It is understood that the two banks were
considering the sale less than one year after forming the
consortium that bought Porterbrook from Abbey, back in December
2008.
BNP Paribas-owned Antin Infrastructure,
Deutsche Bank and Lloyds TSB all have shares in the lessor. In
December 2009, Deutsche Bank sold 10 percent of its shares to
Antin. It now owns 40 percent of Porterbrook.
