Statement from Infratil CEO, Marko Bogoievski :
“The short term market conditions in no way change the future potential of the airport [KIA] as outlined in our development plans. Although the current economic downturn has affected KIA in the same way as it has affected other UK airports and business in general, we firmly believe that markets will recover and KIA will be ideally situated to provide an immediate solution to the South East’s predicted runway capacity shortfall. We are not actively seeking to sell KIA, and remain committed to its long term development.
