«Although overflights are the main source of revenue for Lennuliiklusteeninduse AS and their number has increased by almost 1 percent, it's gratifying to observe that we coped fairly well also with handling the nearly 40 percent increase in traffic at the Tallinn airport in the first half of the year,» CFO Marko Otsing said.
The company's cash flows from business operations were positive by 7.3 million euros and return on equity was 31.8 percent. It paid a dividend of 4.1 million euros and 3.9 million euros in taxes into state coffers. Operating expenses increased by 10.5 percent, significantly below the growth in income.
