.
In Austria, we opened the S1 and S2, the initial sections
of the beltway around Vienna, in late October. HOCHTIEF
PPP Solutions led the consortium for the A5 “Y” project
with a share of 44.4 percent. The A5 toll highway was
fully opened to traffic in early 2010.
