As a precautionary measure in connection with the coronavirus crisis, Flughafen Zürich AG established Airport Ground Services AG based in Kloten in financial year 2020. In an emergency, this wholly-owned subsidiary could take over services related to airport operations. The company was inactive at the reporting date.
Zurich Airport International AG, the wholly-owned subsidiary responsible for advising, operating and/or owning airports and airport-related companies throughout the world, holds all the investees existing in this context (with the exception of those in Venezuela).
In 2010, Flughafen Zürich AG and its consortium partner Unique IDC turned to the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) in Washington D.C. in the matter of the airport expropriated in Venezuela (Isla de Margarita). This step is in compliance with the investment protection treaty between Venezuela, Switzerland and Chile. The ICSID reached its decision in November 2014, requiring the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela to reimburse the consortium the costs incurred for the proceedings and project plus a compensation payment of around USD 19.5 million as well as interest incurred up until receipt of payment. Flughafen Zürich AG is entitled to 50% of this. After an application for annulment was rejected, the tribunal’s decision is definitive and final. The value of this holding has been fully impaired.

In the previous year, a valuation allowance of CHF 75.0 million was recognised on loans to the subsidiary Zurich Airport International AG. This allowance related primarily to unfavourable exchange rate movements in Brazil (see note 1, Extraordinary result).
As at the reporting date, loans to Zurich Airport International AG in the amount of CHF 150.0 million were subject to terms of subordination (2020: CHF 150.0 million).
