Regulatory News: Today, Pierre Graff, Chairman and CEO of A�roports de Paris (Paris:ADP) and Jean-Cyril Spinetta, Chairman and CEO of Air France-KLM signed a protocol agreement concerning the design and operation of the S4 boarding satellite, the future extension of Paris-Charles de Gaulle terminal 2E. This signature marks the official launch of the project and illustrates A�roports de Paris ambition to cooperate with customer airlines from the preliminary design stage through to delivery of the facilities. The building, with a capacity to handle over 7 million passengers annually and intended for use by SkyTeam alliance members, will enter into service in 2012. Initial construction work has already begun to the East of the hub. The protocol describes the main specifications of satellite 4 (handling capacity, number of aircraft parking stands, level of IATA quality, etc.), and defines the framework for cooperation between A�roports de Paris and Air France regarding project follow-up as well as the drafting of specifications for the future baggage sorting systems at satellites 3 and 4. "I am very pleased with the signing of these protocol agreements which will benefit our two Groups and contribute to strengthening the appeal of the hub at Paris-Charles de Gaulle. This agreement marks a historic phase in the relationship between A�roports de Paris and its main customer Air France. This is the first time that we will be joining forces with an airline to work on the preliminary design of a facility on such a vast scale. Through our joint cooperation, we can accurately pinpoint the customer�s requirements, fix the necessary investment amounts and agree on the building delivery schedule� states Pierre Graff, Chairman and CEO of A�roports de Paris. Jean-Cyril Spinetta, Chairman and CEO of Air France-KLM�adds: �The Air France teams are extremely pleased with their current relationship with A�roports de Paris, allowing them to build together a modern and efficient facility for the Air France-KLM Group�s customers�.
