CORPORACIÓN QUIPORT S.A. (QUIPORT) CORPORACIÓN QUIPORT S.A. (QUIPORT) clarifies that we have applied due care and effort to provide updated information in the preparation and compilation of this Annual Report. However, CORPORACIÓN QUIPORT S.A. concedes that minor inaccuracies may have resulted during the described collection process.

In view of the above, CORPORACIÓN QUIPORT S.A. will not be liable to any interested person, public entity or third party for any loss, inconvenience or damage caused as a result of any inaccuracy or error in the information contained in the following pages.

We Build Trust through Our Commitment and Professionalism For Corporación Quiport, 2016 was a year full of challenges concerning the Quito International Mariscal Sucre Airport. The challenge was to find practical and concrete solutions to the difficulties caused by reduction in passenger traffic, resulting from the region’s and the country’s economic situation.

Andrew O‘Brian President and CEO CORPORACIÓN QUIPORT S.A.

The basis of our strategy was the ability to capitalize on the trust we have generated among various stakeholders around the airport project and to generate new growth and new development opportunities for our operation.

Prior to analyzing the operating and commercial aspects of our management, I believe that it is appropriate to mention the important role that Corporación Quiport and the Quito airport played in responding to the emergency caused by the April 16th earthquake, which seriously affected the provinces of Manabí and Esmeraldas on the central-north coast of Ecuador.

During weeks, Mariscal Sucre airport became the main collection and distribution center for all the humanitarian aid destined to the thousands of people affected by the earthquake. This was a process that demanded a much more meticulous level of operational coordination.

Far from limiting ourselves to this coordination, Quiport also sought other ways to help the affected population. Along with our employees and collaborators, we joined the campaigns, promoted by various state bodies, to collect donations.

One of the services that was paralyzed by the earthquake was precisely air connectivity, due to a fallen control tower and the affectation of the passenger terminal structure at the Manta airport –the main city in Manabí– which was seriously damaged. Through our coordinated work with the Civil Aviation Directorate of Ecuador (DGAC by its Spanish initials), Quiport implemented a provisional passenger terminal in Manta to restore connectivity and facilitate the recovery of the areas affected by the natural disaster. At Quiport, we are committed to the country and we always aim to be a part of the solution to its problems.

Annual Report 2016 /

As we begin a review of our main achievements in 2016, it is essential that we highlight an important change in our route-development strategy. When the airport operation began in February 2013, the strategy was geared towards capturing the backlogged market that had not yet been served due to the old airport’s limitations. Because of that, we achieved considerable growth in terms of non-stop destinations and airlines.

Once we completed this route-development stage, we took on a second stage of harnessing new market segments and using off-peak terminal service hours, with a focus on low-cost airlines as a market-stimulating factor.

Perhaps the highlight as to connectivity in 2016 was the successful launch of JetBlue’s operations. It is one of the most innovative airlines based on its management model and passenger service.

JetBlue began to fly the route between Fort Lauderdale and Quito with seven weekly frequencies, providing significant seat capacity to tourists who wish to travel to Ecuador and ensuring a significant offer of connections to Ecuadorian travelers in the United States.

Towards the middle of the year, LATAM established a daily flight to Buenos Aires with a layover in Lima. In December, Wingo, a low cost airline belonging to the Copa Holdings group, began to operate three weekly frequencies between Bogota and Quito.

As to cargo, in 2016 we were able to maintain a stable growth in cargo volumes by implementing a strategy focused on capturing new cargo airlines traveling to the main destinations of flower exports. This task was facilitated by the airport’s excellent infrastructure, which has 45 thousand square meters exclusively to cargo activities.

Passenger experience is a constant concern for those of us who comprise Quiport. Our passengers demonstrate their trust in us and we seek to continuously strengthen this trust by improving the quality and variety of our services.

international arrival services: immigration, baggage claim, and customs. This is compounded by substantial work performed on landscaping and art, with water fountains, gardens, and the installment of a mural painting by renowned Ecuadorian artist Jorge Perugachy.

One of the year’s most important challenges was the arrival of a large number of visitors in Quito due to the United Nations Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development, Habitat III. Over ten thousand people from all around the world arrived in our city for this event. The airport once again presented itself as the best point of entry to the country, developing a special operating plan and protocol that was accurately and efficiently carried out.

Habitat III was also an excellent platform to demonstrate Quiport’s Corporate Social Responsibility work. We participated in the Sustainability Fair organized by the Municipality of Quito as a Habitat III side event. At Quiport’s stand, we presented our Social Responsibility programs and projects and explained how they further the United Nations’ 17 sustainable development goals.

Furthermore, we participated in a series of lectures and conferences, giving a presentation on the carbon footprint of the Quito International Mariscal Sucre Airport. At this event, we discussed our efforts to reduce the airport’s emission of greenhouse gases.

For us, 2006 was a year in which, despite difficulties, we achieved significant progress in all management areas due to the trust built by the company. This trust is strengthened each day because our work is guided by a strong faith in the potential and future of this country.

Throughout the following pages of this 2016 Annual Report, we wish to share with you the results of our passionate work to cooperate in building a country that improves each day. We also wish to communicate our strong belief that better days lie ahead.

In 2016, we focused our work on four key service areas: gaining space through infrastructure upgrades, improving commercial offer with new retail shops of prestigious brands, providing greater services to our passengers, and strengthening the airport’s sense of belonging to the city of Quito and the country.

As a result, the airport now has more space and more efficient processes in each of the

Sound Participation in the Industry First Vice President of Airports Council International for Latin America and the Caribbean The General Assembly of Airports Council International for Latin America and the Caribbean (ACI-LAC) designated new Board members for a two-year term of office. Corporación Quiport, through its President and CEO Andrew O’Brian, was designated First Vice President of this organization representing the airports of the region.

The election took place during the 25th ACI-LAC Annual Assembly and Exhibition in Brasilia, Brazil.

Because that organization represents the interests of more than 260 airports in 37 countries of Latin American and the Caribbean, this designation confirms Quito’s and its airport’s leading position in the region.

Mr. O’Brian adds this designation to his role as councilor for the ACI World Governing Board and his membership of the Board of Directors of the International Association of Airport Executives (IAAE).

34

2016 Annual Report /

Those positions have allowed him to attend several meetings where he has shared Ecuador’s and the region’s outlook regarding several industry-related issues.

The many aspects of the operation of Mariscal Sucre Airport have made our experts highly valued in the region’s airport sector. Since May 2016 and for a two-year period, Allan Padilla, ADC&HAS Operations Manager, has been Chairman of the ACI-LAC Safety Committee, and Jaime Perez, Environment, Safety, Occupational Health and Social Responsibility Manager, presides over the Environmental Committee. The chairmen of regional committees are members of the international committees.

