Gdańsk-Trójmiasto airport profits beat the odds in 2002

Port Lotniczy Gdańsk-Trójmiasto (PLGT) airport managed to close 2002 with a net profit of almost zł. 2 million, amid falling numbers of flight connections, stagnation in passenger numbers and a global recession. The company achieved such a financial result mainly due to its cost reduction program. The number of passengers using international and domestic flights serviced by PLGT amounted to 318,000 - 1,000 fewer than in the previous, record-breaking, year. The head of PLGT emphasizes that the company managed to increase the proportion of seats sold from 48% to 64%. The company also recorded significant revenues from services such as cargo, tax-free sales, executive lounge services and letting retail space.
