BAA responds to the Competition Appeal Tribunal

BAA lodged an appeal with the Competition Appeal Tribunal against the Competition Commission’s requirement to sell Stansted airport. The appeal tribunal was conducted on 5, 6 and 7 December 2011 and the final decision of the tribunal was announced today, 1 February 2012. The tribunal concluded BAA was not successful and the original decision made by the Competition Commission to sell Stansted should be upheld.

In response to today’s decision from the Competition Appeal Tribunal BAA said;

“We are disappointed by the decision of the Competition Appeal Tribunal which we will now carefully consider before making any further statements.”
