Ardian, a private equity firm, and Finint, the private equity arm of Finanziaria Internazionale Holding, agreed to acquire Milione, an operator of several airports in northern Italy, from DWS Infrastructure, an infrastructure investment manager, and InfraVia Capital Partners, a private equity firm, for €1.2bn. "This transaction reflects our strong confidence in Save’s future and in the strategic role of the airports managed by the Group, which serve both as a gateway and a showcase for the cities that are symbols of European culture and economy. It also reaffirms Ardian’s strong interest in both the Italian market and the sector. We will work closely with the company’s management team and the relevant institutions to support the sector’s development, while continuing to deliver and enhance excellent services for passengers, airlines, and local communities. We are pleased to start this new phase of the company’s growth alongside Finint," Mathias Burghardt, Ardian Executive Vice President, CEO of Ardian France, and Head of Infrastructure.
