All figures are from 2012 Source: INCREASED DOMINANCE OF LOW-COST MODELS Growing market share as we speak Even more pressure on airport charges expected Development of commercial non-aeronautical activities and revenues becomes crucial! AIRLINE CONSOLIDATION 5 major airline groups ( Middle-East carriers and their hubs ) 5 DOMINANT PARTIES IN AIRPORT-AIRLINE RELATIONSHIP 17
Times past Today Mere infrastructure provider Securing needs of a flag carrier Exclusive public ownership Dependent upon public financing Fully fledged business with diversified activities Serving a wide range of customers with different needs Corporatisation is a must Privatisation Self-financing EUROPEAN AIRPORTS AS EMPLOYERS On site: jobs created by aviation industry in EU estimated at 1,9 million Off site: 1000 on site jobs = 2100 national indirect jobs MAGNETS FOR WIDER ECONOMIC ACTIVITY Airport proximity = key to tourism development = top criteria for company location = enabler of economic diversification From Air Traffic Hubs to ECONOMIC HUBS Every 18 days, a new company sets up a business at Munich airport 18
ALL AIRPORTS, big or small In total (direct, indirect and induced impacts), air transport supports 5,1 million jobs and contributes over 500Meur to GDP in Europe In addition, there are over 3,6 million jobs supported through the catalytic impacts of travel and tourism Worldwide, the EU region represents 15% of the total jobs and 34% of the GDP generated by the air transport industry, including the catalytic impacts of travel and tourism.

Airlines, niche or hub? Destinations portfolio Aeronautical and non-aeronautical revenue Accessibility, public transport (metro, train, bus) and traffic jam free high ways User friendly A secure environment (pro s and con s) The right mix of service at the right place (Legacy Carriers, Tour Operators and LCC s) A network with combination of carriers with point-to-point and intercontinental services (LCC s do normally not fit in) In full crisis one has to plan for the future = keep cool! Who will finance this these days? Dominance of Low Cost Carriers. How to transform this challenge into an opportunity: for the first time, LCC s travel represents +50% of total worldwide passenger traffic and this is still growing! According to ACI, by 2030 European air traffic will double, do we have enough capacity? Where? Right = regional airports. The EU commission adopts new guidelines for state aid to airports and airlines. Where will this take us? 20

Wallonia developed a clear strategy for its airports Liége 24/7 (cargo) & Charleroi daytime airport (passengers) In Liège all neighboring houses had its nighttime rooms insulated including the roof. Those complaining were bought out and had to move. The empty houses were rented to TNT personnel In Charleroi a full village was demolished and remaining houses had all daytime rooms insulated, including the roof. Not happy = move Both in Liège and Charleroi the Walloon region invested over 500 Meur(each) in new and improved infra-structure and created commercial companies to promote the airports worldwide. Results? See slide 41. 22