Furthermore, Carlos Criado, Quiport Director of Business Development, is a member of the ACI-LAC Economic Committee, which he has previously chaired.

Airport Safety Conference Along with the American Association of Airport Executives (AAAE) and the International Association of Airport Executives (IAAE), Corporación Quiport organized an important seminar on airport security and airport operations at Swissôtel in Quito, from April 10 to April 14, 2016. The seminar allowed 22 Quiport and ADC&HAS technicians and specialists to be trained in important industry-related subjects.

Cooperation Agreement with Cuba On May 18 Corporación Quiport and Empresa Cubana de Aeropuertos y Servicios Aeroportuarios (”ECASA” by its Spanish initials) signed a memorandum of understanding in order to share information, knowledge, and experience on airport management.

This will aid mutual improvement and development.

The areas of cooperation cover practically all airport management aspects and include issues such as security, operations, maintenance, business development, route development, infrastructure, information systems, customer service, environment, and energy efficiency.

This cooperation agreement is based on the excellent relations existing between the Quito airport and Cuba’s 22 airports operated by ECASA forged during their participation in ACI-LAC.

Cooperation Agreement with CIFAL Quito Corporación Quiport entered into an institutional cooperation agreement with Quito International Training Center for Authorities and Leaders (“CIFAL” by its Spanish initials) in order to promote and strengthen academic-cultural and service projects.

Luis Gallegos, former Ecuadorian Ambassador to the United States, and Craig Lesser, Chairman of CIFAL-Atlanta Board, attended the signing of the agreement as honorary witnesses.

CIFAL seeks to provide a wide range of learning opportunities and to facilitate knowledge exchange among Latin American public officials and leaders.

Similarly, CIFAL aims to improve technical competence and administrative knowledge on local development issues. Therefore, Corporación Quiport identified a positive opportunity in joining a worldrenowned organization such as CIFAL to establish an annual training and education program addressed to technicians of various aeronautical areas in the region.

Quiport’s precise management, which guarantees safe and efficient operations in the Quito airport, has allowed it to become an example within the airport industry.

Sharing Experiences In a world that is increasingly integrated, the need to share knowledge, experiences and challenges is paramount.

Successful management of a public-private alliance and the construction and operation of a Greenfield airport – which is currently a symbol of efficiency and safety– are important components of the leadership formula in air transportation demonstrated by Corporación Quiport.

Those characteristics have caused the industry to positively value Quiport’s contribution in several forums and conferences. Mr. Andrew O’Brian, President and CEO, was invited to participate as panel member and lecturer in important events which are summarized below:

to the community and the environment. It has thus become a regional leader in the airport industry.

The Quito airport reached its third anniversary with great news such as the inauguration of the Wyndham Quito Airport Hotel, JetBlue operations – a low cost U.S. airline – along the Quito-Fort Lauderdale route, and improvements in the passenger terminal building to provide greater comfort and efficiency.

Celebrating Our Passenger No. 20,000,000 Twenty million passengers have visited Mariscal Sucre Airport since it began operating on February 20, 2013.

Maria Fernanda Lucano, passenger No. 20,000,000, arrived on November 23. She lives in Quito and arrived here after a trip through South America.

Upon her arrival she was welcomed amidst a festive atmosphere and had a party organized in her honor.

Corporación Quiport granted her VIP lounges and fast track service memberships.

Maria Fernanda Lucano was surprised when she learned that she was the twenty millionth passenger. “I am pleased to see how the Quito airport continues to grow and improve” she said, thanking Quiport for always thinking about the comfort of its passengers and users.

We Present a New Image to the World New Airport Web Site A revamped web site has been available since May 16 for the Quito International Airport where travelers – besides finding information about operational activities like flight conditions and weekly schedules – can access all the services offered by the country’s main airport. In addition to providing efficient information about flights, the new web site is passenger-oriented. Users will be able to inquire about services such as shops, restaurants, duty free stores, and information on airport procedures.

One of the main website developments is the inclusion of virtual visits inside the Airport, allowing passengers to acquaint themselves with the airport

With this new web site, we aim to modernize aesthetics and functionality, including responsive design parameters, and optimize visual resources for all desktop and mobile devices.

Renewing Our Corporate Image Renewal is essential in maintaining the company’s image. Therefore we created a new corporate logo reflecting the dynamism of airport activities and constant innovation.

A logo is the most important communication tool in the trademark image of any product or any company. In Quiport’s case, the logo includes two main elements: The trade name designed with modern typography especially adapted to highlight certain characters such as the letter “Q”, and the isotype, i.e., the icon, which is the graphic representation of an airplane taking off.

The colors implemented are shades of blue, which transmit the company’s values: excellence, respect, commitment, integrity, and teamwork.

Moreover the new image represents our commitment to constant improvement in connectivity, service, and safety.

The Quito Airport Was the Main Logistic Center after the April 16 Earthquake The 7.8 degree earthquake that hit the center-north coastal region of Ecuador on April 16 2016 and resulted in hundreds of deaths, thousands of wounded, and substantial economic losses (especially in ManabĂ­ and Esmeraldas provinces) triggered the Ecuadorian spirit of solidarity.

The whole country rose to the occasion and sent all kinds of donations. Much of that help was channeled through Mariscal Sucre Airport in more than 150 flights with 454,580 kilos of humanitarian aid to the cities of Manta and Esmeraldas. Furthermore, 21 special flights arrived at the Quito airport from several parts of the world with 1,079,945 kilos of international donations. Special coordination was required to receive and dispatch those flights without hindering regular airport operations.

Additionally, Quiport and ADC&HAS employees participated as volunteers and organized the donations by loading them into the airplanes.

They also contributed with their own donations.

A warehouse was prepared to collect 15,725 kilos of food supplies, water, mattresses, clothes and first-aid implements including donations by the companies that operate inside the airport. Quiport also donated 2,200 gallons of bottled water channeled to the areas hit by the earthquake through the Reina de Quito Foundation.

Quiport, of course, was also concerned about the families of some of our employees that were affected by the earthquake and offered immediate help to improve their situation.

We Contributed to Restore Air Connectivity in Manta We wished to take one step further and we asked ourselves how we could help during those difficult moments. So we undertook the rehabilitation of regular air operations at the Manta airport, which had been suspended because the passenger terminal and control tower were seriously damaged by the earthquake.

After an initial evaluation, and with the approval of the Ecuadorian Civil Aviation Directorate’s (DGAC by its initials in Spanish), Quiport installed an emergency passenger terminal in less than three days.

A team comprising nine Quiport and ADC&HAS airport engineers and technicians traveled to Manta to ready the facilities in just one weekend. We brought power generation and communications systems to the site with the support of the National Telecommunications Corporation. Then the company put up the tents to house the terminal. We installed the same equipment that had been used in the damaged terminal, which was fortunately intact.

