(Reuters) - French infrastructure group Vinci said on Wednesday that its airports subsidiary has signed an agreement to buy a 50.01% stake in Edinburgh Airport for 1.27 billion pounds ($1.58 billion).

"The remaining 49.99% stake will be managed by Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP), which has owned the airport since 2012," Vinci said in a statement, adding that the transaction is expected to be completed during the summer of this year.
