PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News:
Passenger traffic
In May 2009, passenger traffic at Aéroports de Paris (Paris:ADP) (Pink Sheets:AEOPF) dropped by 6.3% compared to May 2008. Paris airports handled a total of 7.2 million passengers divided up between 5.0 million for Paris-Charles de Gaulle (-7%) and 2.2 million for Paris-Orly (-4.5%). This month of May was penalized by an unfavourable comparison base effect, as in May 2008 traffic had been very dynamic (+6.7%). Over the first five months of the year, traffic dropped by 6.6%.
- This month of May was marked by a decline in international traffic (excluding Europe) of 5.9%. Traffic on routes to and from Africa was stable. It grew by 0.6%. Traffic on North America routes fell by 8.1% while Latin America dropped by 11.2%. On Middle Eastern and Asian routes, traffic dropped by 5.3% and 11.5% respectively.
- Domestic traffic decreased by 4.9%.
- European traffic fell by 7.2% including -6.6% on Schengen routes and -9.4% for the British and Irish markets.
The number of connecting passengers decreased by 4.8% in May 2009 compared with May 2008. Over the first five months of the year, the number of connecting passengers decreased by 5.0%, with a connecting rate of 24.6% (24.2% over the first five months).
Taking into account the changes noticed since the beginning of the year and the global economic outlook, passenger traffic at Aéroports de Paris is now likely to record a decrease between -4.5 % and -6.5 % (against a previous assumption of a decrease between -2.5 % and -4.5 %). On this basis, Aéroports de Paris maintains its slightly positive growth forecast for 2009 revenue. The 2009 EBITDA should be in the range of 2008 EBITDA (against a slightly positive growth announced previously).
