Investments in airport operator projects

The investments in airport operator projects in the amount of CHF 282.2 million (31 December 2020: CHF 282.1 million) consist of concession rights which, due to the application of IFRIC 12, comprise minimum concession payments recognised as assets and investments made. They relate to the expansion and operation of the Chilean airports in Antofagasta and Iquique (CHF 60.6 million; 31 December 2020: CHF 56.2 million), the expansion and operation of the Brazilian airport in Florianópolis (CHF 128.7 million; 31 December 2020: CHF 128.9 million) and the expansion and operation of the Brazilian airports in Vitória and Macaé (CHF 92.9 million; 31 December 2020: CHF 92.4 million).

The obligations of CHF 24.9 million (31 December 2020: CHF 23.2 million) relating to the corresponding concessions have been recognised as current or non-current liabilities (see note 10, Financial liabilities).

IMPAIRMENT

Due to the coronavirus crisis and the related indicators that investments in airport operator projects may be impaired, Flughafen Zürich AG performed some impairment tests (see note 16.1, Impairment in accordance with IAS 36).
