OREANDA-NEWS. Today Fitch launches its first interactive peer study for U.S. airports.

'The interactive peer study is a user-friendly analytical tool that allows users to dive deeper into the key credit metrics that underpin Fitch's credit analysis of U.S. Airports,' said Jamie Goh, analyst in the U.S. Public Finance and Global Infrastructure and Project Finance Groups.

The peer study contains key financial information for Fitch-rated issuers; a graphical plotting function for three-year annual performance; and a radar chart that indicates key risk levels.

The study also features a peer analysis tool, which provides the credit profile for each issuer.

The median charting tool allows users to generate a graphic representation of how specific metrics compare to medians.

For more information, a special report titled 'US Airports Interactive Peer Study' is available on the Fitch Ratings web site at www.fitchratings.com.
