Auckland Airport: "The long-term outlook for the company remains positive. We expect to see passenger volumes eventually return to long-term growth trends and the investment being made now into air services development and passenger experience will begin to bear fruit in terms of increased growth in volume and yield. Forecasting is difficult when global travel demand conditions are unstable and passenger volume growth remains uncertain. For the 2010 financial year we expect net profit after tax (excluding any fair value changes and other one-off items) to be in the range of NZD93 million to NZD100 million, and capital expenditure to be in the range of NZD60 million to NZD65 million, excluding yet to be committed property development," Tony Frankham, Chairman.
