Privatization of Prague Ruzyne airport

finally becomes a headliner all around Europe not just in the Czech republic. Privatization of Prague airport is a slow process, however it is moving forwards and quickly brings big attention. Prague Ruzyne airport is currently ran and owned by the Czech republic.

Credit suisse - the advisor of the Czech goverment on sale of Prague airport - should let the goverment know about the best option on March 2008. There are several companies and organizations interested in purchase of Prague airport. Essar, GMR group, Flughaffen Wien (Vienna, Austria), Fraport (Frankfurt, Germany), Abertis airport (Spain), hochtief airport (Budapest, Hungary), GVK (operator of Mombaj airport) and a few more international subject. There are several issues especially with sale / purchase of land around Prague airport. Agreement is yet to be negotiated.

We as airport transfers providers are not really interested in the sale itself, morelikely we are a bit frightened of what restrictions may the new owners bring and thereby complicate pick up service and parking. Prague airport expands and the sale is going to bring 70 - 100 billion Czech korunas to Czech treasury...
