                   Initiation of Quarterly Traffic Statistics


TBI's four European airports* handled a total of 3.6 million passengers during
the period from 1 April to 30 June 2003, an increase of 19.5% over the
corresponding period last year (2002: 3.0 million).

Low cost traffic led the growth across the portfolio increasing by 37.1% to 2.6
million passengers, while full service fell to 233,600 passengers in line with
expectations and charter reduced marginally by 2.1% to 791,300 passengers. The
charter figures are particularly respectable given the pressures facing this
market during the period under review including the Gulf War and the weakening
pound.

On an airport-by-airport basis all of the Group's core airport locations saw
passenger growth of over 8%. Cardiff and Stockholm saw the greatest growth of
35.6% and 260.5% respectively primarily through bmibaby's establishment of its
second UK base at Cardiff and Ryanair launching its Scandinavian base at
Stockholm-Skavsta.


Nb:     TBI's European airports constitute:
        London Luton, Belfast International, Cardiff International and Stockholm-Skavsta
