The investment banking arms of Australia's Macquarie and the Royal Bank of Canada are advising the consortium that has struck a $2.8 billion deal to acquire London City Airport, amid talk of a bubble in UK infrastructure valuations.

Macquarie's own infrastructure fund had been in the running to buy the asset before dropping out of the race in December 2015.
