MONTREAL, April 6, 2011 /CNW/ -- MONTREAL, April 6, 2011 /CNW
Telbec/ - SNC-Lavalin (TSX: SNC) is pleased to announce that the
French government has awarded it a Délégation de Service Public
(public service operating concession contract) for the airport in
Mayotte, a French island located in the Indian Ocean, in addition
to the contract to build the airport's new terminal building and
upgrade the airport infrastructure. The operating concession
consists primarily of management and maintenance of the airport in
addition to commercial development based on regular service to and
from mainland France (Paris) and inter-island service in this
region of the Indian Ocean. The recently signed operating
concession contract is for a 15-year period. The new air terminal
building will be built according to the most recent environmental
standards (ISO 14001 certification) and have first-class
landscaping. The entire building, designed to provide optimum
service for passengers, will include a restaurant area and a large
commercial area. The current 1,250-m² air terminal building will be
converted into administrative offices. Delivery of the new airport
is scheduled for the beginning of 2013, and the work is estimated
at about CA$62 million. Jean Claude Pingat, Executive
Vice-President of SNC-Lavalin Group Inc. and President of
SNC-Lavalin in Europe, expressed his enthusiasm for this new
concession: "We can offer our client the benefit of our
comprehensive airport sector expertise in the development of this
port of entry to France's 101st département." Youssef Sabeh,
President of SNC-Lavalin Airports, pointed out that, "The new
airport will provide the local community, users and businesses with
an indispensable economic development tool for this new French
département in the Indian Ocean." Mayotte-Dzaoudzi is the 10th
airport to be integrated into the SNC-Lavalin Airports network
after the airports of Malta, Paris-Vatry, Tarbes-Lourdes-Pyrénées,
Cherbourg, Rouen and Tours and the airfields of Toulouse-Francazal,
Vannes (Brittany) and Chalon-sur-Saône (Burgundy), which provide
