    MEXICO CITY, Jan 15 (Reuters) - Mexico's Grupo Aeroportuario 
Centro Norte (OMA) OMAB.MX  said on Friday that Banco 
Santander's Mexico unit  SANMEXB.MX  had sold 0.9 percent of 
shares in the company, which caused the trading volume to exceed 
normal ranges on the Mexican stock exchange. 
    OMA said Santander sold 3.7 million "series B" shares, which 
were part of an equity swap with Aeroinvest, a subsidiary of ICA 
 ICA.MX , Mexico's largest construction company which is in 
default on debt payments. 
    Santander last week sold 27.8 million shares of OMA as part 
of the same equity swap on behalf of Aeroinvest.  urn:newsml:reuters.com:*:nL1N14S2H3
