Airports poised for £1bn sale
Ferrovial, which paid £10.6bn for BAA at the top of the market in 2006, remains a 25 per cent shareholder in the now-renamed Heathrow Airport Holdings (HAH). It is now understood to have teamed up with Macquarie, the Australian investment group, to buy the two Scottish assets, along with Southampton airport.
The sale of Aberdeen, Glasgow and Southampton will see HAH focus on Heathrow, which is the world’s busiest airport for international flights.
