Shareholders´ Letter

Dear Shareholders,

Flughafen Wien AG was not only able to continue – but also accelerate – its growth course during the first nine months of 2007. Vienna International Airport handled roughly 14 million passengers during this period, for an increase of 9.4% over the first nine months of the previous year. With this development we again outpaced the branch in Europe, which grew by 5.5% according to Airport Council International.The number of passengers travelling to the Middle East rose by a strong 16.9%, and we were also able to strengthen our excellent market position in traffic to Eastern Europe with an increase of 22.1% in passenger volume. The low-cost carriers again recorded above-average growth – with a plus of 47.1% in the number of passengers handled during the reporting period, their share of the total passenger volume at Vienna International Airport now equals 17.4%.

In spite of the moderate tariff reductions that were introduced at the start of 2007 to safeguard our competitive position, the development of traffic was strong throughout the reporting period. The results of this growth are reflected in our key financial indicators: revenue recorded by the Flughafen Wien Group rose by 8.9% to € 377.9 million, EBITDA by 13.0% to € 152.1 million, the EBITDA margin by 1.2 percentage points to 39.1% and EBIT by 15.8% to € 101.6 million. Net profit attributable to shareholders of the parent company increased 13.0% to € 74.5 million.

Our most important project – the Skylink Terminal expansion – is still scheduled to open before the peak travel period in 2009. The Office Park II was completed during the reporting period and transferred to the tenant at the beginning of October – it now serves as the headquarters for the Austrian Airlines Group. The expansion of car park 4 to include an additional 2,250 spaces was started during the summer and is proceeding as planned. In addition, the acquisition of Mazur Parkplatz GmbH during the third quarter of 2007 raised the parking capacity of the Flughafen Wien Group by roughly 5,000 spaces.

The "Visitair Center", a new facility for visitors, was opened in the Office Park I during September. In addition to neighbouring residents, it gives interested visitors – from schoolchildren and student groups to senior citizens, families and clubs as well as airport fans – an opportunity to learn about the airport in a permanent exhibition.

Based on results for the first nine months, we are optimistic concerning the development of business during the remainder of this year. We expect the growth in traffic will exceed our forecasts by a slight margin.

In conclusion, we would like to thank our shareholders and customers for their support. Our special thanks also go out to the employees of the Flughafen Wien Group for their commitment and dedication, which form the basis for our success.

Interim Group Management Report

The development of traffic

The development of air traffic in Europe remained positive throughout the first three quarters of 2007. According to information provided by Airport Council International, the European airports reported an average increase of 5.5% in the number of passengers for this period.

Vienna International Airport handled a total of 14,043,370 passengers during the period from January to September 2007, which represents an increase of 9.4% over the comparable prior year period. The strongest growth in traffic was registered in flights to Eastern Europe at 22.1% and the Middle East at 16.9%. Although signs of saturation have been noted in the low-cost sector and competition has become more intense, these carriers again provided key impulses for growth at Vienna International Airport. The total number of passengers using low-cost carriers increased 47.1% to 2,447,286, which raised their share of the total passenger volume at Vienna International Airport from 13.0% in the first three quarters of 2006 to 17.4% for the reporting period.

Maximum take-off weight (MTOW) totalled 5,451,135 tonnes from January to September 2007, for an increase of 6.6% over the comparable prior year period. The volume of cargo (air cargo and trucking) grew by 1.5% to 198,469 tonnes. Flight movements rose by 5.6% to 189,243 and seat occupancy by 0.8 percentage points to 69.8%.

Revenue for the first three quarters of 2007

Revenue rose by 8.9% to € 377.9 million for the first three quarters of 2007. The growth in traffic led to an increase of 9.3% in external revenue recorded by the Airport Segment to € 172.4 million, despite a 1.38% reduction in the landing tariff at the beginning of this year. Revenue in the Handling Segment grew by 2.7% to € 108.9 million, supported by a rise in handling services (+4.8%) and cargo (+1.5%). These positive factors were contrasted by a 15.0% decline in individual services, which resulted from the mild winter and lower demand for de-icing. The average market share of the Handling Segment decreased 0.7 percentage points to 88.9%. The positive development of revenue in the Non-Aviation Segment continued throughout the first three quarters of 2007 with an increase of 16.2% to € 96.5 million, which was related to higher income from security controls, rentals, shops and gastronomy, and parking.