Once it was ready, the emergency terminal was delivered to DGAC on Sunday, April 24, so it could operate immediately. Therefore, regular flights to Manta resumed on Monday, April 25.

departures, passenger check-in, security screening, departure lounge and baggage delivery area.

In addition, Quiport sponsored a race called “Quito is running for you”, an event intended to collect funds for the victims, which was organized by a private initiative and supported by the Municipality.

Quiport and Mariscal Sucre Airport demonstrated their commitment to the country after the earthquake that hit the center-north coastal region of Ecuador.

The emergency terminal is located on a platform close to the building damaged by the earthquake. It includes a basic infrastructure for passengers’ arrivals and

Strategic Approach to Air Traffic Decline The economic crisis that hit the region and the country in 2016 caused passenger traffic in Ecuador to experience a general decline, and Mariscal Sucre Airport was not an exception. In 2016 a total of 4,873,760 passengers passed through the airport, representing a 9.4% decrease versus 2015.

Domestic passenger traffic was reduced for the fifth consecutive year and reached 2,738,414 persons– a 9.3% reduction compared to 2015. A sustained contraction in the local air transportation market began in 2012 after a decree from the national government eliminating the aviation fuel subsidy. Added to this were the drop in oil prices and the resulting reduction of the Gross Domestic Product (-1.5% in 2016 according to Central Bank of Ecuador figures), which worsened the reduction. Consequently the number of aircraft movements was also reduced by 8.1%.

Meanwhile, 2016 was the first year international traffic decreased (-9.4%). That year international passengers numbered 2,135,346. The same as in the domestic segment, aircraft movements decreased by 8.4%.

Photo: Sandro Rota 54 2016 Annual Report /

In order to face such decreases in passenger traffic, Corporación Quiport directed its route development strategy –initially oriented to include Quito’s natural markets that could not be exploited due to the old airport’s limitations– towards opening new market segments and taking advantage of non-peak hours in the terminal, with results that may become evident in following years.

Despite these problems 2016 was a year when important progress was achieved in connectivity from the Quito International Airport, particularly because of the beginning of JetBlue operations in the Quito-Fort Lauderdale route with one daily flight, starting in February. Moreover, in 2016 LATAM began non-stop daily flights to Buenos Aires, and Wingo –a low cost airline that belongs to the Copa group– began to fly three times a week to Bogota.

Great Performance in Export Cargo The growth of air cargo traffic at the Quito airport remains stable, allowing it to be regarded as one of the major air cargo terminals in the Latin American and Caribbean region. Two factors are conclusively responsible for air cargo development in Quito: on the one hand, the floriculture sector which has been able to maintain competitiveness despite financial difficulties, and on the other hand, the airport’s appropriate cargo infrastructure offering an area of 45,000 square meters used exclusively for that purpose. This area includes terminals, cold storage rooms, warehouses, and aprons.

The aforementioned conditions are complemented with a strategy to attract cargo airlines serving the major Ecuadorian flower distribution and consumption markets.

Thanks to this strategy, 12 international air cargo companies operated in 2016 carrying 154,634.58 metric tons of cargo to the world. That figure represents a 2.2% growth compared to airborne exports in 2015. The month with the largest increase was April, showing an additional 11.7% with respect to the tonnage exported in 2015.

60

2016 Annual Report /

Operational efficiency at the Quito airport has resulted in aircraft being able to carry greater tonnage. Thus although cargo volume was larger and more cargo aircraft operated in 2016, aircraft movements decreased by 4% with 5,136 movements. Approximately 33% of cargo flights were operated by Boeing 767-300 aircraft; making this the most frequently aircraft used in 2016.

The country’s economic policy, geared towards import reduction to protect the local productive sector and to prevent the outflow of capitals, was reflected on a 6.1% decrease of imports arriving by air at the Mariscal Sucre Airport in 2016, reaching 28,129.13 metric tons.

As a general balance, the handling of incoming and outgoing air cargo –both domestic and international– showed good results, as the airport mobilized 191,601 metric tons of cargo in 2016.

We Continue to Maintain Our High Standards of Operational Efficiency Continuous Monitoring Phase Once the Civil Aviation Authority granted the Aerodrome Certification on February 17, 2014; Corporación Quiport, the Directorate of Inspection and Aeronautical Certification (DICA by its Spanish initials), and the Directorate of Security and Aeronautical Prevention (DSPA by its Spanish initials) implemented the Continuous Monitoring Phase. This phase entails continuous supervision of safety at Mariscal Sucre International Airport, performed through evaluations, orientation sessions, and quality assurance inspections of the facilities, equipment, services, and procedures.

The Continuous Monitoring phase constitutes a fundamental aspect to insure that Quiport maintains the aerodrome safety levels achieved during the certification process, in compliance with the Aerodrome Manual.

For three consecutive years, Quiport has undergone numerous inspections to verify the operating condition of its runways, taxiways, aprons, visual aids, signage, and lighting, among other things. The

70

2016 Annual Report /

aerodrome’s operational procedures, wild life management, maintenance, and training of all technical staff were also verified. Its Airport Emergency Plan and Airport Security Program were reviewed and analyzed as well.

During 2016, the Civil Aviation Authority carried out four inspections of the Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting services. They were all satisfactory. It is worth highlighting that, for the first time, we carried out a vertical rescue drill at the aerodrome’s north ravine. DICA and DSPA inspectors congratulated Quiport for conducting this drill.

The Aerodrome Certificate guarantees its users that the operational procedures are being carried out with safety, security, regularity, and efficiency, in strict compliance with the technical regulations of the country’s Civil Aviation Authority and the standards of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) applicable to an aerodrome with a 4E reference code.

Aerodrome Manual The Aerodrome Manual includes all pertinent information on the aerodrome site, facilities, services, equipment, operating procedures, organization and management, including a safety management system. It is the most important document for the Continuous Monitoring phase.

From the beginning of the Continuous Monitoring phase, we have amended the Aerodrome Manual six times, due to additions of visual aids for navigation, implementation of low visibility procedures, commercial and cargo apron redesign, the Airport Emergency Plan and the Airport Security Program.

In 2016 because of substantial changes in technical civil aviation regulations applicable to the

aerodrome certification, design, and operation, we determined the need to issue a new edition of the Aerodrome Manual. Corporaciรณn Quiport worked along with the Directorate of Inspection and Aeronautical Certification and held periodic meetings with their technical staff specializing in aerodromes to revise its technical specifications and suggest projects that could be incorporated into the Aerodrome Manual.

Alongside this, the airport held 29 technical meetings with staff from operations, maintenance, aircraft rescue and fire fighting services, construction, environmental issues, and the safety management system to verify their compliance with the regulatory framework in force at the airport.

•

In coordination with the aeronautical authority and Empresa Pública Metropolitana de Servicios Aeroportuarios [Municipality Airport Services], we supported a TSA team of inspectors during their scheduled visit to passenger and cargo airlines at Mariscal Sucre International Airport from the 12th to the 18th of June 2016.

