Sydney Airport agreed to sell itself to a consortium of funds for A$23.6 billion ($17 billion), just as Australia reopens its borders to international travel.

The airport’s board accepted an offer of A$8.75 per share from a group led by IFM Investors Pty, and unanimously recommended shareholders vote to approve the deal early next year, the company said in a statement Monday.
