Portland, Maine - The Portland International Jetport today announced that S&P Global Ratings has raised their credit rating on the Jetport Revenue Bonds to A- from BBB+.

“The S&P upgrade is acknowledgment of our strong financial standing and solid passenger and revenue growth over the past three years” said Paul Bradbury, Airport Director.

“The rating upgrade reflects our expectation that PWM will maintain debt service coverage at levels we consider strong, and debt and liabilities capacity at levels we consider very strong, along with no additional debt needs,” said S&P Global ratings credit analyst Scott Shad.

The upgraded rating agency reports have been posted on the Jetport’s website www.portlandjetport.org
