KEY DATA EXCLUDING THE INFLUENCE OF NOISE

Flughafen Zürich AG refinances all costs relating to aircraft noise through noise charges based on the “costs-by-cause” principle. There is a specified purpose for these noise charges, and any surplus, after all noise-related expenses have been paid, must be repaid and does not belong to the owners of Flughafen Zürich AG.

As the consolidated financial statements of Flughafen Zürich AG include noise charges, noise-related expenses and noise-related items in the balance sheet, key figures are also stated for the shareholders excluding the influence of aircraft noise. In the long term, noise-related items will not impact the income statement or cash flow statement of Flughafen Zürich AG.

The figures of the income statement including and excluding the influence of aircraft noise are as follows:
