Ferrovial to “continue to tap the markets”, shares dip
Ferrovial SA Chairman, Rafael del Pino, announced yesterday the company plans to "continue to tap the markets" to finance operations, if they are as "liquid as they are now" before a decision to sell more airports.
The BAA parent is still awaiting on the UK Civil Aviation Authority's judgment on whether BAA will be forced to sell London Stansted and Glasgow or Edinburgh airports. Mr del Pino acknowledges the company will "eventually have to sell some BAA assets", but "hopefully in better market conditions" than when BAA sold London Gatwick.
Meanwhile, Mr del Pino stated BAA performed "slightly better" year-on-year in Jan-2010, and expects passenger traffic at its airports to improve this year. Shares in Ferrovial dipped 2.1% yesterday.
