Vail Resorts to acquire majority stake in and operate Andermatt-Sedrun Sport Ag, a leading Swiss Resort

Vail Resorts have announced that it has entered into an agreement to purchase a majority stake in Andermatt-Sedrun Sport AG from Andermatt Swiss Alps AG (“ASA”), marking the company’s first strategic investment in, and opportunity to operate, a ski resort in Europe.

Andermatt-Sedrun is a renowned destination ski resort in Central Switzerland, located less than 90 minutes from three of Switzerland’s major metropolitan areas (Zurich, Lucerne and Lugano) and approximately two hours from Milan, Italy.

Vail Resorts is acquiring a 55-percent ownership stake in Andermatt-Sedrun Sport AG, which controls and operates all of the resort’s mountain and ski-related assets, including lifts, most of the restaurants and a ski school operation. ASA will retain a 40-percent ownership stake in Andermatt-Sedrun Sport AG, with a group of existing shareholders comprising the remaining 5-percent ownership.

Andermatt-Sedrun is one of the most ambitious resort development opportunities in Europe. Since originally investing in the resort in 2007, ASA’s majority shareholder, Samih Sawiris, has invested over CHF 1.3 billion into the surrounding base area and over CHF 150 million into the ski resort, creating one of the leading luxury resorts in Switzerland. ASA’s extensive investments in high end lodging in the base area include The Chedi Andermatt, a world class 5-star luxury hotel, the Radisson Blu Reussen, luxury condos, studios and apartments, as well as the development of a concert hall, an 18-hole championship golf course, and three Michelin star restaurants.

Ukraine war is already having significant impact on international trade, warns ParcelHero

The international delivery expert ParcelHero says freight transport services to Ukraine are at a virtual stop, and many services to Russia have been suspended. It warns the costs of the conflict will impact on UK companies, even if they have no business in Eastern Europe.

ParcelHero’s Head of Consumer Research, David Jinks M.I.L.T., says: ‘”Putin’s War” as it is being called in Europe, will certainly harm both Russia and the Ukraine economically, but its impact is also already being felt by UK businesses.

‘The invasion has had an immediate economic impact on Russia, which doubled its interest rate to 20% on Monday after the rouble sank by as much as 30%, before settling back down to 20%. However, UK international businesses, both large and small, are also counting the cost.

‘Most international parcel operators suspended services to the Ukraine from 24 February and major couriers such as UPS, FedEx and TNT have also suspended international services to Russia. Most couriers are now returning items already in transit to the sender where possible.

‘How much could all this cost UK businesses? It’s too early to tell but, during the far smaller Ukraine conflict of 2014, a report by the Vienna Institute of International Economic Studies said Germany lost around £2.51bn (EUR 3 billion), followed by Italy, which lost around £1.17bn (EUR 1.4 billion). France, Great Britain and Poland each lost around £0.67bn (EUR 0.8bn). The current conflict is on a far larger scale and the economic sanctions imposed on Russia are far more severe, so expect these numbers to be the tip of the iceberg. ‘In common with all other UK international courier service providers, ParcelHero has currently suspended booking services to Ukraine.

However, flights have finally resumed between Innsbruck Airport and Frankfurt, one of the world’s busiest air-traffic hubs. The first arrival from Frankfurt landed right on time at 17:45, on May 2, in Innsbruck to much celebration.

Marco Pernetta, Chief Executive Officer of Innsbruck Airport, was on hand together with Paolo Sgaramarella, Chief Commercial Officer of Air Dolomiti, and representatives from politics, business and tourism to welcome the Embraer 195 on its arrival from Frankfurt. The crew and passengers on board the flight operated by Air Dolomiti were treated to a special welcome as they touched down in Innsbruck.

For Marco Pernetta the resumption of direct flights between Innsbruck and Frankfurt is an important step: “We are now finally able to offer our passengers and guests direct flights to and from Frankfurt, one of the world’s most important international airports. It is a particular pleasure that this route is being operated by a renowned airline like Air-Dolomiti, which is a subsidiary of Lufthansa.”
