Sources: Abu Dhabi is considering buying into Heathrow 

 

The emirate of Abu Dhabi's investment company and pension giant Mubadala is considering buying a stake in London's Heathrow airport, sources told Bloomberg.  

 

Mubadala has reportedly received a request for interest from the Paris-based investment company Ardian.  

 

In November, Spanish Ferrovial agreed to sell its share in the airport to Saudi Arabia's pension fund PIF and Ardian for the equivalent of approximately SEK 30 billion, a deal that has not yet gone through.

 

Qatar's pension fund QIA already owns 20 percent of Heathrow, and Mubadala can thus become the third of the Gulf states' pension giants to enter the company.

Australia's decision to invest an additional SEK 75 billion in expanding its fleet could result in order values in the billions for Saab, writes Affärsvärlden.  

 

The Swedish defense group already has an agreement with Australia to supply combat management systems to the entire surface-borne navy in the country, the newspaper further writes.
