VINCI Airports wins the concession of
Manaus airport and 6 other airports in Brazil
-
Seven airports which welcomed almost 4.7 million passengers in
2019, including 3 million at Manaus international airport
-
Crucial mobility and connectivity infrastructures for the
country
-
Strong environmental agenda
On completion of a call for tenders initiated by
ANAC (Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil), VINCI Airports was today
awarded a 30-year concession for seven airports of the North region
of Brazil: Manaus, Porto Velho, Rio Branco, Boa Vista, Cruzeiro do
Sul, Tabatinga and Téfé.
Gateway to the Amazon region and neighbouring
Brazilian states, these airports welcomed 4.7 million passengers in
2019. They are essential for opening up a vast region of 3.8
million km2.
In addition to ensuring the operations,
maintenance and modernization of terminals and runways,
VINCI Airports will also transform these airports into
eco-efficient infrastructures:
- net-zero emissions goal,
- set-up of photovoltaic farms,
- waste and water management,
- establishment of biodiversity laboratories,
- carbon sinks projects with local NGOs.
To do this, VINCI Airports will build on the
successful environmental policy it has been successfully
implementing since 2018 at Salvador Bahia airport in North East
Brazil.
VINCI Airports also intends to support Brazil’s
post-pandemic economic recovery, by developing the passenger
traffic and the cargo activity at Manaus, 3rd largest cargo airport
in Brazil. Pillar of the economic and community development of the
Amazon region, Manaus plays a key role in the country’s economy, in
particular for the high growth electronics industry.
VINCI Airports, whose global network is thus
extended to 52 platforms, strengthens its presence in lusophone
countries and Latin America, where it will manage a total of 16
airports in Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica and the Dominican
Republic.
“Our roadmap is clear: green airports for green
growth. In this remote region where air transport is essential,
VINCI Airports will make these airports more resilient, and
eco-efficient, in order to sustain economic recovery in Brazil,
while preserving the planet. We are eager to start operations,
together with Brazilian authorities and local communities”,
declared Nicolas Notebaert, CEO of VINCI Concessions and President
of VINCI Airports.
