The sun sets on BAA's dominance of the UK aviation sector, probably derailing Stansted expansion plans for good measure.

Times are tough at the enormous aircraft hangar that I like to imagine BAA plot their world domination from. Being the biggest airport operator in the world, not to mention being best mates with the UK government's inner circle, you'd think they'd pretty much be able to do what they wanted. But it turns out the Competition Commission is going to make them sell three of their seven airports - Stansted, Gatwick and either Edinburgh or Glasgow.
