ANNUAL PUBLIC MEETING AÉROPORT DE QUÉBEC CONTINUES ITS GROWTH

Québec City, April 30, 2010 – Despite the challenges posed by the world economic situation, Aéroport de Québec continued to grow and develop in 2009. Although there was a slowdown in domestic traffic, the exceptional growth in transborder and international traffic allowed the organization to attain a historic high of 1,035,000 passengers, added on to a marked increase in available services, flights, and destinations.

“These team successes stem first and foremost from the trust an increasing number of passengers are placing in us, and we’d like to thank them once again for this trust,” said Guy Vachon, Chair of the Board. “The 2009 annual report shows our development efforts once again bearing fruit, enabling us to meet ever higher expectations. Our modern, efficient, cutting-edge facilities also help attract and retain carriers and are undoubtedly a big part of the story. More than ever, Jean Lesage International Airport has become a major gateway and a center of vitality and growth.

Another year of growth

Despite the world economic crisis that hit the airline industry hard, Aéroport de Québec in 2009 experienced an increase of 1.2% in traffic and 14% in revenues across the board.

This overall performance led to an excess of proceeds over expenses of $4,328,171, compared to $9,589,317 in 2008. These results are particularly remarkable in that Aéroport de Québec experienced for example a 19% increase in operating costs, a 26% increase in payroll, and a 76% increase in payments in lieu of taxes.

The growth in traffic was particularly sustained for transborder and international flights, which experienced increases of 14.5% and 20.3% respectively. This remarkable performance was due to such factors as new connections, including daily United Airlines flights to Chicago, six new weekly southbound connections added by Sunwing, Transat, and Canjet, three new Porter Airlines flights to downtown Toronto, and Transat’s new connections to Bordeaux and Marseille. Just recently, United Airlines announced a daily flight to Washington beginning June 10, 2010. Since 2006, international traffic has more than doubled, while transborder traffic continues its recent surge with an increase of 33%—results that mirror constant increases in available services.

“Our success reflects the dedication, professionalism, and thoroughness of our team shown every day in the promise of a very special airport experience,” said President and CEO Gaëtan Gagné. “Over the next few years, we must continue our efforts in order to deal with increasing traffic and satisfy ever-higher expectations. If current trends continue, we should reach 1.5 million passengers in 2015 and close to 2 million in 2020. It all shows the importance for Aéroport de Québec of getting started with the next investment phase, giving our organization the tools it needs to continue to develop and remain an economic engine for the area.” Since November 1, 2000, Aéroport de Québec Inc. has overseen the management, operation, maintenance, and development of Jean Lesage International Airport. More than a dozen airlines operate out of the airport, servicing multiple destinations in North America, the Caribbean, Mexico, and Europe through more than 50 daily direct flights to Eastern Canada and the United States’ biggest gateways, including Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, New York, Detroit, Cleveland, Washington and Chicago. An additional 45 chartered flights also depart the airport each week in winter, carrying passengers to sunshine destinations, as well as Paris, Bordeaux, Marseille, and Nantes.

“We are especially pleased to be offering our passengers an all-new service to Washington, a true gateway to the Eastern United Airlines States. United Airlines’s decision to renew with us today is a testament to our airport’s appeal. What’s more, it will also help us continue to grow, contribute to wealth creation and development in the region, and—once again—meet our goal of putting passengers first,” said Richard Girard, spokesperson for Québec City Jean Lesage International Airport.

Beginning on June 10 and until November 3, 2010, United Airlines will offer a daily direct flight to Washington’s Dulles Airport, connecting Québec City passengers with hundreds of destinations worldwide. The aircraft, a 50-seat Embraer 145, will depart Québec City at 9 a.m., landing in Washington at 10:57 a.m. The return flight will leave Washington at 6:55 p.m. and land in Québec City at 8:46 p.m.

Since November 1, 2000, Aéroport de Québec Inc. has overseen the management, operation, maintenance, and development of Québec City Jean Lesage International Airport. Thirteen airlines operate out of the airport, servicing multiple destinations in North America, the Caribbean, Mexico, and Europe through more than 40 daily direct flights to Eastern Canada and the United States’s biggest gateways, including Montréal, Ottawa, Toronto, New York, Detroit, and Chicago. An additional 40 chartered flights also depart the airport each week, carrying passengers to sunshine destinations as well as Paris, Bordeaux, Marseille, and Nantes.

