Birmingham: General Airport Discussion & Updates

[andrew.clarkson]

So if the metropolitan councils were the majority shareholder in Birmingham airport, but Ontario teachers pension plan currently have a minority shareholding. Where would the airport get it's funding and investment from.

 

[rollo]

Passengers, retail outlets, car parking, financial institutions (loans), shareholders etc.just like any other business in fact.

The airport has no single majority shareholder.

 

[andrew.clarkson]

So if Ontario teachers pension plan holds 48.25 %, and they are a minority shareholder. If someone wanted to purchase that 48.25%, how much would it cost to purchase that percentage.

Not sure why this is on the Emirates thread but it all depends on the valuation of BHX at the time
The pension scheme says it's airports are worth £10bn which their share at £3.5bn, it has stakes in BHX, BRS, LCY, BRU & CPH (not sure what they own in each airport)

Combined value
The airports are estimated to be worth over £10 billion, while OTPP's share portfolio is valued at around £3.5 billion.

I went into the terminal today for the first time since November 2021. A lot seems to have changed - those escalators around the departure area aren't there anymore and it seems the whole upstairs are for passengers only.

Feels like an age ago that they had those spotted windows and the aviation experience.

Not really all over BHX happenings much. Mentally checked out somewhat.

 

[Birmingham Aviation]

International Carriers frequency’s 2025
Turkish 18 weekly (Be interesting what aircraft they use)
Pegasus 5 weekly (could be daily who knows)
Emirates 2 daily
Qatar daily
Saudia 3 weekly (could be 7 weekly not confirmed)
Air India Daily
PIA (not confirmed)

51 weekly flights.

That’s decent

 

[HPsauce]

PIA ??. Don't think so.

 

[Karl C]

Yes agree but bhx certainly doing bit better than it has in the past especially when you throw in freight

Agreed....the elmdon site could do with another freight centre or even a low-cost terminal.

I wouldn't totally rule out either with new owners , obviously dependant on who comes in but potential clear to see

Do we actually know that one of the owners (who?) is planning on selling their stake in BHX?

Yes Ontario Pensions have publicly confirmed shares for sale

There’s shares on for sale, I’ve heard a Middle East airline has possibly bought shares but it’s unknown who Exactly, my guess will be EK as expected though
