Aena secured the assisted sale auction for Rio de Janeiro/Galeão on March 30 with a BRL 2.9 billion bid, and the concession will run until May 2039, marking the exit of Infraero, which previously held 49% of the airport.
For the upcoming summer season the concessionaire expects to add frequencies at 30 destinations – 18 domestic and 12 international – including New York, Toronto, Montreal, Dallas, Paris, Miami, Frankfurt, Lisbon and Santiago de Chile, with domestic focus on João Pessoa, Manaus, São Luís, Porto Alegre, Fortaleza and Recife. Private projects include GOL’s new 56,000 m² hangar (investment over BRL 100 million and about 800 jobs) and Hire Capital’s 120,000 m² logistics warehouse (BRL 430 million and 1,200 jobs) plus an expansion of its HLOG2 centre to 40,000 m² (BRL 54 million and 200 jobs), totalling roughly BRL 1 billion and 3,860 jobs over three years.