Earnings for the first three quarters of 2007

Other operating income rose by 34.5% to € 11.6 million. This increase resulted primarily from a partial reversal of € 4.1 million to the reserve for currency translation adjustments, which was carried out in connection with the repayment of capital by the Slovakian subsidiary BTS Holding a.s., Bratislava, and had a positive effect on profit recorded by the Flughafen Wien Group for the reporting period. The capitalised services provided by Vienna Airport Infrastruktur Maintenance GmbH for Flughafen Wien AG declined by € 1.0 million.

The use of consumables and services decreased 3.7% to € 24.9 million for the first three quarters of 2007. This development was related chiefly to a reduction in the use of de-icing materials as a result of the mild winter.

All-round growth: passengers +9.4%, MTOW +6.6%, cargo +1.5%, flight movements +5.6%.

8.9% plus in revenue – growth in all three segments.

Personnel expenses increased 6.4% year-on-year to € 155.3 million. Collective bargaining agreements concluded with Flughafen Wien AG in 2007 require one-time payments totalling € 2.3 million to employees, which have a negative influence on results for the first three quarters of this year but will not create a long-term effect. In addition, the expansion of security services and growth in traffic led to an increase of 6.7% in the workforce to a total of 4,069 employees. This development was accompanied by a decline in expenses for overtime work.

Other operating expenses rose by 16.0% to € 57.2 million. This net increase comprised a decline in maintenance costs as well as higher expenses for rentals and marketing. Depreciation and amortisation for the reporting period totalled € 50.5 million, which represents an increase of 8.0%.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) increased 13.0% to € 152.1 million. The EBITDA margin improved 1.2 percentage points to 39.1%, supported by the 8.9% growth in revenue. Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) rose by 15.8% to € 101.6 million and the EBIT margin increased 1.4 percentage points to 26.1%.

Income from investments accounted for using the equity method rose by € 1.8 million over the comparable period of the previous year to total € 3.5 million for the first three quarters of 2007. The planned expansion of debt financing led to an increase of € 3.5 million in net financing costs to € -5.9 million. Profit before taxes (EBT) improved 14.2% to € 99.6 million, and raised taxes by 8.9% to € 23.1 million. Net profit for the period equalled € 76.4 million, and includes € 1.9 million attributable to minority interests. Profit attributable to the shareholders of the parent company totalled € 74.5 million for the first nine months of 2007, or 13.0% more than in the comparable period of the prior year. Basic earnings per share equalled € 3.55 (first three quarters of 2006: € 3.14) and also represent diluted earnings per share.

Earnings for the third quarter of 2007

Earnings before interest, taxes depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) rose parallel to the increase in revenue, with a plus of 14.1% to € 57.8 million. Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) for the third quarter of 2007 equalled € 40.7 million, which is 18.4% higher than in the comparable prior year period. Financial results declined € 0.5 million to € 1.2 million during this same period. Profit before taxes (EBT) grew 16.3% to € 41.9 million, and led to an increase of 7.0% in tax expense to € 9.3 million. Net profit for the third quarter totalled € 32.6 million. The profit attributable to minority shareholders for the third quarter of 2007 is € 0.4 million, while profit attributable to the shareholders of the parent company rose by 17.7% to € 32.2 million. Basic earnings per share for the second quarter equalled € 1.53 (third quarter of 2006: € 1.30) and also represent diluted earnings per share.

Financial, asset and capital structure

Assets

Non-current assets totalled € 1,322.2 million as of 30 September 2007, which is 8.7% higher than on the balance sheet date in 2006. This growth resulted above all from an increase in tangible and intangible assets. Investments in tangible and intangible assets nearly matched the prior year level at € 119.7 million, and exceeded depreciation and amortisation of € 50.5 million by a substantial amount. Current assets declined 2.5% to € 262.8 million during this same period, primarily due to a decrease in receivables and other assets following the repayment of € 22.6 million in loans by minority shareholders. Trade receivables increased € 9.9 million to € 63.1 million as a result of the growth in revenue.

