It is anticipated to pay approximately £800m for acquiring HAH’s assets and airports. However, the completion of the proposed sale is not certain.
A spokesperson from BAA said: "Over recent months, group shareholders and management of Heathrow Airport Holdings have been considering their strategic position in relation to our three airports in Aberdeen, Glasgow and Southampton.
"As a result, the group is now formally entering a sale process. Whilst there is currently no certainty that a sale will be concluded, the group intends to work towards completing a transaction by the end of the year."
According to Glasgow Airport, the amount raised by selling the three airports will be invested in Heathrow.
