On Friday, the Supervisory Board met at Frankfurt-Hahn Airport with the liquidity of the company once again on the agenda; the future of the airport has been secured.
Markus Bunk, the airport's managing director, said that the airport Frankfurt-Hahn is still liquid. He confirmed that the responsible auditors had confirmed the positive continuation forecast for the airport, in particular with regard to the bidding process, which had proceeded as planned during the course of the sales process.
In order to compensate for deficits of the company, the airport can avail of the shareholder loan from the state of Rhineland-Palatinate fro December. "The funds have already been entered into the budget for 2016 as early as 2015 and are now being sent to the airport according to plan," explained Markus Bunk. The loan is paid in tranches. For 2016, payments of €1.5 million are foreseen.
"With the shareholder loan, the state of Rhineland-Palatinate ensures that the sale of the airport can be carried out smoothly," emphasised Bunk. "The loan is a loan with market interest rates, which is not state aid," emphasised Bunk. He is optimistic about the future of the airport: "The signals from the company consultancy responsible for the bidding process are positive," he said.
