AIRPORT - Introducing WIFI within the terminal building of the Princess Juliana International Airport is part of our commercial program geared to meeting and exceeding the passengers' customer service expectation. We have sought for a provider of WIFI services and are pleased to confirm that we have effected a concession agreement with Telcell N.V. to provide WIFI internet connectivity within the terminal building. As of February 1, 2008 the implementation has reached its testing phase.

During the test phase, which is scheduled to last approximately two weeks, the stability of the system will be tested. Passengers and visitors using certain devises such as laptops and smart phones may notice the availability of the WIFI services in the terminal building and connect to the internet free of charge.

Once the test phase is completed and the system has proved to be stable the WIFI internet connectivity services will be provided fee based. Passengers making use of the Soualiga Business Class Lounge will have free WIFI connectivity as this service is included within the cover charge.

PJIAE continues to work on being the regional leader in providing safe, secure and quality airport services and the introduction of WIFI internet connectivity within the terminal building fits within this framework.
