Foreign firms buy two Scots airports in £1bn deal

[mhm]

TWO of Scotland's largest airports have been sold to a foreign consortium in a £1 billion deal.

Glasgow and Aberdeen International Airports, which are used by 11 million passengers every year between them, have been bought from Heathrow Airport Holdings Limited as part of a package that also includes Southampton.

A consortium of Spanish infrastructure firm Ferrovial and a fund managed by the Australian Macquarie Group is expected to complete the purchase of the airports by January.
