MAp: "We achieved a solid financial performance in the most challenging environment for the aviation industry since we listed in April 2002. We also successfully transitioned to become a stand alone entity and, as a result, base management and performance fees have been replaced by less volatile and significantly lower operating expenses. We are enthusiastic about the prospects for a stand alone MAp and will continue to build on the strong foundations that we have already created...The Boards and management of MAp believe the long term growth prospects for the aviation industry and for MAp's airports remain strong. 2010 is expected to be a year of continued recovery in the aviation sector with traffic growth already evident across MAp's core portfolio," Company Statement.
