This is an interesting deal.
Both Newcastle airport and Leeds Bradford airport have seen huge increases in passenger numbers since these private investment companies got involved with the ownership of them.
But both airports have also seen debts building at an alarming rate over many years while both battled for passengers.
It has been reported Leeds Bradford airport (group of companies) debt are over £200 million.
It has been reported Newcastle airport (group of companies) debt are over £400 million.
I'm sure all will end better now one company has control of both airports.
