Augustin de Romanet, Chairman and CEO of Aéroports de Paris SA-Groupe ADP, stated:
"2018 first 9 months revenue increased by 29.2%, at €3,353 million thanks to the very good traffic dynamics in the whole group. Moreover, the revenue benefitted from the effect of the full consolidation of the results of TAV Airports for 9 months and Airport International Group, concessionary of Queen Alia International Airport in Amman, Jordan, for 6 months. Retail activities' growth in Paris was supported by the dynamism of bars and restaurants and airside shops. Sales per passenger of airside shops was stable, the positive traffic mix being negatively impacted by the strong euro and important works in terminal 2E, halls K and L leading to temporary shops closing during the work. Given these items, all the forecasts of the group for 2018 are confirmed."
