Basics of the airport business<br />
___Among the key criteria for evaluating an airport business are its major revenue drivers –<br />
the number of passengers using the airport, flight movements, and maximum take-off weight<br />
(MTOW). This information is only useful, however, in combination with the types of aircraft<br />
in operation, particularly for handling, cargo, the number of departing passengers and<br />
MTOW. Aircraft manufacturers determine a maximum allowable take-off weight for each type<br />
of aircraft, and landing fees are based on this figure, regardless of actual load. The number<br />
of passengers also has a direct impact on airport revenues through the so-called “duty” that<br />
airlines charge each departing passenger. The ideal traffic development for Vienna International<br />
Airport is growth in MTOW and passenger volume, coupled with a smaller increase in<br />
flight movements. This will allow the existing runway capacity to be used for a longer period<br />
of time.<br />
