Airport owner's flight from the past

Article Abstract:

The British Airports Authority was privatized in 1987 by the UK government, becoming BAA Plc. BAA Plc has a near monopoly over the airports in southeast England and owns the three airports serving London: Heathrow, Gatwick, and Stansted. Heathrow, which with over 40 million passengers in 1989/90, is the world's largest airport, and Gatwick, which handled 21.2 million passengers in 1989, is the world's second busiest airport. BAA Plc Group Finance Dir Nigel Ellis estimates that the number of passengers the three London airports will handle will reach between 75 and 80 million annually by 1995, and BAA Plc has committed 1.2 billion pounds sterling to upgrade capacity. The UK government retains a special share in BAA which gives it the right to approve ownership changes in order that the public interest is served.
