STANSTED AIRPORT: Campaign group welcomes "sell" decision

1:48pm Wednesday 27th August 2008

By David Jackman »

AIRPORT campaign group Stop Stansted Expansion has welcomed the Competition Commission’s findings that conclude that BAA should sell two of its three London airports.

A spokesman said: “We have long argued for a break-up of BAA and are therefore delighted by the 'Provisional Findings' report from the Competition Commission. We consider it inconceivable that BAA would willingly sell Heathrow which means that Stansted and Gatwick must both be sold.

“This will not in itself remove the threat of a second runway at Stansted but we believe it moves us a step closer to the day when this idea will be abandoned. “We look forward to working with the new owners of Stansted towards achieving this objective.”
