FARNBOROUGH AIRPORT SOLD
Macquarie Infrastructure and Real Assets (“MIRA”) has acquired Farnborough Airport from a consortium of private investors.
The purchase includes the airfield, The Aviator Hotel and the Swan public house.
Farnborough Airport is the only dedicated business aviation airport in the United Kingdom. The airport, which handles more than 30,000 air traffic movements each year, has facilities designed to maximise travel efficiency, reliability and customer experience for passengers travelling to London and the South East.
Farnborough Airport was the world’s first dedicated business aviation airport to receive carbon neutral status from Airports Council International, and its facilities and services have seen it named Europe’s best Fixed-Based Operator (FBO) facility since 2005.
“We are delighted to announce our investment in Farnborough Airport,” said Leigh Harrison of MIRA. "In addition to holding an important place in UK aviation history, the Airport is known for its high-quality offering to customers. Drawing on our extensive experience managing airport infrastructure around the world, we look forward to partnering with Farnborough Airport to ensure it remains an important contributor to the local economy and a business aviation gateway to London and the South East.”
“The significant investment that has occurred at Farnborough Airport over the past two decades under the previous shareholders has been transformative,” said Brandon O’Reilly, CEO of Farnborough Airport. With a number of development projects already underway, we are excited to partner with Macquarie to further develop our offering to the business aviation market.”
Farnborough Airport is the birthplace of aviation in the UK. When opened in 1908, Farnborough Airport was the UK’s first airfield and the site of the country’s first powered flight. Internationally, the airport is known for being the site of one of the world’s premier events for the aviation industry – the Farnborough International Airshow.
MIRA is a leading global investor in airport infrastructure, with approximately 72 million passengers using MIRA-managed airports each year. MIRA-managed funds are invested in 12 commercial airports across Europe and Australia, and 68 FBO facilities across the USA.