•

Corporación Quiport’s head of Airport Security participated in an ICAO workshop on the Civil Aviation Security Program (AVSEC) in Mexico City on October 2016. This workshop is essential to developing and updating the Airport Security Program.

Passengers and staff who access the airport’s restricted and sterile areas are subject to the security staff’s meticulous inspection carried out pursuant to the Airport Security Program procedures, which were approved by the Directorate of Security and Aeronautical Prevention.

In 2016, we carried out activities designed to strengthen AVSEC security work.

Guaranteed Safety Runway Safety Team During 2016, two meetings were held with the complete Runway Safety Team (RST) and we created working groups to perform hazard identification, and risk management procedures, report matrices and methods for the RST team’s operation.

The RST members signed terms of reference and a confidentiality agreement. These are essential tools to implement the RST. Furthermore each committee member representing each of the airline companies was appointed. We also included the signatures of representatives from the Civil Aviation Authority, Military Aviation (Air Force, Army and Navy) and Police Aviation.

Once the creation of the RST was formalized, work began with an analysis of significant changes, such as the maintenance projects at quick exit A3, to be performed from December 2016 until June 2017.

The team performed a risk analysis regarding the presence of migratory birds near the airport. In addition to applying corrective measures, they implemented tools to report the presence of birds or bird impacts.

APEX (Airport Excellence in Safety) In 2014, Quiport signed a commitment to implement APEX (Airport Excellence in Safety), a program developed by ACI World to boost the airport’s ability to strengthen its operating safety management.

From the beginning of the program’s implementation, we have updated the action plan annually, based on initial recommendations and self-inspection results. A technical team appointed by the airport’s director and approved by the aeronautical authority performed these selfinspections. This team, accompanied by a group of internal inspectors, biannually reviews compliance with the Aerodrome Manual, the Safety Management System (SMS), among other activities.

74

2016 Annual Report /

Other additional activities included: •

Stop signs were painted as replacement for yield signs at certain airport points, to avoid confusion among drivers.

•

We improved the friction measurement process, developing a monitoring program for the performance indicator, and improving calibration of the equipment.

•

In order to comply with domestic law and improve the airport’s maintenance methods, we acquired new equipment to optimize time and resources (see Quiport Acquires Equipment to Optimize Maintenance).

•

We are carrying out research on attractive sites for animals within a 13 km radius of the airport.

This study will include a map incorporating extrinsic animal threats (reservoirs, sanitary landfills, vulture roosts) along with their location.

•

We developed an annually updated matrix of at-risk species for air operations, along with the necessary mitigation measures to monitor them.

•

Finally, on July 20th, 2016, we submitted a draft of the second edition of the Aerodrome Manual to the aeronautical authority, for its review and approval. This amendment includes a series of APEX recommendations, primarily related to signage in the movement area.

Progress of Stage 2 of the Safety Management System During 2016, the Civil Aviation General Directorate accepted Stage 1 of the Safety Management System (SMS). Since then, our focus has been on carrying out Stage 2, implementing the following actions: •

Defining safety policies and objectives.

•

Defining responsibilities related to the Safety at the organization’s relevant areas.

in July 2016, certain changes were proposed for the second edition. The aeronautical authority must accept these changes prior to their acceptance of Stage 2 of the SMS. •

•

Creating safety Committees and a Safety Action Group (SAG).

•

Creating an emergency response plan. Mariscal Sucre Airport’s emergency plan was approved form the beginning of its operation. However,

Progressive development of the SMS Manual and other related documents.

These activities have been subject to comments from the aeronautical authority, which will be adopted in order to have Stage 2 accepted in 2017.

Safety Week We held Safety Week on the 7th, 8th, and 9th of December at the B1 and B2 boarding lounges of the passenger terminal. The event was inaugurated by Yves Gautier, CEO & General Director of ADC&HAS. During the inauguration, we showed our recognition to the companies that stood out in 2016 in the area of safety: PetroAmazonas, Mantomain, Andes, LATAM, and Avianca.

During this event, we held conferences and presentations addressing subjects of interest for executives, management staff, and operating personnel, related to safety culture.

Aeronautic phraseology courses were held for ground staff in order to avoid confusion among air traffic controllers,maintenance personnel , ground service personnel and operations personnel as well as all people involved in aircraft towing procedures, to teach them how to communicate adequately with

the control tower in a manner that avoids confusion.

We also held a conference on aeronautic meteorological codes for pilots, flight dispatchers, and the meteorological information staff.

Specialists from DGAC, Avianca, ADC&HAS, and Quiport were present at the various speaking events.

At the event we also showcased new technology acquired by the airport and other issues such as rubber removal equipment, retro reflectivity equipment, surface friction measuring equipment, apron led lighting, ergonomic recommendations, healthy sleep for staff, waste management, the presence of (FOD) Foreign Object Debris, and vertical rescues.

Close to 400 people attended Safety Week.

General Emergency Simulation On Tuesday, September 20, between 00:00 and 3:00 a.m., Mariscal Sucre international Airport held a general emergency drill, in order to verify the effectiveness of the actions of all entities involved with airport emergency response, as well as to comply with the procedures and regulations stablished by the airport’s emergency plan, DGAC, and the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).

According to the emergency plan, the DGAC’s Civil Aviation RDAC153 Technical Regulation, and the ICAO, Airport Operators must execute a general emergency drill every two years and have all the airport entities and mutual aid organizations (ECU911, Quito Firefighting Corps, Red Cross, among others) participate.

the aviation authority issued an official notice to all of the air transport industry on a global level (NOTAM, for its initials in Spanish), informing them of the airport’s closure between 00:00 and 03:00 a.m local time on September 20th.

This exercise allowed us to verify the transfer of control from the on-shift staff to airport management staff. Furthermore, we were able to analyze the airport’s capacity for nocturnal response including all the entities that should respond to an emergency. With this simulation the airport identified several areas for improvement that will be immediately addressed to strengthen emergency management efficiency at the Quito Airport.

Since it was a general drill, all operations were temporarily suspended. In coordination with DGAC,

Rescued Predatory Birds are Rehabilitated at the Quito Airport Last July 22nd, the Quito Airport adopted two predatory birds in vulnerable conditions rescued by the Ministry of the Environment in the province of Sucumbíos. Around this time, we received a king vulture (Sarcoramphus Papa) from the condor family, which had injured wings, and a fishing eagle (Pandion Haliaetus) that had lost most of its feathers. These animals were admitted into the predatory bird rehabilitation center set up at the Mariscal Sucre International Airport’s facilities, as part of its animal control program. This program uses falconry as it main resource.

With proper facilities, a large space, and the highly skilled and specialized scientific-technical staff of the Faunaetus organization, the rehabilitation center – the first center in Ecuador specializing in predatory birds—provides various types of treatment for the recovery of these birds.

