en.Wedoany.com Reported - The key economic targets of Leipzig/Halle Airport and Dresden Airport, both under Mitteldeutsche Flughafen AG (MFAG), have been achieved ahead of schedule, but the environment for the air transport industry will not truly ease until at least 2030. Hartmut Fricke, an aviation expert at TU Dresden, noted that achieving restructuring targets early is particularly commendable in the current period, but the cost of flying within Germany has significantly increased, and several airlines have reduced capacity at regional airports.

The Free State of Saxony considers these two airports indispensable. Hiltrud Werner, the outgoing Chairwoman of the MFAG Supervisory Board, stated that operating both airports simultaneously is commercially challenging. Christian Piwarz (CDU), Saxony's Minister of Finance, argued that while it is undoubtedly challenging from a purely commercial perspective, it is entirely different from a macroeconomic standpoint. According to data from the State Ministry of Finance, the two airports together generate nearly 5 billion euros in gross value added.

According to MFAG, the DHL hub at Leipzig/Halle Airport remains a key stabilizing factor, with DHL being the airport's core strategic partner. The airport group aims to broaden its economic base by developing additional potential in passenger and cargo traffic, as well as in services and tenant companies. Whether the restructuring phase can be concluded early will be decided by restructuring advisor KPMG and the financing banks.
