DUBAI, July 7 (Reuters) - Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has selected Rothschild & Co (ROTH.PA) to advise on the strategic review of its assets, two sources close to the matter said on Thursday. The transport regulator is considering an initial public offering of Dubai Taxi Corp and its public parking business, said the sources, who declined to be named as the matter is not public. The authority is expected to appoint Emirates NBD for the potential IPOs, two sources with knowledge of the matter said. Dubai raised nearly $8.5 billion from five IPOs last year, fuelled by a government privatisation plan to list 10 state-linked companies to boost stock market activity. The authority was also looking at potential options for its public parking assets and the Nol card, which passengers use to pay for public transport across the emirate.

MUMBAI, Sept 29 (Reuters Breakingviews) - Singapore is boosting its hub status as global recession fears loom. Aviation services group SATS (SATS.SI) is acquiring the world’s largest air cargo logistics provider for $2.2 billion from U.S. buyout firm Cerberus. The deal could ultimately lift trade flows through Singapore where aviation contributes more than 5% of GDP. SATS is part of the city-state’s industry trinity that includes its former parent Singapore Airlines (SIAL.SI) and Changi Airport. As global cargo activity nears pre-pandemic levels, Singapore is providing a strategic home to an asset that’s passed through multiple financial owners.
SINGAPORE, Sept 28 (Reuters) - Singapore-based ground handling and catering provider SATS Ltd (SATS.SI) is acquiring Paris-based Worldwide Flight Services (WFS) for 1.19 billion euros ($1.14 billion) cash in its largest ever deal, to create the world's biggest global air cargo handler. SATS' CEO Kerry Mok called the deal "a transformational opportunity for SATS", saying it would create a global leader. Last week, Bloomberg News reported that SATS had sounded out financing for a possible deal that could be worth about $3 billion. WFS reported 1.722 billion euros in revenue and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization of 232 million euros for the year ended March 2022. Founded in 1984, WFS is the world's largest air cargo logistics provider and a major provider of ground handling and technical services.
