Airport Financials FY2022 – more ‘back to black’ for most operators but Asia Pacific still lags

In late 2022 a CAPA report pointed to 70% of airport operators reporting much improved financial statements for the first half of the year (1H2022), with many of them being back 'in the black' by multiple measures.

Now there being almost 30 operators, big and small, across four continents having made public their financials for the full year 2022, it is appropriate again to investigate how they fared for the full year - one in which some regions witnessed a fast progression back towards 'normality', while others did not.

Overall, the position seems far more positive than one might have expected at this time in 2022, although the Asia Pacific region still lags well behind, and there are pockets even in Europe where red ink is in evidence.
