Aeroports de Paris: "Amid tough economic conditions, Aéroports de Paris has held up well, recording a 4.8% increase in its revenue. In line with our forecasts, third-quarter revenue, which moved up 2.9%, posted a slowdown compared with previous quarters, as the positive effect of new services and opening of facilities has diminished. Thanks to our continued efforts and the savings plan we have implemented, we are reiterating the objectives we announced for the 2009 financial year, i.e. annual revenue is expected to show a slight growth and 2009 EBITDA should be of the same order of magnitude as 2008," Pierre Graff, Chairman and CEO.
