She said the Infratil board had been considering its options, one of which was to seek commercial discussions with a view to public sector ownership and the other being to close the airport.

If they closed the airport they should do a compulsory purchase order on the place and reopen it.

It would never close.
They want to sell it for money, not suffer the costs of shutting it down.
They probably just mentioned the posibility to get the governments attention (and maybe to get them to part with a bit more cash for it.)

Yes but the thing about fire sales is to never get bounced into paying more than you have to, especially if public money was involved.