Increase in personnel expenses remains below the growth in revenue.

Equity and liabilities

Equity declined 0.6% from the balance sheet date on 31 December 2006 to € 743.4 million as of 30 September 2007. Net profit of € 76.4 million for the first three quarters of the reporting year was contrasted by a reduction of € 23.0 million in minority interests and the dividend payment of € 46.2 million for 2006. Minority interests include the stakes of coshareholders in the two Slovakian holding companies BTS Holding a.s., Bratislava, and KSC Holding a.s., Kosˇice. As a result of this development the equity ratio equalled 46.9% as of 30 September 2007 compared with 49.8% as of 31 December 2006.

The 28.7% increase in non-current financial liabilities to € 624.6 million resulted primarily from the conclusion of a long-term loan of € 100.0 million as financing for the capital expenditure programme. Current liabilities declined 16.8% to € 217.0 million, above all due to a decrease in provisions for rebates as well as accruals for goods and services not yet invoiced.

Cash flow statement

Profit before taxes (EBT) rose by 14.2% year-on-year to € 99.6 million. The decline in receivables during the first three quarters of 2007 exceeded the comparable prior year period by € 28.7 million. Depreciation and amortisation were € 1.7 million higher and provisions € 10.9 million lower, which led to an improvement of € 18.1 million or 17.1% in net cash flow from operating activities to € 124.3 million. Investments in current financial assets exceeded the first three quarters of 2006, leading to an increase of € 13.8 million or 7.3% in net cash flow from investing activities to € -202.1 million. Net cash flow from financing activities during the reporting period includes the proceeds from a € 100.0 million long-term loan, the € 46.2 million dividend payment for the 2006 financial year and the above-mentioned payments of € 23.0 million to minority shareholders. Net cash flow from financing activities fell by € 182.0 million or 83.3% to € 36.4 million due to a more moderate increase in borrowings compared with the first three quarters of 2006. Including the change in the revaluation reserve for the disposal of available-for-sale securities and currency translation adjustments, cash and cash equivalents declined by € 104.9 million from the level at 31 December 2006 to € 88.4 million as of 30 September 2007.

Spending

The largest investments carried out during the first nine months of 2007 included the VIE-Skylink Terminal expansion with € 55.9 million, the Office Park II with € 17.4 million, the enlargement of car park 4 with € 7.3 million and the expansion of the railway station at Vienna International Airport with € 5.4 million. The increase in investments accounted for using the equity method was related primarily to the acquisition of a 25.15% stake in Flughafen Friedrichshafen GmbH, Friedrichshafen, for € 7.7 million.

Risks of future development

The major risks and uncertainties associated with the development of business during the last three months of the 2007 financial year are also related to the ability of Vienna International Airport to maintain its position as an east-west hub for air travel – together with the Austrian Airlines Group as Vienna's primary airline customer – as well as the development of new areas of business and the creation of airport capacity to match the development of traffic.

Increased use of debt to finance capital expenditure.

Outlook

The strong development of traffic that was registered during the first nine months of 2007 continued into October with high rates of growth in all traffic segments. In comparison with October 2006, the number of passengers increased 14.1%. Flight movements and maximum take-off weight were 9.5% and 10.6% higher, respectively. As of 29 October 2007 the low-cost carrier easyJet introduced a daily frequency between Vienna and London-Luton.

Opening of VIE-Skylink before the peak travel period in 2009.

From the current point of view, this positive trend is expected to continue during 2008. Flughafen Wien AG will therefore revise its traffic estimates for 2008 and the following years, and announce adjusted forecasts in January 2008.

The strong growth in traffic above the forecasted levels will require the implementation of expansion projects at an earlier date – above all in the terminals and security functions – as well as additional investments above the previously planned volume. The necessary steps will be evaluated and announced in the coming months.

The multi-year capital expenditure programme at Vienna International Airport will continue as planned: the most important project is the Skylink Terminal expansion, which is scheduled to open before the peak traffic period in 2009. The tender for the 52 new shops in the terminal will take place in the coming months. The enlargement of car park 4 to add roughly 2,250 additional spaces is proceeding on schedule.

