For several years now, the Brazilian government has been privatizing its airports. This trend accelerated in 2012 with the concessioning of several major airports: São Paulo, Brasilia, Rio de Janeiro…
A new wave of privatizations was launched in 2018, with a call for concessions for 3 airport groups. Vinci Airports has declared itself a candidate for the concession of two of these groups, for a period of 30 years.
The first group includes airports in the Nordeste region: Recife (7.8 Mpax in 2017), Maceió (2.1 Mpax), João Pessoa (1.4 Mpax), Aracaju (1.2 Mpax), Juazeiro do Norte (542,000 pax) and Campina Grande (150,000 pax).
The second group includes airports in the state of Mato Grosso: Cuiabá (2.9 Mpax in 2017), Sinop (225,000 pax), Alta Floresta (65,000 pax) and Rondonópolis (40,000 pax).
Setec has been selected by Vinci Airports to act as technical consultant for the concession bid, to be submitted in March 2019.
