WHAT DOES BRITISH AIRPORTS AUTHORITY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

British Airports Authority

Heathrow Airport Holdings

Heathrow Airport Holdings Limited, formerly BAA, is the United Kingdom-based operator of four British airports making the company one of the largest transport companies in the world. The company was formed by the privatisation of the British Airports Authority as BAA plc, and was once a constituent of the FTSE 100 Index. The company was bought in 2006 and taken private by a consortium led by Ferrovial, a Spanish firm specialising in the design, construction, financing, operation and maintenance of transport, urban and services infrastructure. The company's head office is located in The Compass Centre on the grounds of London Heathrow Airport in the London Borough of Hillingdon. The company makes money from charging landing fees to airlines and increasingly from ancillary operations within those airports such as retail and property. It owns and operates four airports within the UK. Even under the name BAA, it did not operate all UK airports as most are in the ownership of local authorities or other corporations. The company was renamed as Heathrow Airport Holdings in 2012 to reflect Heathrow Airport being its main business.
