Swedavia Secures Financing through Nordic Investment Bank
Swedavia and the Nordic Investment Bank (NIB) have signed a SEK 500 million loan agreement.
The seven-year SEK 500 million (approximately EUR 49 million) loan agreement is a Covid-19 response loan aimed at facilitating financing for industries heavily impacted by the coronavirus pandemic.
Swedavia’s chief financial officer, Mats Påhlson, said:The loan helps to further strengthen our liquidity at a time when the Covid-19 pandemic is having a dramatic effect on both air travel and Swedavia’s operations.
During the period January-October, the number of passengers at Swedavia’s airports decreased by about 72 per cent to nearly 9.5 million passengers. For the period January-September, Swedavia reported an operating loss excluding restructuring costs and capital gains of nearly 1.1 billion kronor.
Swedavia is a State-owned group that owns, operates and develops ten airports across Sweden. Our role is to create the access Sweden needs to facilitate travel, business and meetings – in Sweden, in Europe and around the world. Safe, satisfied passengers are the foundation of our business. Swedavia is a world leader in developing airports with the least possible environmental impact. The Group has revenue of over 6.2 billion Swedish kronor and some 3,000 employees.
