The Board of Directors announces completion of the transfer of the Company's shareholding in Parma Airport

Jersey/Vienna (OTS) - The Board of Directors of AI Airports
International Limited (AI) is pleased to announce that the transfer
of AI's shareholding in SO.GE.A.P Aeroporto di Parma Società per la
Gestione S.p.A. (Sogeap) to Meinl Bank Aktiengesellschaft (MB) was
completed on 29th June 2011. This represents the final action as part
of the Partial Settlement Agreement between AI and MB, which was
ratified by Certificate Holder resolution on 3rd November 2010. As
disclosed during AI's annual general meeting of shareholders, the
transaction frees EUR 5.0 million which had been pledged by AI to
Sogeap. The completion of this transaction represents the disposal of
the last of AI's airport investments.

The Board of Directors of AI believes it is appropriate at this
time to revise the guidance regarding the range of potential outcomes
provided to Certificate Holders at the annual general meeting on 10th
May 2011. The Board of Directors revises its estimate of further cash
repayments to Certificate Holders, in addition to cash repayments to
date of EUR 5.17, to between EUR 0.18 and EUR 0.72 per share/
certificate, excluding certificates held by AI. This compares to
previous guidance of further cash repayments between EUR 0.00 and EUR
0.77.

The AI Board sets out its range of additional estimated outcome by
