📋 Tender Overview
The Ministry of Ports and Airports (MPor) opened, this Monday (10), a new public consultation on the draft ordinance that intends to extend the Investe+ Aeroportos program to state and municipal airports. The proposal, prepared by the National Civil Aviation Secretariat (SAC), aims to create conditions so that these terminals can also sign long-term commercial exploration contracts, attracting private investments and increasing the generation of non-tariff revenue.
The new ordinance seeks to correct a regulatory gap that prevented airports delegated to states and municipalities from entering into commercial contracts with terms longer than the concession period. Currently, only terminals granted by the Union have this type of authorization, which limits the economic development potential of regional airports.
With the change, these terminals will be able to sign commercial exploration contracts that exceed the concession period, as long as they are authorized by MPor, allowing the attraction of long-term private ventures, such as logistics centers, hotels, parking lots, hangars and commercial spaces. The measure offers more legal certainty to operators and investors, stimulating new business and boosting regional aviation.
The public consultation will remain open until November 30, 2025, and interested parties can participate and send contributions through .
Regional aviation
According to data from the Horus System, from the National Civil Aviation Secretariat, Brazil currently has 68 aerodromes under delegation from states and municipalities, which handled almost 7 million passengers in 2024. Between January and September 2025 alone, the volume already exceeds 5.3 million passengers, demonstrating the growth and relevance of these terminals for connectivity and regional development.
These numbers reinforce the strategic role of the measure: attracting new investments, strengthening the financial sustainability of local airports and ensuring that more Brazilians have access to aviation as a fast, safe and efficient means of transport.
For the national secretary of Civil Aviation, Daniel Longo, the proposal consolidates the regulatory modernization work carried out by MPor. With this ordinance, Investe+ Aeroportos will also reach airports under state and municipal management, expanding the capacity to attract private investments and guaranteeing legal security for new ventures, highlighted the secretary.
The proposed ordinance was prepared by SAC, through the Department of Grants, Heritage and Airport Regulatory Policies (DOPR), and represents another stage in improving the public policy that has been conducted by the Investe+ Aeroportos program.
