InfraBridge, a subsidiary of DigitalBridge Group, Inc. (NYSE:DBRG), announced Thursday that it has agreed to sell control of a new airport holding company, marking a significant change in the ownership of two major U.K. regional airports.
InfraBridge has signed a binding agreement to transfer a 51% interest in the holding company to Aena S.M.E., S.A. (OTC:ANYYY), valuing the stake at approximately 270 million pounds (~$340 million).
The holding company holds 100% of Leeds Bradford Airport and a 49% stake in Newcastle International Airport. InfraBridge will retain the remaining 49% interest and continue to manage its share after the deal closes, subject to regulatory approval.

Despite the shift in ownership, day-to-day operations will continue to be managed by the current team.
This transaction reflects the ongoing consolidation trend in the transportation infrastructure sector, which is closely tied to long-term regional growth.
Leeds Bradford Airport, Yorkshire's main travel hub, handled 4.3 million passengers last year. Newcastle International Airport, the principal gateway to northeast England, served approximately 5.2 million travelers and offers a broad selection of flights.
Both airports are freehold assets and will continue to operate independently. InfraBridge Managing Director Justin Symonds stated that the deal demonstrates confidence in the airports' future and further strengthens the partnership with Aena, which already operates London Luton Airport.
The transaction also directs renewed attention to InfraBridge's parent company, DigitalBridge. Investors continue to closely monitor DigitalBridge as market sentiment shifts around infrastructure and digital assets.
