World Tonight: Gatwick up for sale

Evening Chronicle (Newcastle, England), Sept 17, 2008

HEAVILY-criticised airport operator BAA today put Gatwick Airport up for sale, with Sir Richard Branson's airline, Virgin Atlantic, saying it would "relish" the chance to buy it.

Spanish-owned BAA said it was beginning the sale process for the West Sussex airport "immediately" and that customers, staff and business would benefit. The move follows a damning report last month from the Competition Commission that proposed BAA should give up running two of its three London airports.