Construction has started on the Airport Logistic Center in the Cargo North area, and will take the form of a building erected on land owned by Flughafen Wien AG. It will provide smaller rental facilities to logistics companies beginning in 2008. The previous World Trade Center, an office building with 18,000 m2 of space, will be operated as the Office Park III after renovations are completed. The Office Park II was officially opened during a ceremony on 8 October 2007 and now serves as the new headquarters of the Austrian Airlines Group.

Airport Segment: 9.3% plus in revenue despite tariff reduction.

Airport Segment

The growth in traffic (passengers: +9.4%, flight movements: +5.6%, maximum take-off weight: +6.6%) was also reflected in an increase of 9.3% in external revenue recorded by the Airport Segment to € 172.4 million for the first three quarters of 2007 – in spite of tariff reductions. As of 1 January 2007 the landing and parking tariffs were reduced by 1.38% and the infrastructure fuelling tariff by 2.02%. The passenger tariff remained unchanged in comparison with the first three quarters of 2006. This attractive tariff structure is designed to strengthen the competitive position of Vienna International Airport.

The share of the Austrian Airlines Group in total passenger volume declined from 57.3% to 53.8% during the reporting period. The low-cost carriers increased their share of passenger traffic by 4.4 percentage points to 17.4% based on an increase of 47.1% in the number of passengers handled. External operating expenses rose by 8.7% to € 77.6 million, primarily as a result of an increase in marketing activities and depreciation. This increase was less than the growth in revenue, and consequently led to an improvement of 15.5% in segment EBIT to € 71.3 million. EBITDA recorded by the Airport Segment rose by 12.7% to € 99.5 million.

Handling Segment

The Handling Segment recorded an increase of 2.7% in external revenue to € 108.9 million, despite lower income from de-icing services in the comparable prior year period and the continuation of strong competition. External operating expenses rose by 6.3% to € 94.6 million, primarily as a result of higher depreciation and personnel expenses. As indicated above, the workforce was expanded by 3.6% during the reporting period to keep pace with the growth in traffic. The average market share declined 0.7 percentage points to 88.9%. As a result of these factors, segment EBIT fell by 23.9% to € 10.2 million and EBITDA by 13.9% to € 15.8 million.

Above-average revenue growth in the Non-Aviation Segment.

Handling Segment: higher revenue in spite of sharp decline in aircraft de-icing services.

Non-Aviation Segment

The Non-Aviation Segment reported an increase of 16.2% in external revenue to € 96.5 million. This growth was driven by the steady positive development of parking revenue as well as rental income and fees for security controls. Primary revenue recorded by the shops and gastronomy operations rose by 9.2%. External operating expenses rose by € 7.1 million or 7.8%. This increase was related above all to higher personnel expenses following the expansion of business activities by Vienna International Airport Security Services Ges.m.b.H., a wholly owned subsidiary of Flughafen Wien AG, as well as higher depreciation following the completion of various construction projects during the last quarter of 2006. EBIT recorded by the Non-Aviation Segment increased 15.4% to € 32.8 million and segment EBITDA by 13.4% to € 49.3 million.

Selected Notes

Basis of preparation

The condensed interim financial statements of Flughafen Wien AG as of 30 September 2007 were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as adopted by the European Union.

In agreement with IAS 34 (Interim Financial Reporting), the condensed interim financial statements do not include all information and disclosures that are required for annual financial statements, and should be read in connection with the consolidated financial statements of Flughafen Wien AG as of 31 December 2006.

Significant accounting policies

The preparation of these interim financial statements was based on the same accounting and valuation policies as well as the same calculation methods used in preparing the annual financial statements for 2006. Additional information on the accounting and valuation methods is provided in the consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2006, which form the basis for these interim financial statements. The use of automatic data processing equipment may lead to rounding differences in the addition of rounded amounts and percentage rates.

