May 31 (Reuters) - Spain's airport operator Aena AENA.MC is interested in buying the British airports jointly operated by Ferrovial FERF.AS and Australia's Macquarie (MQG) and valued at 1 billion euros ($1.08 billion), Spanish economic newspaper Expansion reported on Friday citing unidentified sources.
Ferrovial and Macquarie intend to sell the operator of the Glasgow, Aberdeen and Southampton airports, the newspaper said. Each own a 50% stake in the operator.
The operation would fit in with Aena's internationalisation plans.
The Spanish airport operator, the world's largest in terms of passengers, runs terminals in Britain, Brazil and other countries in Latin America and has said it wants to expand.
A spokesperson for Aena said the company evaluates all assets available.
Ferrovial declined to comment, while Macquarie did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Dealmaking in the European airport sector is picking up. France's Vinci SGEF.PA recently bought a 50.1% stake in Edinburgh Airport.
