The External Activities segment will develop into an important growth generator for the results of the Group in the years to come. Substantial improvements of the results are to be expected as a result of the takeover of the second Terminal in Antayla and the completion of the new Terminals in Bulgaria in the year 2010.
Based on this success, the objective continues to be to expand the application of Fraport expertise outside the Frankfurt location. A new competitive situation has occurred as a result of the extensive activities of financial investors and construction companies in regard to takeovers in the airport business. Consequently, a basic strategic challenge of the segment will be the adjustment of the structures for external business to ensure that Fraport can stay competitive in the future, too.
