Australian firm finalises deal for 55% airport stake

The deal sees the Australian asset manager acquire a 55 per cent stake in Bristol Airport and a 26.5 per cent stake in Birmingham Airport from Canada's Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan (OTPP).

The transaction - the financial details of which have not been disclosed - was via the Macquarie European Infrastructure Fund 7 on behalf of long-term institutional investors including pension funds and insurance companies, and co-investors.

Some reports in the financial trade press suggest Macquarie paid about £1.1 billion for the stake in the two leading regional airports.
