Paris airports (ADP) fall on the stock market. The action of the French public company which develops, obtained and operates airport platforms fell by more than 12% on Tuesday in the first exchanges on the Paris Stock Exchange, accusing the blow after the sale of the participations of the operator from Dutch Schiphol airports at a much lower price than the previous day. Schiphol announced the sale of all of the 3.9% of Aéroports de Paris that it held until then at a price of 133 euros per share, in a press release on Tuesday.

The price of the ADP share, which was worth 147.65 euros on Monday at the close, fell Tuesday morning around 09:45 (08:45 GMT) to 128.85 euros, a fall of 12.77%. Aéroports de Paris, which oversees Roissy and Orly, and Schiphol Group, had signed a long-term industrial cooperation agreement and a cross-shareholding price of 8% in 2008. The sale of the shares, the last part of which was announced on Tuesday and which will formally take place on Thursday, was scheduled between the two groups.
