Competition Commission disputes ruling

BAA LTD, who voluntarily sold Gatwick Airport last year in advance of being forced to do so, is under pressure from the Competition Commission.  BAA still owns six UK airports, including Heathrow.  The Competition Commission said last week that it would appeal against a tribunal ruling that BAA does not need to sell Stansted and either Edinburgh or Glasgow airports.  In the meantime all BAA airports are struggling, Aberdeen down by 13.6% in January.  Overall the figure for the month was 7.2m down 3.1%. www.competition-commission.org.uk
