You might have guessed that in the UK, airports are privatised too!
www.baa.co.uk owns 7 british airports including Heathrow
And also owns or manages under contract the following airports around the world.
Mauritius, Launceston, Naples, Indianapolis, Melbourne, Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, Boston Logan
The UK government is somewhere along the track of privatising air traffic control.
