Manchester Airport Group respond to competition report into BAA

20 August 2008

The Manchester Airports Group (MAG) welcomes today’s Competition Commission report on the BAA Airports Market Investigation.

We have given evidence of our own experiences to the Competition Commission’s inquiry into BAA and we believe that today’s provisional findings are good news for passengers and airlines.

MAG is an experienced, UK-owned airport operator with a strong track record in investing in the passenger experience, delivering efficient operations, a partnership approach to our business relationships, managing our costs effectively and a World-leading environmental performance.

We have consistently stated that the Group is interested in acquiring assets that will add value for our shareholders and this could include one or more of the BAA airports.

We are currently examining the details of today’s report before making any decision about future acquisitions.
