Peel Airports to buy Humberside?
Has anyone else heard that Peel Airports (operators of Liverpool, Sheffield and Finningly), are making a serious bid to buy Humberside Airport?
Apparently, MAN PLC, after buying it as a political sop to get planning approval for runway 2 at Manchester, and are willing to off load it, as it has served its purpose and HUY is struggling to pay its way in MAN PLC terms.
This would make Peel the obvious bidder, as, on the same basis, it would smooth the political waters to enable Peel to get planning approval for the development at Finningly.
