The Competition Commission (CC) brought its two-year BAA airports market investigation to a close on 19 March 2009 by publishing its final report containing one of the most high-profile decisions in its history. A series of draconian remedies have been imposed on BAA, with most newspaper headlines devoted to the requirement to sell three of its seven UK airports: Gatwick, Stansted and one of either Edinburgh or Glasgow.