When a bird is admitted, the main objective is its rehabilitation and reinsertion into its habitat. Birds arriving for rehabilitation at the airport are treated with various techniques, such as: feather grafts, fattening, and muscle development. In the event that these birds cannot be reinserted into their habitats, they undergo deterrence training and techniques.

Currently, the airport’s animal control program has eleven predatory birds that are prepared to naturally fend off other species. If such other species feel the presence of predators, they will avoid passing through the area under their control, in this case, the airport.

Corporación Quiport implemented the program in 2013. Few airports in the region have falconry programs for animal control.

Quiport Acquires Equipment to Optimize Maintenance During 2016, Quiport added four new pieces of equipment to the airport’s operation designed to improve maintenance of the traffic area. This equipment includes a rubber-removing machine, designed to improve the cleaning of rubber accumulated on the runway and thereby improve the friction indicator; a retro reflectometer to ensure that horizontal signage has the adequate reflectiveness mandated by law, and; a paint striping machine, which is equipment designed to paint on pavement at the traffic area. It is easily

configured and provides a high paint yield.

Furthermore, Quiport purchased photometric measurement equipment to obtain exact measurements of the alignment of runway and taxiway lights, as well as their brightness.

This new equipment will improve airport maintenance efficiency and operating security standards, as it considerably reduces work times and allows us to maintain our infrastructure in optimal conditions.

Ongoing Training is Vital to Our Operation The airport industry is one of the most technical and dynamic in the world and it is subject to continuously updated laws, concepts, technologies, and procedures that allow higher operating and service standards. This dynamism forces airport operators to develop ongoing training programs for their employees and collaborators, in order to keep them updated at all times.

The Quito Airport is the Official Gateway into Ecuador Due to its status as the main gateway into Ecuador, the airport receives the visit of foreign authorities and important personalities on a global scale. In order to manage these visits adequately without affecting operations, we developed a series of special operations.

All of these experiences have allowed us to continue positioning Mariscal Sucre Airport as one of the main airports on a regional scale with a reputation for excellence.

Mariscal Sucre Airport was Vital to the Success of Habitat III The Quito International Airport played an important role in the success of the United Nations Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development, Habitat III. The agility with which the airport assisted passengers, along with the cordiality and efficiency of all persons, companies and institutions providing services at the airport, were key factors to allow us to project an excellent image of the country to the thousands of visitors who arrived in Quito.

The multiple positive comments received by the authorities, special visitors, and conference participants support this. These comments highlighted the comfort of the airport facilities and excellence of its services.

To face the challenge posed by Habitat III, Corporación Quiport performed a series of improvements and special operations to put Mariscal Sucre International Airport ready, and, in this way, contribute to the best image of the city at this transcendental event for Quito.

82

2016 Annual Report /

In collaboration with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the General Civil Aviation Directorate, and Empresa Pública Metropolitana de Servicios Aeroportuarios [Metropolitan Airport Services Public Company], we carried out an orderly operation in order to tend to Habitat III participants, without affecting the airport’s regular passengers.

Eleven heads of state from various parts of the world arrived for Habitat III in addition to the highest authorities of the United Nations system bodies, headed

by General Secretary Ban Ki-moon. Due to the working team’s professionalism and experience, the visitors did not experience any inconveniences at the airport.

Opinions of Senior Officials who Traveled to the Habitat III Conference This airport, which is in continuous improvement, has been put to the test on the occasion of this meeting and has responded as expected.

Fabian Valdivieso, ambassador in charge of Diplomatic Protocol, Ecuadorian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

I am pleased that Habitat III took place in Quito. I believe that everything was well organized. From our arrival at the airport, everything was very well decorated to welcome us.

Eglantina Gjermeni, Minister of Urban Development, Albania.

I believe [the airport] is very comfortable [and] modern. This is a good infrastructure for a city such as Quito.

José Blandón Figueroa, mayor of the District of Panama, Panama.

The airport itself is a great public space with many facilities and services. I am pleased that they provide space for its own paintings, its own art.

Alicia Bárcena, Executive Secretary of CEPAL, Chile.

The airport meets all the conditions for modernity, capacity, and hospitality, which is what one expects from the capital of a country as important as Ecuador.

Paulina Saball, Minister of Housing, Chile.

Continuous Renewal is Our Management’s Signature The spirit of renewal is a constant factor at Corporación Quiport. This spirit pushes us each day to search for new opportunities to improve the quality of services at the Mariscal Sucre International Airport in order to provide the best experience to our clients (airlines, government agencies, etc.), passengers, and users, in general.

In 2016, the focus of Quiport’s planning was on four key factors designed to further enhance service

86

2016 Annual Report /

quality standards: improving physical space through adjustments to infrastructure; enhancing commercial offer through our retail stores; providing greater facilities to the passenger, and; strengthening the airport’s sense of belonging to the city of Quito and the country.

We Grow in Response to Our Users’ Needs The Quito Airport Replaces Conventional Lights with LED Technology In a project designed to improve energy efficiency and reduce its carbon footprint, in mid-2016, Corporación Quiport began to replace its traditional lighting at the passenger terminal building with LED lighting. The goal was to reduce the airport´s power consumption by approximately 23% and significantly contribute to reducing its carbon footprint.

The work consists of replacing over 3,400 lights.

This will positively impact the airport’s general efficiency, its safety, and the comfort of our users. It will obviously also benefit the environment as these lights have longer lives, are smaller in size, emit less heat, and are more reliable.

Arrival in Quito Becomes More Efficient and Pleasant In order to provide larger and more comfortable spaces at the passenger terminal and provide new areas necessary to ensure correct operation of all the airport’s optimal facilities, Quiport made a series of upgrades to the passenger terminal building.

Pursuant to the inauguration of the new domestic terminal, part of the older first-floor boarding areas became part of the international arrivals immigration hall. This allowed us to increase the area for immigration waiting lines by 27%. The area was also decorated with orchids, some of the country’s most representative flower species, in order to provide a greater sense of belonging and a warm welcome to travelers who arrive in Quito.

A comprehensive space redesign, which contemplates restructuring the immigration counter area and relocation of the Duty Free retail store, increased the baggage claim area by 12%.

Customs The Customs area also benefitted from the additional space, which was increased by 17% and currently occupies 748 square meters. This allowed us to optimize space to distribute waiting lines and X-ray machines. In this way, passengers are provided with greater comfort and space, while reducing processing times, and improving efficiency for customs control.

Fifth Baggage Carrousel Furthermore, Quiport installed a fifth baggage carrousel improving efficiency in baggage delivery and Customs. This fifth carrousel allows greater flexibility for the infrastructure at the baggage claim areas. By using swing gates, we can assign a greater number of carrousels either for domestic or international arrivals, depending on passenger flow.

