Valuating a not-for-profit airport subject to privatization. How should I approach this?

Hello,

I am assigned with valuating a state-owned (not for profit) airport that the government is contemplating privatizing. The airport has its financial statements up for the public.

I have already built an FCFF model, my questions are the following:

  • What discount rate to use? note that the airport is 100% debt financed
  • How should I approach relative valuation? There are no similar publicly traded airports to compare it with, i.e. I don’t have the value of similar airports.

Thank you.
