Why then do they say they are an "operator of airports around the world"? Any airport management team obviously carries out the 'day to day operations' implementing the owner's policies.
Apparently there was a substantial item on ITV London News at 18:10 today suggesting that Carlyle will soon own LSA. Missed it myself.