Seasonality of the airport business

Revenues and earnings recorded by Flughafen Wien AG for the first and fourth quarters of the calendar year are lower than the second and third quarters due to the seasonality of the aviation branch. These higher results are a consequence of the increase in the number of passengers during the vacation season in Europe.

Consolidation range

In addition to Flughafen Wien AG, the consolidated interim financial statements include eleven domestic (31 December 2006: eight) and three foreign (31 December 2006: three) subsidiaries in which Flughafen Wien AG directly or indirectly exercises the majority of voting rights. Furthermore, three domestic companies (31 December 2006: three) and five foreign companies (31 December 2006: four) are included using the equity method.

As of 4 April 2007 the Flughafen Wien Group acquired 100% of the shares in Corvin WTC Airport Business Center Vermietungs GmbH (now: VIE WTC Betriebs GmbH, Schwechat), Vienna, for a purchase price of T€ 27,104.4. The purchase price was paid in cash. The acquired company owns and operates the World Trade Center office building at Vienna International Airport in Schwechat. The consolidated earnings of this subsidiary for the first six months following the acquisition totalled T€ 1,079.6. If the acquisition had been carried out as of 1 January 2007, estimated consolidated revenue would have equalled T€ 3,014.9 and estimated consolidated profit would have equalled T€ 4,731.6 for the nine months ending 30 September 2007 (including extraordinary results of T€ 3,610.1).

Parking capacity expanded with the acquisition of Mazur Parkplatz GmbH.

As of 1 August 2007 the Flughafen Wien Group acquired 100% of the shares in Mazur Parkplatz GmbH, Schwechat, through its subsidiary VIE Liegenschaftsbeteiligungsgesellschaft m.b.H. for a purchase price of T€ 4,380.0. The purchase price was paid in cash. This acquisition increased the parking capacity of the Flughafen Wien Group by roughly 5,000 spaces. The consolidated earnings of this subsidiary for the first two months following the acquisition totalled T€ 113.5. If this business combination had been carried out as of 1 January 2007, the estimated contribution to consolidated revenue would have equalled T€ 1,050.0 and the estimated contribution to consolidated profit would have equalled T€ 405.0 for the nine months ending 30 September 2007.

This condensed interim financial report should be read in connection with the consolidated financial statements for 2006.

The acquisition of VIE WTC Betriebs GmbH and Mazur Parkplatz GmbH had the following effect on the asset and financial position on the date of acquisition:

Goodwill recognised during the allocation of the purchase price is related primarily to the expected long-term development potential of the World Trade Center at Vienna International Airport in Schwechat.

A stake of 25.15% was acquired in Flughafen Friedrichshafen GmbH, Friedrichshafen, as of 25 May 2007 in connection with a capital increase. This company operates the airport in Friedrichshafen. The purchase price, including capitalised transaction costs, totalled T€ 7,661.4 and is included under investments consolidated using the equity method. The carrying amount of this investment includes T€ 4,687.2 of goodwill, which primarily represents the two-digit growth recorded by Friedrichshafen Airport.

Other information

Flughafen Wien AG made a dividend payment of T€ 46,200.0 for the 2006 financial year in May 2007.

There have been no material changes in guarantees or other financial obligations since the last balance sheet date.

The circle of related companies and persons has remained largely unchanged since the last annual financial statements. As in the comparable prior year period, no material transactions were conducted with related companies or persons during the first three quarters of 2007.

Events after the end of the interim reporting period that are of material importance for recognition and measurement as of 30 September 2007, such as outstanding legal proceedings or claims for damages as well as other obligations and impending losses which must be recognised or disclosed in accordance with IAS 10, are included in these interim financial statements or are not known.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements and interim group management report were not audited or reviewed by a certified public accountant.

Statement by the Management Board

According to the best of our knowledge and belief, these condensed consolidated interim financial statements as of 30 September 2007, which were prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for interim reporting ("IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting"), as adopted by the EU, provide a true and fair view of the combined asset, financial and earnings position of all companies included in the consolidation. According to the best of our knowledge and belief, the attached interim group management report also provides a true and fair view of the asset, financial and earnings position of the Group as well as information on the development of business and the effects of existing and future risks on the business activities of the Group.
