Macquarie Infrastructure Company Announces Sales of Fixed Base Operations by Atlantic Aviation
NEW YORK - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Macquarie Infrastructure Company (NYSE: MIC) announced that its Atlantic
Aviation subsidiary has concluded sales of fixed base operations at
Hayward Executive Airport in Hayward, California and Burlington
International Airport in Burlington, Vermont.
"These transactions are consistent with Atlantic's previously disclosed
strategy of selling FBOs when an attractive valuation can be achieved
and proceeds effectively redeployed," said James Hooke, Chief Executive
Officer of MIC.
"Atlantic concluded that its operations at each of Hayward and
Burlington were sub-scale relative to their markets. Selling the FBOs at
these airports provides Atlantic with an opportunity to pursue expansion
into regions they believe have stronger growth prospects," added Hooke.
Atlantic is negotiating the acquisition of additional U.S.-based FBOs.
Proceeds from the sales of the Hayward and Burlington operations will be
retained to fund a portion of these acquisitions, should negotiations
result in a purchase agreement.
Following the announcement of the sales, MIC reaffirmed its full-year
guidance for Atlantic of EBITDA (earnings before interest taxes
depreciation and amortization) of between $125 and $130 million.
Atlantic operates the largest network of fixed base operations in the
U.S. and opened its newest facility at Will Rogers Airport in Oklahoma
City on June 21st.