“We are especially pleased to see our development efforts pay off and to be able to meet passenger needs in concrete terms. The modernization of the terminal has clearly been a worthwhile investment and a key factor in our success,” said president and COO Pascal Bélanger. “Our modern and efficient infrastructure has added to the airport’s appeal and vitality and allows us to attract and keep partners who, like Transat, are consolidating their presence to the benefit of our clients. These two new connections will help us continue to spur the region’s growth and economic development by making it easier for passengers to travel back and forth between France and Québec City.” Mr. Bélanger marked the occasion in the presence of the Transat A.T. president and CEO, the mayor of Québec City, and other socioeconomic stakeholders from the region.

Starting June 23, 2010, and until October 13, 2010, Air Transat will be operating one flight a week between Québec City and Marseille, as well as seven other flights to Bordeaux on June 22, 2010, and from September 7 to October 12, 2010. According to Québec City Tourism, the number of French tourists visiting Québec City was up by 15% in 2008. A large number of them already come from outside the Paris area, but the new connections will no doubt help convince French travelers to come to Québec’s capital in even greater numbers.

Chairman of the board Gaëtan Gagné took the opportunity to reiterate that despite today’s difficult economy, Aéroport de Québec was continuing its expansion, with transborder and international traffic rising by 15.8% and 23.4% respectively over the past few months. “The airport is a first-rate economic engine. We must now go even further to maintain our growth, cope with increased traffic, and meet rising expectations,” said Mr. Gagné, pointing to the expansion of the international area and the construction of a covered parking lot.

Since November 1, 2000, Aéroport de Québec inc. has been responsible for the management, operation, maintenance, and development of Québec City Jean Lesage International Airport. Thirteen carriers offer multiple flights to North America, the Caribbean, Mexico, and Europe, including over 40 direct, nonstop daily flights to major hubs in eastern Canada and the United States, notably Montréal, Ottawa, Toronto, New York, Detroit, and Chicago, and over 40 weekly charter flights (in winter) to holiday destinations in the south, as well as Paris and Nantes.

Porter is offering twice-weekly roundtrips between Toronto City Centre Airport (TCCA) and Myrtle Beach, South Carolina on Thursdays and Sundays beginning February 28, continuing until May 30. One-way fares start at $179, plus taxes. The only non-stop service from Canada to Myrtle Beach saves passengers time by flying right to the beach. Connections are available in Toronto from Ottawa, Montreal, Quebec City and Thunder Bay.

“Myrtle Beach is an excellent leisure destination for our passengers. It appeals to everyone from families to sports enthusiasts,” said Robert Deluce, president and CEO of Porter Airlines. “It is a good match with our successful seasonal program in Mont Tremblant. We now provide top flight golf and ski options to suit all tastes.”

With courses suited to every level of golf enthusiast, the real challenge will be deciding where to play. The Grand Strand is also a wonderful destination for families. With almost 100 kilometres of warm, sandy beaches and sunny weather, an unforgettable vacation awaits in Myrtle Beach. Take the family for a stroll on the beach, build a sandcastle, go fishing, do some dolphin watching, visit the area’s quaint shops, or enjoy some scrumptious Carolina coastal cuisine at one of the many family-friendly restaurants, located just steps from the beach. The destination offers travellers the perfect balance between family fun and relaxation.

“Porter is steadily building its presence in the United States with a simple formula of flying folks where they want to go, when they want to get there, all with the world-class service that makes flying Porter a real pleasure. I’m thrilled Myrtle Beach, South Carolina is now a Porter destination and another vital link in the Canada-Carolina connection,” said Ambassador David Wilkins, Porter Airlines board director, past U.S. Ambassador to Canada and South Carolina Speaker of the House.

“The Canadian travel market is colossal for the Myrtle Beach area,” said Brad Dean, president and chief executive officer of the Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce/Convention & Visitors Bureau. “Porter’s new international service from Toronto will inspire even more Canadian guests to visit the area through these fast and affordable flights. We are absolutely thrilled to welcome Porter into Myrtle Beach.”
