BBA gets clearance for Landmark

British aircraft services company BBA Aviation has announced that it has won US antitrust approval to buy Landmark Aviation in a deal, signed last year, reputed to be worth US$2m.

BBA, which owns Signature Flight Support, agreed to divest fixed base operators assets, which supply fuel and other support to smaller aircraft, at six airports as a condition of antitrust approval. The airports in question are Washington Dulles, Scottsdale Municipal, Fresno Yosemite, Jacqueline Cochran Regional, Westchester County and Ted Stevens in Alaska.
