As well as Gatwick, the Competition Commission are now telling BAA which other UK airports must be sold in order to improve competition. I must say I find the Edinburgh decision quite surprising, having assumed GLA would get off loaded first. Interesting times…

It would be good for someone to inject some cash and to fast-track the EDI expansion plan, but the planning permission will still all need to be approved won’t it? And sometimes this is the longest part…

Very good point, it is far from being a sellers market.
Now if I was a buyer, and could raise the funds………………..

Who would be in the market for an airport(s) today?:confused:

Has BAA pulled a Fast One , Glasgow was always their Jewel in the crown until recently and the down turn has been shocking , but in away it has made Glasgow look very unatractive to buy
Could this have been a rouse on the part Of BAA
I couldnt fathom out why the GLA wasnt atracting any new operators while BAA were still spending millions on the infastructure at GLA
