In today´s letter to shareholders, the Jungfrau Railway Group announced that it achieved a traffic revenue of CHF 102 million in 2009 - the second highest in the company´s history. This was only exceeded in 2008, by just 1.1 per cent. The profit and details on the result will be announced at the financial statement media conference on 15 April 2010. In 2009, the high-Alpine world around the Aletsch Glacier attracted more guests than in the previous year. Some 651,000 people visited the Jungfraujoch-Top of Europe. In view of the economic climate, the 2009 business year proved considerably better than expected. The fear of swine flu, the economic crisis and the strong Swiss franc led to the absence of many Asian guests. Thanks to special offers in Switzerland and Europe, the Jungfrau Railway Group was able to compensate for this drop. As well as the Jungfraujoch-Top of Europe, our other excursion destinations, Kleine Scheidegg, First, Harder Kulm and Winteregg were also well frequented. The First aerial cableway even achieved a record: in 2009 it realized the best summer in its history. The Annual General Meeting of Jungfraubahn Holding AG will be held in Interlaken on 17 May 2010. The executive board will propose to the general meeting the election of Peter Baumann as an additional member of the executive board. Peter Baumann is an engineer of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich. He lives in Grindelwald and thus would again assure representation of this important municipality on the Jungfraubahn Holding AG Executive Board. Peter Bauman has been an executive board member and marketing and sales director at Garaventa AG since 2002. He will be able to bring to our company his experience as an internationally active businessman and his specific professional expertise.
