The Madrid-based company is said to have held “preliminary talks” with external advisers over its future with Heathrow after 16 years as an investor.
The “early-stage” discussions are believed to have come amid interest in Ferrovial’s stake from private equity firm Ardian, which, according to Reuters’ sources, has held talks with its advisers over a possible joint proposal with Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF).
Ferrovial is yet to take a final decision and the discussions may not result in a sale, sources told Reuters.
Ferrovial and Ardian both declined to comment when asked by Reuters, while PIF did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
