One of the biggest was the UK Competition Commission's decision to force the operator to sell three of its UK airports over fears that it had a monopoly of the domestic market. This culminated in the sale of Gatwick to
Global Infrastructure Partners in December 2009 for £1.5bn.

In February 2012, the country's National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC) raised R$24.5bn (US$14.2bn) from the concession to operate and upgrade Guarulhos International Airport (São Paulo), Viracopos International Airport (Campinas) and Brasília International Airport - a value 347% higher than the auction's minimum bid levels.

It recognises that the air transport industry plays a major role in world economic activity and remains one of the fastest growing sectors; however, in many places, demand often exceeds the available capacity of the system, resulting in significant negative consequences, not only to the aviation industry, but also to general economic health.
