ACI: "The challenge remains that most airports in the world are small, with high traffic volumes concentrated in only a handful of airports. Therefore, the airport industry faces a conundrum; although the airport industry as a whole appears to be profitable on the aggregate level, with returns on invested capital in the realm of 6.3%, the majority of airports are actually in the red on their financial statements," Angela Gittens, Director General.
