According to a source, five days before a deadline for bids to be submitted to buy Stansted Airport, a New Zealand consortium has dropped out of the race while a joint bid from two Malaysian companies have joined. UK’s operator Heathrow Airport Holdings Ltd is selling Stansted to remedy competition concerns from the Commission, who has ruled that Heathrow holds a dominant position in the airports market.

Three bids, including the Malaysian bid, are expected to be submitted for a deal valued around $1.61 billion.
