MEDIA RELEASE

1 October 2008

QUEENSLAND AIRPORTS LTD RECORDS STRONG

PERFORMANCE FOR AUGUST

The three airports owned and operated by Queensland Airports Ltd at Townsville, Mount Isa and Gold Coast have all again reported continued growth for August 2008.

Passenger movement figures for the month of August 2008, and the growth compared to August 2007 is summarised below:

Airport August 2008 August 2008
Passengers Growth
Gold Coast 369,162 14.29%
Townsville 133,278 5.89%
Mount Isa 17,771 2.14%
QAL Group 520,211 11.57%

Queensland Airports Limited Managing Director, Mr Dennis Chant, said the figures were positive across the board.

“The average growth of more than 11.5 per cent across our airports is more than satisfactory at a time when both domestic and international airline networks are experiencing much lower growth figures.

It is positive record a growth of more than 11 per cent this month compared to August last year across the QAL group.

“It is particularly pleasing to note the increase in passengers in the Gold Coast. While Qantas withdrew its twice-daily service to Sydney on 31 July, the increases in capacity by our other airline partners has ensured growth in passenger numbers for Gold Coast Airport continues.

“It is clear that Gold Coast Airport’s focus on the low cost carrier market has positioned it well to withstand the loss of this service. With announcements on new international services starting this week, we look forward to seeing continued growth for this port.

“Townsville Airport also continues to have robust growth, highlighting the importance of the resourced-driven business market for the destinations.

“As Mount Isa Airport has faced reduced regional airline capacity over the past month, its more modest growth is not surprising,” Mr Chant said.
