Lydd Airport boss expects to benefit from BAA sell off
02.11.08
Regional airports such as Manston and Lydd Airport stand to benefit from any sale of Gatwick, according to a Kent airport boss. Zaher Deir, managing director of London Ashford Airport (Lydd), welcomed the likely disposal of Gatwick airport.
Mr Deir said: ‘We are pleased with the decision of the Competition Commission in regards to the BAA ownership. I believe the whole dynamic of south east airport's will be more competitive, and that regional airports will benefit a great deal.'
‘The congestion at the main airports will not change due to them operating at maximum capacity - however smaller airports will enjoy the spill over and will be able to build on the increase of the number of aircraft movements and passenger numbers.’
