The operation of an airport as a transport infrastructure is highly dependent on its utilisation, precisely because it operates without a fixed seasonal flight schedule. As a company, we endeavour to keep the financial burden on our shareholders as low as possible, constantly improve our business activities and increase our income. In the last financial year 2022, we generated an operating deficit after taxes of -294,107.60 euros.
