Workforce <strong>and</strong> work environmentEnvironmental <strong>and</strong> climate protectionFinancial reviewSustainable developmentP Supervisory board’s reportq Consolidated management reportp Consolidated financial statementsp Independent auditor’s reportCredit risk is tied mainly to short-term financial investments.This risk is generally controlled by makingfinancial investments with banking organizations inthe European Union that offer deposit protection.Risks affecting Flughafen München GmbH’s assets,finances <strong>and</strong> earnings may arise in connection withthe current situation in global financial markets <strong>and</strong>its potential impact on the economy as a whole, ongeneral liquidity, <strong>and</strong> on future bank lending.Potential bad debt risk is addressed through strict <strong>and</strong>effective debt management. This includes checkingcustomers’ credit ratings thoroughly, continuouslytracking unpaid invoices, <strong>and</strong> taking a strict approachto payment reminders <strong>and</strong> collections.The FMG Group’s overall risk situationNo risks posing a threat to continuity have beenidentified.Opportunities <strong>and</strong> growth projectsWith the economy expected to stabilize <strong>and</strong> dem<strong>and</strong>for air transport likely to increase, Flughafen MünchenGmbH’s executive management considers the inter -mediate <strong>and</strong> long-term prospects for continuedgrowth in hub traffic to be promising. To be able tocapitalize on the opportunities for growth, MunichAirport urgently needs a third runway. In 2011, thezoning process for the runway ended in a grant ofapproval, allowing the expansion work vital for theairport’s future to go ahead.A municipal referendum is to be held in the statecapital, Munich, on June 17, 2012, on the constructionof the airport’s third runway. The purpose of thereferendum is to determine whether the city of Munich,as a shareholder of Flughafen München GmbH,should approve the planned construction project.In addition, 20 cases brought against the zoningapproval are currently being heard by the BavarianAdministrative court. Flughafen München GmbH haschosen not to immediately exercise the right grantedby the zoning approval <strong>and</strong> begin construction, but toawait the court’s rulings.Irrespective of the forecasts <strong>and</strong> the traffic scenariosprojected for the decades ahead, the airport alreadyneeds a third runway today. Our present capacitywith our two-runway system, which allows us toschedule 90 takeoffs <strong>and</strong> l<strong>and</strong>ings <strong>and</strong> hour, is byno means sufficient to cover airlines’ current needs.Munich Airport is already operating at the limits of itscapacity, <strong>and</strong> carriers would readily use as many as110 slots an hour at peak times – in other words, foreight to ten hours a day – if they were available.Besides additional runway capacity, Munich Airportalso needs more contact st<strong>and</strong>s at terminals <strong>and</strong>more passenger-h<strong>and</strong>ling resources if it is to accommodateits growing hub traffic.To address these needs, we are collaborating withLufthansa to build a satellite on the east apron as anextension to Terminal 2. The satellite will be connectedto the terminal via an underground automatedpeople mover system. The project has been grantedzoning approval, <strong>and</strong> the foundation stone ceremonyset for April 23, 2012. The satellite, which will have52 gates <strong>and</strong> 27 contact st<strong>and</strong>s with direct buildingaccess, is due to open in 2015 <strong>and</strong> will create thecapacity to h<strong>and</strong>le a further 11 million passengers ayear.As with the construction of Terminal 2 previously, thecosts of the new building <strong>and</strong> its technical installations– around €650 million in total – will be shared60:40 by FMG <strong>and</strong> Lufthansa.125
