BAA are in the process of losing some of their grip on UK airports as the Competition Commission reported that common ownership of BAA airports is not conducive to a competitive market.BAA currently own seven airports - Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Southampton, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen.
Recent criticisms of developments at Heathrows' Terminal Five has not placed BAA in a positive light, and rival companies Ryanair, bmi and the like are crowding in to offer their opinions...
The main criticism remains that the three main London airports offer no competitive choice as BAA owns them all, and to a lesser degree this also applies to Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen. It is widely believed that BAA may be forced to sell at least one London airport and continue to operate there, possibly using their own terminal so that the impact on the traveler remains minimal.
