He said it represented the achievement of a major strategic ambition for MAG.
Christian Seymour, head of infrastructure, Europe, at IFM added: "It is a landmark acquisition for IFM, deepening our footprint in the UK, and is the culmination of 18 months' work developing a strong, long term partnership with MAG.
"We look forward to bringing our significant international expertise in the airport sector to the benefit of the group."
The funds for the acquisition came from new equity raised from IFM, together with investment grade financing.
All the existing shareholders' equity has been maintained in the group.
Sir Richard Leese, chairman of MAG and leader of Manchester City Council, said a larger, stronger MAG will benefit the whole region.
