1 month, 1 week, 3 days, 13 hours agoThe long-awaited break-up of the UK’s biggest airport group began on Wednesday after BAA reached an agreement to sell Gatwick to the owners of London City Airport for £1.5bn.
The sale to Global Infrastructure Partners, which was approved late on Tuesday night by the Competition Commission, ends a tortuous process that started a year ago when BAA, a subsidiary of Spain’s Ferrovial infrastructure group, put Gatwick up for sale in an attempt to head off competition concerns about its market dominance.
