Changi Airport Group invests S$100mln in Rome airports

Changi Airport Group has acquired a 5% stake, its largest acquisition to date, in the holding company of Aeroporti di Roma.

The S$100 million investment made CAG's wholly-owned subsidiary Changi Airports International one of the key shareholders of Gemina S.p.A.

Aeroporti di Roma owns the concession to operate the Leonardo da Vinci Airport and the Giovan Battista Pastine Airport, which together handled 382,082 aircraft movements and more than 38.6 million passengers in 2009.

Mr Lee Seow Hiang, Changi Airport Group's Chief Executive Officer, said, "With this investment, CAG becomes the first Asian operator to invest in a European capital city airport with a substantial strategic role. Rome, one of Europe's leading capitals, has over 3 million people and is the primary gateway to Italy, Europe's fourth largest economy and population."

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
