In fact, it is really owned by seven local authorities (which make up a commanding fifty-one percent) and by Copenhagen Airport (which makes up the remaining 40 percent). Some of the local authorities that make up the fifty-one percent are places like Southy Tyneside MBC, City of Sunderland, and City of Newcastle.
