BAA: Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Southampton, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen.

Manchester Airport Group: Manchester, Bournemouth, Nottingham-EMA

Peel Holdings: Durham/Tees, Liverpool, Doncaster, Sheffield (they also own the Trafford Centre)

Majority Local Authority Ownership: Newcastle (with Copenhagen), Birmingham (with Aer Rianta), Luton (operated by Abertis/Aena), Exeter, Humberside, Blackpool

Maquarie & Cintra: Bristol

TBL plc: Cardiff

doubtless I've missed some, but I think that's most of the major ones.

... also, airports in the north of Scotland are operated by Highlands & Islands Airports, wholly owned by the Scottish Ministers, including Inverness, Wick, Stornoway, Kirkwall, etc.

[KARL]

Other private companies are involved at least in the ones listed by mushroom25 as majority local authority owned. For example, I think I am right in saying Bechtel (american - strong links to US Republican Fat Cats and current White House) has a substantial stake in Luton.

[mushroom25]

At Luton, Bechtel are minority shareholders (28%) in the company that manages & develops the airport - but ownership is still majority local authority.

Also:
Norwich airport is owned by Omniport
Prestwick is owned by Infratil
