Aeroports de Paris: "In a difficult economic environment, Aéroports de Paris reports a satisfactory first-half 2009 performance with revenues up 5.9%. This performance confirms the strength of our business model despite declining traffic. The main drivers of robust revenue growth were the expansion of our retail services, the opening of new facilities, buoyant momentum in real estate and the rapid development of diversification activities. With the improvement in our second-quarter revenue compared to the first quarter, we are confident in our ability to generate mild revenue growth in 2009, in line with our outlook," Pierre Graff, Chairman and CEO.
