Aena has strengthened its presence in the UK with the purchase of a 51% stake in a newly created holding company that owns and manages 100% of Leeds Bradford Airport and 49% of Newcastle Airport. The transaction, valued at £270m (US$360m), consolidates Aena’s position in the UK market, where it already holds a 51% stake in London Luton Airport.
The deal, signed on December 18, 2025, will see InfraBridge retain the remaining 49% of the new holding company. InfraBridge is also the owner of the other 49% of London Luton Airport, reinforcing its long-term strategic partnership with Aena in the UK.
