JCDecaux Airport and BAA joint announcement

Paris, 11th May 2009 - In response to the changing shape of the UK airport business following the sale of Gatwick and the recent Competition Commission report, BAA and JCDecaux Airport today announce that they have jointly agreed to terminate their existing ‘pan-airport’ advertising agreement.

The existing agreement will end in April 2010 and the process to structure a new contract commences shortly and will present both organisations with an opportunity to better structure their businesses to reflect the new airport portfolio.

In May 2006 JCDecaux Airport was awarded the BAA contract for 7 UK airports: Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Southampton, as well as Heathrow Express.

In addition to the BAA airports, JCDecaux Airport holds the UK advertising contracts for London Luton, Eurotunnel and the Gatwick Express.
