Story

In December 2024, Ardian finalized the acquisition of a 22.6% share in FGP TopCo, the holding company for Heathrow Airport Holdings Ltd, thereby becoming its largest shareholder. The deal involved purchasing shares from Ferrovial SE and other investors, with an additional simultaneous acquisition where the Public Investment Fund (PIF) secured a 15% stake through a separate investment vehicle. This significant investment aligns with Ardian's commitment to contributing to infrastructure development and sustainable growth while emphasizing the UK as a primary investment market.
