VINCI Airports takes over the operation
of Manaus International Airport (Brazil)
- An airport that welcomed 3 million passengers in
2019
- Essential infrastructure for mobility, connectivity and
economic and social development in the Amazon
- Deployment of VINCI's environmental action
plan
VINCI Airports has taken over the operation of
Manaus airport today, under a 30-year concession contract awarded
by Brazilian civil aviation in April. The effective cooperation
between VINCI Airports and Infraero - a public airport
infrastructure company - has enabled a smooth transition. Six other
airports in the region - Porto Velho, Rio Branco, Boa Vista,
Cruzeiro do Sul, Tabatinga and Tefé - will join VINCI Airports’
portfolio in February 2022. In total, these seven airports welcomed
7 million passengers in 2019.
Third cargo airport in Brazil, Manaus airport is
a pillar of the economic and social development of the Amazon.
VINCI Airports will work to develop the cargo activity of this
platform by optimizing its operation.
Building on the good environmental performance
of Salvador airport - which has become "the most sustainable
airport"1 in Brazil since it took over operations in 2018 - VINCI
Airports will also deploy its environmental action plan in the
Amazon. The objective is to reduce the CO2 emissions of airports -
notably through the construction of a solar farm - and to improve
their water and waste management. Finally, a forest carbon sink
program will be implemented there, to sequester their residual CO2
emissions, while helping to protect the Amazon rainforest and
biodiversity.
Following the integration of Manaus airport and
the six other airports in the region, VINCI Airports will operate
53 airports around the world, including 8 airports in Brazil. It
thus becomes the country's leading international airport
concessionaire in terms of the number of airports managed and
employs nearly 500 people in the country.
Nicolas Notebaert, CEO of VINCI Concessions and
President of VINCI Airports, declared: “VINCI Airports is proud to
be the new operator of Manaus airport and six other new airports in
the northern block. In this region of Brazil, largely made up of
forests and rivers, air transport is essential for the mobility of
people and the supply chain. We will mobilize our expertise from an
operational and environmental standpoint, with a view to
sustainable development. We are renewing our partnership with
Brazil to make this concession a new success, building on the very
positive results we have obtained in Salvador de Bahia”.
