Macquarie Asset Management is nearing a deal to buy a sizeable minority interest in the capital's fifth-busiest airport, Sky News understands.

The Australian financial giant Macquarie is close to snapping up a stake in London City Airport – the capital's fifth-biggest – amid a wider shake-up in its ownership structure.

Sky News understands that Macquarie Asset Management is nearing a deal to buy a minority interest in the Docklands airport from at least one of its cluster of Canadian shareholders.

Industry sources said City Airport was preparing to make an announcement about changes to its shareholder base as soon as this week, although the Macquarie deal may take slightly longer to finalise, they added.
