Reflects airport’s strong financial profile
Erlanger, Ky. (September 8, 2017) – Fitch Ratings has affirmed CVG’s long-term revenue bonds rating of A+ with a stable outlook, citing “the airport’s strong fiscal position on a go-forward basis under its new hybrid compensatory airline use agreement” as a key rating driver.
Fitch also cited as key rating drivers, CVG’s “transition to a predominantly origination/ destination (O&D)” traffic base with nearly 89 percent of CVG’s 3.4 million enplanements (2016) being local passengers. It also noted the continued diversification of passenger airlines operating at CVG with low-cost carriers now representing 25 percent of seats and the diversification of aviation activity due to growth in cargo service.
Fitch upgraded CVG from an A to A+ in June 2016. The September 2017 report affirmed that CVG is exceeding expectations in areas such as local traffic growth, cargo growth and diversification of revenues.
"We’ve been working hard to diversify our carrier base and revenue streams, and receiving an A+ bond rating yet again is a reflection of that hard work,” said Candace McGraw, chief executive officer, Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport.
PAVIX: Proven Winner for All Airport Concrete Infrastructure
International Chem-Crete Corporation (ICC) manufactures and sells PAVIX, a unique line of crystalline waterproofing products that penetrate into the surface of cured concrete to fill and seal pores and capillary voids, creating a long lasting protective zone within the concrete substrate.
Once concrete is treated, water is prevented from penetrating through this protective zone and causing associated damage, such as freeze-thaw cracking, reinforcing steel corrosion, chloride ion penetration, and ASR related cracking.
This white paper discusses how the PAVIX CCC100 technology works and its applications.
