MACQUARIE INFRASTRUCTURE COMPANY ANNOUNCES

COMPLETION OF LAS VEGAS AIRPORT SERVICES ACQUISITION

NEW YORK, August 16, 2005 —Macquarie Infrastructure Company, (NYSE: MIC) announced that it completed its acquisition of Eagle Aviation Resources, Ltd. (dba: Las Vegas Executive Air, or “LVE”) on Friday, August 12, 2005. LVE is an established fixed base operation located at McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas, Nevada.

“LVE is a quality business in a great market and a solid addition to our airport services segment,” said Peter Stokes, Chief Executive Officer of MIC. “Its strong financial performance will add meaningfully to our cash available for distribution to our shareholders,” he added.

The transaction’s $58.2 million purchase price, (including working capital adjustments of $244,000) plus costs and fees of $1.6 million and pre-funded capex and integration costs of $576,000 were funded with proceeds from the MIC initial public offering. LVE’s financial results will be included in the results of operations of the Company’s airport services segment from August 13^th, 2005.

For the first six months of 2005 LVE generated revenue of $19.8 million ($17.2 million from fuel, $2.6 million from non-fuel sources). Net income and EBITDA were $3.8 and $4.6 million, respectively, for the same period. The Company believes that EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), a non-GAAP financial measure, is an important measure of the historical performance of LVE. In addition, the Company believes it provides additional insight into LVE’s contribution to the Company’s ongoing dividend policy.

A reconciliation of LVE’s net income to EBITDA is provided below (in thousands):

	Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2005
Net income	$	3,783.3
Interest expense, net		259.5
Provision for income taxes		–
Depreciation		496.2
Amortization		28.1
EBITDA	$	4,567.1

The Company expects depreciation and amortization related to LVE to be significantly higher from the date of acquisition as a result of purchase accounting, which results in the

increase in the carrying value of LVE’s assets to fair value, decreasing net income on a going forward basis.
