The Slovak government approved a plan to lease Bratislava airport, the country’s busiest, to a strategic partner for 30 years, Transportation Minister Jan Figel said.

The government wants to pick the winner of a lease contest by June 2012, Figel said today at a press conference in Bratislava, Slovakia, after a Cabinet meeting. The government expects the partner to boost traffic and reduce the airport’s dependency on Ryanair Holdings Plc, which has the biggest share.