After these upgrades, passengers moving through Quito’s Mariscal Sucre Airport can make their purchases at the Attenza Duty Free Store upon arrival. The retail store now incorporates a more modern walk-through design. The upgraded retail store occupies a 250 square meter area and was relocated to a space immediately adjacent to the immigration control counters.

New Immigration Control System Since September 17, a new immigration Control System (Simiec) was installed at all control points in the country, and therefore, at the Quito International Airport. This system benefits users with a more streamlined service, without neglecting the control filters that are necessary to fulfill immigration policies. Quiport worked in coordination with the Ministry of the Interior to provide all the necessary technological support for the swift and correct implementation of the airport system.

This platform performs an easy exchange of information updated in real time, given its connection to the databases of the Civil Registry, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Human Mobility, the National Direction of Crimes against Life, Violent Deaths, Disappearances, Extortion, and Kidnapping (DINASED by its Spanish initials) and the Judicial Police. In this way, the information provided by

nationals and foreign citizens is rapidly verified.

Furthermore, the system automatically calculates the days of permanence for non-resident foreign citizens and, thus, substantially automatizes and simplifies processes like travel annulments and extensions.

The national I.D. or passport –essential travel documents– are analyzed with a digital scanner located at each counter at the country’s points of entry and departure. This device verifies user information. In this manner, persons no longer have to complete the Andean Migration Card manually. As a result, the waiting time to complete the migratory registration has been improved considerably.

Greater Comfort and a Better Experience As part of our planning, and to improve the airport’s service standards and offer a better travel experience, we performed a series of projects in the passenger terminal building, as listed below : •

88

New boarding lounge on the second floor, with space for 150 passengers and decorated to include plants and special furniture to give the area a more welcoming environment.

•

Digital public announcement system improving the quality of voice announcements at the terminal with a uniform sound level.

•

Protocol lounge allowing Diplomatic Corps representatives to receive official visits in an adequate space with all the required facilities and amenities.

•

Anti-narcotics room allowing performance of anti-narcotics control in an area appropriate for this task.

•

Room for inadmissible passengers having larger areas and all the services necessary for nonadmitted passengers by migratory authorities.

•

Children’s playroom at the international preboarding area.

•

Installation of artificial grass in the outside terrace of lounges A11 and A12.

Wyndham is Already a Part of the Airport City On July 14th, the Wyndham Quito Airport Hotel was inaugurated, located a few meters from the passenger terminal. This hotel has 150 large rooms, a modern lobby, a restaurant that offers excellent national and international cuisine, three banquet halls, and six conference rooms.

The presence of a hotel so close to the terminal provides great benefits to users, passengers, airlines, and other stakeholders in the air transport industry. It also provides an incomparable opportunity to accommodate passengers who must connect with other flights in less than one day, as well as airline crews.

The new hotel is known for its impressive architectural structure, which evokes the majesty of the country’s symbolic bird: the Andean condor with unfolded wings.

From the initial stages of the new International Quito Airport project, Corporación Quiport identified the need for a first-rate hotel in the airport area.

With the inauguration of the Wyndham Quito Airport Hotel, the Quito Airport City continues to grow to complement the services offered at the airport terminal. The Wyndham Quito Airport Hotel was financed, built, and is operated by Pronobis.

The inauguration ceremony featured the presence of Fernando Alvarado, Minister of Tourism, Gabriela Sommerfeld, General Manager of Quito Turismo, Isabel Noboa Pontón, president of Consorcio Nobis, and Andrew O’Brian, President and CEO of Corporación Quiport.

The Airport Reflects Quito´s Cultural Wealth Landscaping Holds an Important Place

90

An important area of work in 2016 was the development of a landscape improvement project at the airport’s facilities. When passengers leave the airport terminal, the façade of the Quito Airport Center’s administrative and commercial business now presents a new view. A longitudinal water fountain with 27 jets greets visitors. The sprayed water takes on various colors at night due to a special lighting system.

The roundabout connecting Collas road to the Alpachaca connector, diagonal to the Wyndham Quito Airport Hotel, is another space showing a renewed exterior. In the center of this roundabout, a circular monument evoking the country’s location at the Equator was erected. In its surroundings, a garden has been designed with a water fountain, giving this space a new aesthetic appearance.

A garden mounted on three terrace-like stairs holding various species of decorative plants has been designed behind the water fountain. In order to facilitate their maintenance and conservation, the decorative plants are native to the area.

Corporación Quiport’s objective is to make the airport increasingly warmer and cozier— a unique place to welcome all those who arrive in the country.

Mural Painted by Jorge Perugachy at the International Pre-boarding Area A mural painting created by renowned Ecuadorian artist Jorge Perugachy is exhibited at the international boarding area of the Mariscal Sucre Airport. This piece is entitled Quito y sus encantos [Quito and its Charm].

The piece portrays the city’s multiple stories in hundreds or perhaps thousands of persons and scenes, not only including heroic gestures but also popular customs. The mural includes Quito’s narrow, winding streets, its colonial houses with their red roofs, its convents, the Panecillo hill and markedly, towards the top right, the new city airport’s control tower, as a symbol of the city of the future.

The creation of this piece and its placement at the airport was supported by various authorities and instances of the Municipality of the Metropolitan District of Quito. Permanent exhibition of this piece at the capital airport is possible thanks to the sponsorship of Diners Club del Ecuador, Attenza Duty Free, and Corporación Quiport.

The Control Tower is Lit to Convey a Greater Sense of Place The implementation of a lighting system for the control tower’s body was a project that held deep symbolic meaning. We sought to provide a sense of the airport’s belonging through its most iconic structure. In order to install the lighting system, we worked in coordination with the Civil Aviation Directorate of Ecuador.

The system was first used at the commemoration of 207 years of the First Declaration of Independence in Ecuador; the control tower was lit up with the colors of the national flag: yellow, blue, and red.

In subsequent occasions, the tower was lit up with green to honor the victims of the LAMIA aircraft accident in which soccer team Chapecoense of Brazil was flying.

It was also lit up with orange in support of the United Nations Secretary General’s campaign to eradicate violence against women. Between the 4th and the 6th of December, the tower was lit up with blue and red to celebrate the Spanish foundation of Quito.

Mall del Cielo Awarded Prize in the “Win a Vespa” Promotion Andrés Gómez, winner of the Vespa Sprint 150 motorcycle raffle organized by Corporación Quiport, received his prize in January 2016. Quiport created this promotion as a way to increase customer loyalty and reward its customers for their purchases at Mall del Cielo at the Quito Mariscal Sucre Airport. Thousands of participants made their trip the perfect opportunity to compete for this spectacular prize.

The winner had made a purchase at Galerías Tikuna, a retail store specialized in handmade crafts located at the international departure area, while he was awaiting his flight.

