BAA wins permission to appeal ruling on Stansted Airport sale
AIRPORT owner BAA has been given permission to appeal against a competition ruling that forces it to sell off Stansted Airport.
BAA said it “look[s] forward to presenting our arguments before the Court of Appeal” after it was allowed to fight against the Competition Appeal Tribunal’s February ruling.
The tribunal had upheld an earlier case that required BAA to dispose of Stansted to create more competition in the UK airport sector, the latest court case in a three year dispute.
BAA, owned by Spanish infrastructure firm Ferrovial, last month sold Edinburgh Airport to Gatwick owner GIP for £807m.
