Fraport AG, the prominent airport operator, is finalizing its strategic withdrawal from Russia through a significant deal with Middle Eastern investor Orbit Aviation LLC. The company has signed a purchase agreement to sell its 25% stake in St. Petersburg’s Pulkovo Airport, a move expected to generate positive financial impacts in the mid-double-digit million range. This development marks a turning point for Fraport, particularly after the company had previously written off claims worth 163.3 million euros and suspended its services at the airport in 2022. The transaction, set to conclude in the coming days, represents the culmination of 14 years of Russian operations and will contribute to a substantial reduction in the company’s net debt.
Market Performance and Growth
The airport operator’s stock has shown robust performance, recording a 1.33% increase to 53.25 euros, while its market capitalization stands at 4.9 billion euros. JPMorgan has responded positively to recent developments, raising its price target from 49 to 59 euros. Fraport’s expansion continues with new ventures, including securing the opeRating concession for Greece’s Kalamata airport, further solidifying its position as a key player in the European aviation sector.
