By Chen Shanshan, China-CBN | Jun. 13, 2006
On 12th June, China-CBN learned that, Nanjing Lukou International Airport (short for "Lukou Airport"), which meant to introduce strategic investors, were partially purchased by Changi Airport in Singapore and Amsterdam Airport Schiphol NV, which both ranked as one of the five largest airports worldwide. Jiangsu Provincial Government and State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council of People's Republic of China, hoped to introduce several airports with foreign capital as strategic investors and speed up the development of Lukou Airport, through sales of 40%-45% total shares in Lukou Airport.
GM of Lukou Airport, Yu Cheng'an yesterday told China-CBN, Amsterdam Airport Schiphol NV was negotiating with the owner of Nanjing Lukou International Airport, State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of Jiangsu Provincial Government. Moreover, Singapore Changi Airport started to negotiate with State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of Jiangsu Provincial Government as early as this time last year. Presently, Government of Jiangsu Province and State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council is considering to choose one from these two strategic investors.
Mr. Sun in Party & Group Working Department of Lukou Airport told the reporter, these two companies that participated in the purchasing of Nanjing Lukou International Airport one after another were unwilling to act as strategic investors for Lukou Airport at the same time. According to the releasing of Yu Cheng'an, Nanjing Lukou International Airport would introduce at least another strategic investor apart from one of these two airports.
