First Summer Holiday Weekend: Aeroports de Paris Prepares to Receive 900,000 Passengers and Launches the First-Ever Free Dance Lessons in an Airport!

PARIS--(Business Wire)--
Aeroports de Paris (Paris:ADP) (Pink Sheets:AEOPF) expects to
receive 900,000* passengers during the first weekend of summer holiday
travel at Paris-Orly and Paris-Charles de Gaulle (June 27 to 30
inclusive). In all, some 17 million** passengers use the Paris
airports in the summer.

"In the summer, 43%*** of our passengers take their first flight
of the year. This makes the summer season particularly important for
Aeroports de Paris and all our staff will be ready. This summer over a
hundred additional employees will be present on the ground, and on
peak days, 50 "Orange Vests" will help them receive the passengers",
declared Francois Rubichon, Aeroports de Paris Deputy CEO.

In addition to increasing the reception operation, Aeroports de
Paris and the Boutiques Aeroports de Paris concessionaires are
launching the new program of the Ecole des Vacances holiday school
from Friday 26 June.

For summer departures, Aeroports de Paris boutiques invite
passengers to take advantage of their passage through Paris-Charles de
Gaulle and Paris-Orly airports to get a feel for the most popular
dance at their destination. Salsa in Havana, Hip-Hop in New York or
Sirtaki in Athens, each destination gives the opportunity to discover
a new dance.

A real craze, dance courses attract more and more French people.
One out of four people interviewed (27% admits to have taken lessons
and 40% say they are ready to practice dancing in a sports club****).

The passengers who pass through Paris airports in summer time can
learn to dance one of the 15 dances demonstrated by "L'Ecole des
Vacances" trainers. Free, the lessons offered in boarding lounges last
10 to 15 minutes."I teach Salsa, Tcha tcha tcha and disco lessons.
Fifteen minutes are enough to learn the basic steps. Our dance lessons
are fun, and addressed to the whole family. Holidays start at the
airport! "says Audrey, dance trainer at Paris-Charles de Gaulle
airport

The dance floors of L'Ecole des Vacances designed by Aeroports de
Paris boutiques are real dance studios. A large mirror allows the
learners to reproduce the trainer's movements. The dance floor is
surrounded by a thread curtain. A play of light and the essential
disco ball recreate the dance floors ambiance.

In order not to disturb the other travellers, the music and
trainer advice are broadcast through a cordless headsets. Passengers
can hence dance and sing on a ...silent floor!
