The company improves its results after the collapse of 241 million last year due to travel restrictions derived from the health crisis
The pandemic reduced travel to a minimum, which was noted above all in their accounts by companies dedicated to transportation and tourism. Aena faced a collapse in the first quarter of 2021 of no less than 241.2 million euros, a situation from which it is managing to recover thanks to the improvement in the pandemic. Thus, the company reduced its net losses by 60% in the first three months of this year, to 96.4 million, as confirmed on Wednesday.
Aena’s total consolidated revenues increased by 93.6% in the first quarter, to 683.9 million euros, thanks to the improvement in air traffic, which caused aeronautical revenues to skyrocket to 415.1 million euros. euros, triple that in the first quarter of 2021. By contrast, commercial income fell 7.5% in the first three months of the year, to 160.8 million euros.
In addition, the company managed to recover Ebitda (gross operating profit), with 72.6 million euros, including 14.4 million euros from the consolidation of Luton and 9.1 million from Aena Brasil, thus returning to positive figures after having registered a negative Ebitda of 121.5 million euros in the first quarter of 2021.
And it is that the number of passengers in the first three months of the year multiplied by more than four in Spain (+359.7%), reaching 37.9 million, which is equivalent to 71.8% of the traffic of the first quarter of 2019, before the pandemic broke out in our country. This increase in passenger traffic in the Aena airport network, which is a consequence of the improvement in the health situation and the progressive elimination of restrictions, was generalized in all airports and in all types of traffic, with a increase in national traffic of 197.9% and a rise in international traffic of 595.5%.
