the start of operations in the terminal extension VIE-Skylink, the new Management Board members, Julian Jäger and Günther
Ofner, will start work at Flughafen Wien on 5 September 2011. The contracts with Management Board members Gerhard Schmid and

by the extraordinary general meeting; the amendment and recording in the company register will be carried out without delay.
