by Aviator<\/p>\n

Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP) with portfolio of Gatwick, Edinburgh and Sydney Airports, and Signature Aviation, has agreed to a purchase price of US$12.5bln to be concluded in cash and shares in BlackRock, making the merger into one of the largest infrastructure investment companies.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Oncemore Antigua investment and upmarket platform makes a first which could open doors for Antigua & Barbuda.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

It is these visionary niche markets on our paradise of small islands which allow for introductions to other highend investors and chain investments, which bring first the vacationing wealthy, who see opportunities, resulting in more investment opportunities for the island.<\/p>\n

Antigua\u2019s Aviation started with Mill Reef, and now, post pandemic and the collateral damage of war on the world has renewed travel interest in the peaceful Caribbean, bringing yachts and bizjet of the wealthy and high-end corporate world.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

This merger of GIP and BlackRock is a unique opportunity for Antigua to engage BlackRock in financing the entire airport repair, reform, setting in place a properly run, revenue generating, technologically grounded and proficiently placed in the International Aviation space which Antigua occupies. T<\/p>\n

his is what they do!<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Of course, the Government will have to take a hands-off approach as the cultural intrusion into international airport administration is surgically removed in total.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

When Signature Flight Support was introduced to Antigua in 2014, St. Kitts & Nevis were also involved in their welcome into the Caribbean, as they quickly expanded throughout the region buying up Handling Companies on the islands.<\/p>\n

Their experience and stature was expected to lift the region to the next level, and having been sold in 2021 to GIP, Blackstone & Cascade, they will now be incorporated into BlackRock.<\/p>\n

After ten years the time has now come for Antigua to be incorporated into the high level competence and execution of which both GIP & BlackRock boast.<\/p>\n
