BAA told to sell off airports; Virgin may bid for Gatwick, Stansted

The competition watchdog calls for a break-up of BAA's airport empire.
The competition commission says the Spanish-owned company should sell two of its three London airports, as well as either Edinburgh or Glasgow.

Channel 4 News has learned that Virgin is already considering a bid.
