Competition chiefs are expected to finally confirm today that airport operator BAA will have to sell two of its airports.

The ruling by the Competition Commission (CC) will end two years of hiatus since an original decision in 2009.

At that time, the commission ruled that BAA would have to sell Gatwick and Stansted airports as well as either Edinburgh or Glasgow airport.

But there were then a series of legal challenges by BAA to the ruling, which ended with the CC findings being upheld.
