Key data excluding the influence of aircraft noise

Flughafen Zürich AG refinances all costs relating to aircraft noise through noise charges based on the “costs-by-cause” principle. These noise charges have a specified purpose, 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 the liquidity of Flughafen Zürich AG.

The figures for the income statement and results including and excluding noise-related factors are as follows:
