EDINBURGH — Vinci Airports has formally closed the acquisition of a 50.01% majority shareholding in Edinburgh Airport Limited from Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP) for approximately £1.27 billion.
Under the new ownership structure, Vinci will commit £250 million in capital expenditure over the next five years to construct an expanded international arrivals pier, install 12 automated CT security lanes, and expand commercial concession spaces. Edinburgh Airport handled 15.4 million PAX in the preceding 12 months, making it Scotland's busiest international gateway.
Regulatory clearance was granted unconditionally by the UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA).
