BAA Press Release 18 September 2006

As the new school year gets underway, BAA has launched its education
website, Take Off and Learn, to assist teachers particularly responsible
for KS1 and KS4 pupils to learn more about airports. The site is also
targeted for people interested in learning more about gaining vocational
skills in order to work in an airport environment.

The website, which can be found at www.baa.com/education, provides
information for parents and teachers including study plans and worksheets
as well as information on BAA?s education programmes ? including vocational
skills and work experience.

Helen Murley, Director of Corporate Responsibility, BAA said: ?BAA is
committed to supporting the Government?s 14-19 year old education agenda
through community programmes at all seven BAA airports in the UK. Our Take
Off & Learn education website is just part of a programme designed to help
young people develop key skills to support their personal development and
future employability.?

Available on the site is a downloadable interactive multimedia program
aimed at ICT GCSE pupils to help students find out about the use of ICT
systems and databases in use at the airport.

For primary school children, an interactive program called Jumbo and Jet,
has been developed. The program introduces children to the airport
environment by illustrating the journey through airport through an animated
storybook.
