LONDON, October 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Gatwick Airport [http://www.gatwickairport.com ], the UK's second largest airport has appointed leading mobile marketing and technology company,

Secret plans sent out by Spanish-owned BAA call for a new runway at Gatwick Airport in Britain, in spite of the government's intentions. BAA, under pressure from the Competition Commission to sell Gatwick, sent bidders for the airport a confidential memorandum entitled Gatwick builds a second runway, The Times of London reported Thursday. The government has said it prefers a new runway at Stansted Airport, followed by one at Heathrow, the Times said. But, the commission said the government was interfering with the open market. The government should ensure that the aviation national policy statement does not unduly constrain this market, the commission said. A new runway at Gatwick would displace 300 homes and subject 26,000 residents to jet noise above 54 decibels.

AIRPORT operator BAA has put the For Sale sign up over Gatwick airport in a move likely to spark a lively bidding war. Almost as soon as the Spanish-owned company announced it was selling the West Sussex airport, Sir Richard Branson's airline Virgin Atlantic said it relished the chance to run it.

Spain's Ferrovial Group announced Wednesday it would put London's Gatwick Airport up for sale to comply with an anti-competition ruling.
