Aeroports de Paris: "In the first quarter of 2012, traffic grew by 3.7%, with a particularly dynamic intercontinental traffic, up by 5.7%. Combined with the excellent performance of our retail activities, this increase allows the revenue of the Group to grow by 2.4%, despite a lower activity at some subsidiaries' level. Thanks to the ongoing deployment of our retail strategy, the sales per passenger of shops in restricted areas continues its tremendous growth and now stands at EUR16.3, up by 8.3%. The quarter's results are encouraging and we can confirm our 2012 targets. In an uncertain economic environment, we assume a moderate growth in traffic, revenue and EBITDA," Pierre Graff, chairman and CEO. Source: Company statement, 15-May-2012.
