Mexican airport operator Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste has filed for the sale of the stake owned by Australian airport operator MAp Airports International, Reuters reported.

ASUR, as the company is known, said about 43.6 million of its series B shares are expected to be offered for sale in the secondary offering, according to a statement filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.

The proposed sale, including over-allotments, would represent about 16 percent of its total equity, ASUR said.
