Saudi Arabia buys stake in Heathrow Airport

Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) is taking a 10% stake in Heathrow Airport.

It is buying the stake from Spanish firm Ferrovial.

Additionally, Ferroval’s remaining 15% will be sold to private equity firm Ardian.

Ferrovial has owned the 25% stake since 2006.

The two deals are worth a total of £2.37bn to Ferraval.

Other investors in Heathrow’s parent company FGP Topco include Qatar Investment Authority.

Ferroval has significant investments in other airports and infrastructure ventures across Europe, including a 50% shareholding in Aberdeen, Glasgow and Southampton airports.
