Privatisation enables airports to become more commercial and allows them to provide a higher level of service to their customers. It also enables Governments to free themselves of the requirement to incur costly capital expenditure on airport facility expansion.

Even if you are just planning the first steps towards privatisation, we can advise you on management contracts, corporatisation and other structures to ensure that your business operates on a more commercial basis.

Our principals and specialists have been involved in many airport privatisations around the world, including leading the transformation of BAA into the world’s most successful airport group, and purchasing Stewart International Airport, the first airport to be privatised in the USA. We have also advised on the corporatisation of small and regional airports including Malta and Jersey.

We advise on all aspects of privatisation, including valuation, sale preparation, optimum sale methodology, market positioning, bid strategy, bid preparation and due diligence.