In this way, Mall del Cielo and the Quito Airport rewarded customer loyalty.

Photography Exhibit for the 195th Anniversary of Central America’s Independence In September, the Quito International Mariscal Sucre Airport presented a photography exhibit at the public departures hall located in the passenger terminal.

The exhibit showed the diversity and beauty of Central American nations: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua.

The art gallery is exhibited due to the celebration of the 195th anniversary of their independence from Spanish rule.

In Ecuador, the embassies of these five countries recalled the significance of this date to their citizens and highlighted their country’s relations with Ecuador in political, cultural, commercial, tourism, educational, and immigration areas. The various countries held celebrations that were characterized by parades carried out by students and local authorities, pursuant to their civic duty. The parades called for citizen unity and were also full of festivity and local music.

With this exhibit, Corporación Quiport and the Quito Airport joined these celebrations.

La clave del liderazgo El mercado del transporte aéreo en Quito es cada vez mayor, y el nuevo aeropuerto Mariscal Sucre ha permitido y estimulado su crecimiento.

Desde su apertura, en febrero de 2013, las aerolíneas han expandido drásticamente el servicio de transporte aéreo a Quito, y el tráfico internacional de pasajeros en la ciudad aumentó 28 % en los tres años de funcionamiento, mientras que la llegada de visitantes no residentes a Quito se incrementó en un 33 % durante este período y el turismo de Quito sigue creciendo.

El reto para mantenerse en lo más alto por otro año está planteado.

Para ello, Corporación Quiport trabaja permanentemente para identificar posibilidades de mejora. Este nuevo galardón, lejos de ser un fin, obliga a renovar el compromiso por mantener y superar los más elevados estándares de operación y servicio de la industria aeroportuaria. “Hoy estamos muy contentos por lo que hemos logrado, sin embargo mañana estaremos trabajando en la búsqueda de nuevas oportunidades para seguir mejorando, no para ganar un premio, sino porque la ciudad y nuestros pasajeros lo merecen”, puntualizó el señor O’Brian.

Building Trust Through Corporate Social Responsibility

Socially Responsible Management is Linked to the Sustainable Development Goals Since the beginning of the Quito International Airport Project, Corporate Social Responsibility has been one of the pillars of Corporación Quiport’s management. As the project continued to develop, our focus on social responsibility has also progressed, and today it is a tool for the sustainable development of communities and the environment.

In order to focus global efforts towards sustainability, on 25 September 2015, the United Nations agreed to 17 Sustainable Development Goals. (SDGs). Each goal sets specific objectives that must be attained within the next 15 years.

At Quiport, our social responsibility work sought to define the programs and projects as a function of the SDGs in order to direct our efforts more efficiently. In this way, we were able to connect management to achieve a positive effect with respect to these 17 SDGs. This plan was presented to the citizenry during the Sustainability Summit organized during the United Nations Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development, Habitat III, which took place in Quito between the 17th and 20th of October, and in which Quiport participated with a stand located at the Corporate Social Responsibility Pavilion. Using interactive audiovisual resources, Quiport presented its main social responsibility projects to the summit’s attendees, explaining how they relate to the SDGs and how they directly benefit the environment and the communities that surround the airport.

104

2016 Annual Report /

Furthermore, Corporación Quiport was invited to participate in a series of seminars and conferences at the event focusing on the carbon footprint of the Mariscal Sucre International Airport. At the conference, Jaime Pérez, Quiport’s Environmental, Occupational Health, Industrial Safety, and Social Responsibility Manager, explained the Carbon Footprint Airport Certification process carried out by Airport Council International (ACI) and recognized by the United Nations, the International Civil Aviation Organization, the World Bank, and the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

The entire process consists of four specific stages: mapping, reduction, optimization, and neutrality of the airport’s carbon footprint.

As of the date of the presentation, Mariscal Sucre International Airport was among the 160 certified airports on a global level in any of the four stages, only four of which belong to Latin America and the Caribbean. This makes it one of the region’s pioneers. The Quito airport is certified for stage 1: mapping, and in 2016 we worked to move to stage two: reduction.

This chapter contains the highlights of our Corporate Social Responsibility work in 2016 and its relationship to the Sustainable Development Goals.

Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 17 Goals to Transform Our World.

Corporate Social Responsibility Programs According to its field of impact, and for didactic effects, the programs have been divided into three large groups: environmental, economic, and social issues.

ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES Noise Monitoring In order to comply with Ecuadorian law, we responsibly manage the noise caused by the airport’s operation, through measurements on a semester basis.

Furthermore, we prepare quarterly maps regarding the dissemination of noise to define the levels reached by the airport’s sound in its area of influence.

SDG: Cities Relevant Information: The measurement is performed at eight different points of the airport and its surroundings.

Interesting Fact:

The airport occupies a lot delineated by natural barriers (streams) that act as a buffer against noise dissemination.

In 2016: We performed two noise measurements in January and July, pursuant to the Quito Airport Environmental Management Plan.

As prescribed in domestic legislation (Book VI, Annex 9, Rules for Noise at Airports I TULAS), we performed a Noise Impact Assessment and determined isophonics (noise curves) using a noise contour map.

106

2016 Annual Report /

The results indicate that we are in compliance with environmental law as to permissible limits of environmental noise at all measurement points, with the exception of a slight excess of an average of 2 dB (decibels) at the Guambi sector, because this area is directly influenced by the aircraft operation routes. Quiport will apply established procedures to determine the actions required to correct or mitigate this impact.

Wastewater Management The system permits us to purify rainwater and wastewater resulting from the airport’s operation before it is discharged. Rainwater passes through grease traps and is then directed to a reservoir where it

undergoes a sedimentation process, prior to its final discharge. Sanitary wastewater arrives at the treatment plant through the airport’s internal sewage system, where it is subject to various purification processes.

SDG: Water, Climate Change Relevant Information:

No untreated water is discharged from the airport.

Interesting Fact:

Our internal policies require mandatory use of certified biodegradable products throughout the entire airport.

In 2016: During the last quarter, we began installing ultrasound equipment to control the growth of

algae, biofilm, and cyanobacteria through resonance and sound pressure at the rainwater reservoir.

Carbon Footprint The Quito airport participates in the Carbon Footprint Certification program established by Airport Council International. The objective is to reach a neutral carbon footprint in the medium term. A carbon footprint is the

amount of greenhouse gases emitted by any human activity. The certification has four stages: Mapping, Reduction, Optimization, and Neutrality.

SDG: Climate Change Relevant Information:

Interesting Fact:

We have complied with the first stage: determining the magnitude of our operation’s carbon footprint.

We fostered the modernization of ground support vehicle fleets; replacing them with electric vehicles.

In 2016: We focused our efforts on stage 2 of the certification, which consists of reducing emissions.

