Do any large, commercial airports exist that aren’t owned and run by the city government they exist in/near?

To provide context, I’m talking major airports that handle commercial airline volume. Do any (hub or regional) airports exist that are fully owned and operated by private companies vs government authorities? Or is this a total fallacy? I could understand companies big enough to have their own corporate fleet/airstrip, but I’m talking a full-scale airport with airlines the public can use.

London Heathrow (LHR) is owned by a private company, Heathrow Airport Holdings. I'm sure there are many other examples around the world.

  Pretty much every large European airport is owned and operated by a private company. What makes Heathrow Airport Holdings somewhat special is that the local government is not (or no longer) a shareholder. Paris Charles de Gaulle for example is operated by Groupe ADP, which is 50.6% state owned. Same is true for Amsterdam, Frankfurt and probably many others...

The major Australian airports were all privatized from the late 1990's. Smaller regional airports are still usually council-owned and operated.

  The Australian airport "privatisations" should stand as a warning to any jurisdictions hoping to solve short-term government financial problems by selling public assets, usually to favoured insiders. Our airports are now famous for monopolistic price-gouging on an extraordinary scale, while delivering substandard services to both airlines & the travelling public. The owners of YSSY have been quietly sabotaging the building of a non-curfew 2nd airport for nearly 15 years (their 1st CEO was the Prime Minister's ex Chief of Staff) , because they don't want to lose their monopoly.
