Markus Kopf, owner of the airport through his People’s Group, has marked the facility’s 100-year history in an interview with aeroTELEGRAPH. The airport has been in the hands of Kopf and People’s Group since 2010, while Kopf has been involved with it for 18 years and has led People’s for 15 years.
The interview centres on the airport’s centenary rather than any operational change, with Kopf describing ownership of the airport as “quite sexy”. The remarks underline the long continuity of control around the airport and its place in the regional aviation landscape.
No new expansion, acquisition, fleet change or regulatory decision emerged from the conversation. The piece functions as a feature tied to the anniversary, highlighting the personal link between Kopf and the airport and the length of his involvement with the business.