We verified compliance with international and domestic standards as to NOx emissions (nitrogen oxides and other greenhouse gases) for all vehicles that operated at the airside of the airport.

We replaced 100% of the airport’s lighting with LED lights that consume less energy, have longer useful

lives, are smaller in size, and do not use polluting materials in their manufacturing. Quiport detected that operators located outside the passenger terminal have already replaced 11.6% of their lighting systems with LED lights. This indicator will allow us to raise awareness among companies regarding the use of less polluting lighting.

Biotic Monitoring of the Caraburo Plateau We annually monitor flora (plants) and fauna (birds, mammals, amphibians, and reptiles), in order to keep abreast of the conditions of species inhabiting the area (endemic and migratory). This allows us to determine whether the operation is affecting the

species inhabiting the plateau, due to variations in their quantity, in addition to complying with our Environmental License and the requirements of the Ecuadorian Ministry of Environment.

SDG: Biodiversity Relevant information: Since 2009, we sample the same ten parcels.

In 2016: Biotic monitoring of the Caraburo plateau yielded the following data: Flora: •

Interesting Fact:

1,240 resumés have been entered into our Employment Database and 120 companies actively participate in requesting applications and resumé management.

The Employment Database surpassed limits of its area of influence and, currently includes resumés from candidates from all over the country, the United States, and Spain.

In 2016: 120 resumés were entered into the database.

Companies outside the airport’s operation, such as

KAO Sports and Grupo Barlovento have requested resumes from Quiport’s employment database.

Shared Value: Our Garden This program integrates the area’s small agricultural producers in a chain of virtual community commercialization in which airport employees participate as consumers of local production. Supply is composed of fruits, dairy products, vegetables, bread, desserts, cooked grains, prepared food,

among others. Sixteen producers and their families, residing in the Puembo, Pifo, Tababela, Yaruquí, and Checa parishes participate in the program. Four hundred employees from eight companies operating at the airport consume the products of Our Garden.

Social Investment Plan 1. Scholarship Program Since 2007, this program benefits groups of students in a vulnerable situation, with few financial resources, and attending educational establishments in the airport’s area of influence. The program began with twenty-two scholarship recipients and, since 2010, it benefits 63 children and adolescents per year. They receive US$ 300 per student. This amount exclusively covers educational expenses.

As a result of this program, many children and adolescents who would not have been able to continue their studies have completed their high school educations and many of them have been able to go on to attain higher education, even abroad.

SDG: Poverty, Education, and Alliances Relevant Information:

799 scholarships awarded since 2007.

Interesting Fact:

The program was named after David Cachago, one of our scholarship recipients.

In 2016: Seventeen students completed their General Elementary Education and three scholarship recipients withdrew from the educational institutions for personal reasons. This opened opportunities up to admit new scholarship recipients to replace them.

The replacement process is carried out based on the profile of vulnerability of children and adolescents towards whom the program is aimed. The educational institutions, in coordination with Quiport, select the most suitable students to benefit from the scholarships.

2. Environmental Education Programs We work on environmental education programs at elementary schools and high schools in the Tababela and Yaruquí parishes, located nearby the Mariscal Sucre Airport. During these programs, we

address subjects such as environmental contamination, deforestation, recycling, diversity, organic garden care, and reforestation.

SDG: Consumption, Climate Change Relevant Information:

4,127 children and adolescents have participated in the Environmental Education Program.

In 2016: Sixty five meetings where held with 3,828 attendees from elementary schools Ricardo Rodríguez in Pifo, Dr. Arturo Freire in Tababela, Jesús Ordoñez in Otón de Vélez (Yaruquí), and Santa

Catalina Labouré in Checa. The subjects of the meetings were recycling, dangers caused by bird strikes, global warming, and biodiversity.

3. Reforestation Each year, we hold a reforestation workshop at the airport plateau. We plant three species that are native to the dry ecosystem: carob trees (Acacia

macracantha), huarango trees (Tara espinosa), and cholรกn trees (Tecoma stans).

SDG: Forests, Climate Change Relevant Information:

One thousand people participated in the reforestation and planted 1,583 native trees to the area.

In 2016: We held a reforestation workshop with the Environment Secretariat of the Municipality of the Metropolitan District of Quito using native species

of the Caraburo Plateau. Three hundred people participated in this workshop and planted one thousand trees.

Christmas Celebration with Neighboring Communities The communities adjacent to the Mariscal Sucre Airport operation participated, along with CorporaciĂłn Quiport, in a Christmas celebration that was organized to thank the communities for their excellent reception of the airport and to share their efforts towards achieving their own wellbeing and enhancing the development of the population.

Close to 800 guests accepted Quiport’s invitation, but, in reality, the children of the parishes surrounding the airport were the guests of honor. They enjoyed a day of games, magic, music, and a lot of fun.

The Community Works Hand in Hand with Quiport The airport’s presence has meant development opportunities and improvement in the quality of life of the residents at the six neighboring parishes. The airport and the companies operating therein directly employ approximately 7,500 people, close to 35% of whom are parish residents. Furthermore, these areas have benefitted from new roads built to serve the airport, and entrepreneurial opportunities in service activities (hospitality, transportation, and food and beverage, primarily), which have proliferated in the area.

116

2016 Annual Report /

From the beginning of our presence in the area, Quiport has continuously worked with the communities and their leaders to identify areas for cooperation. Thus, our efforts have focused on two fundamental areas: employment opportunities, and education and training.

All this work has been reflected in a great relationship with the community, which sees Quiport as a responsible neighbor that is concerned about its people.

“Thank you for the magnificent and altruistic work performed at La Cocha and El Tablón neighborhoods and for giving the children living at the periphery of our jurisdiction the opportunity to visit the airport.” Ángel Vega, president of the Autonomous Decentralized Government of the Parish of Pifo.

Scholarship Recipients Visit the Quito Airport On March 3, 2016, Quiport’s President and CEO, Andrew O’Brian, along with the Business Development Director, Carlos Criado, visited the Arturo Freire Elementary School, located at the Tababela parish, where they granted the first scholarships corresponding to the 2015-2016 period to a group of seven children and adolescents who study in this institution.

Then, on March 11th, a group of volunteers continued to grant scholarships to another 56 students, completing the group of 63 annual beneficiaries of the David Cachago Scholarship Program. This Program was founded in 2007 to support at-risk children and youth so that they can complete their elementary and high school education.

120

2016 Annual Report /

The event held to award the scholarships was a great success thanks to the contribution and cooperation of a group of Quiport’s employees who volunteered as guides for the scholarship recipients.

They toured the airport’s facilities and became acquainted with its operation.

We thank José Luis Quezada, Nelson Cárdenas, Diego Álvarez, María del Carmen Torres, Francisco Castro, Edwin Cevallos, and Joseph Bourgeat who disinterestedly devoted their time to give the first tour of the airport to the scholarship recipients.
