BAA has today agreed to sell Gatwick Airport to Global Infrastructure Partners for £1.51 billion.
Cllr Claire Denman, lead member for Planning and Economic Development, said:
“Crawley Council has enjoyed a very good working relationship with BAA which has helped us to discuss and influence major airport decisions that impact on the town.
“The sale is certainly an interesting and exciting development and we very much look forward to meeting with the new owners to discuss future plans and build another strong and professional relationship with them.”
Completion of the sale is set for early December, subject to, among other things, EU merger regulation clearance.
