Дата: 16-05-19 12:11VINCI AIRPORTS COMPLETES ACQUISITION OF 50.01% STAKE IN GATWICKLondon Gatwick Airport today confirmed that it is under new ownership after VINCI Airports completed its acquisition of a controlling 50.01% stake in the gateway. The deal, which was agreed late last year, means that the UK airport joins VINCI's growing global portfolio of 46 airports in 12 countries across cross Asia, Europe and the Americas. Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP) will continue to manage the remaining 49.99% interest in Gatwick. As a result of the deal, it notes that Gatwick teams will have access to broader opportunities particularly in international career development and in-house training. Sir David Higgins, Stewart Wingate and Nick Dunn will remain respectively chairman, CEO and CFO of the airport, and will be joined by Cédric Laurier, from VINCI Airports, as CTO (chief technical officer). The airport’s ambitious plans for the future remain, with a further £1.1 billion Capital Investment Programme (CIP) set to deliver a range of passenger improvements by 2023. While Wingate said: “Today is the start of a new chapter for Gatwick, with new owners and further investment enabling the airport to continue on its successful journey. The California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS), as part of the 49.99% interest managed by GIP, will retain a 9.99% stake in Gatwick. Paul Mouchakkaa, managing investment director– real assets, CalPERS, said:“CalPERS is excited to be a part of this new chapter of Gatwick’s future.” Since December 2009, Gatwick has grown passenger numbers from 32 million to more than 46 million in 2019, while maintaining very high passenger satisfaction scores. Gatwick has also achieved much success in growing its long haul network, with over 60 long haul routes now available across Asia, North and South America and beyond. The airport also continues to look to the future and recently consulted on its Draft Master Plan for the next 15 years, looking at how Gatwick could make best use of its existing infrastructure and, notably, its existing standby runway.
