📋 Tender Overview
The Ministry of Ports and Airports has launched Investe + Aeroportos, a program that aims to transform terminals granted to private initiative into business centers, expanding revenues beyond the air sector. The proposal is to attract ventures such as malls, hospitals, schools, logistics centers, hotels and show houses, integrating airports with local economies.
The Minister of Ports and Airports, Silvio Costa Filho, highlighted the strategic role of the initiative. Investe + airports reinforces our view of turning terminals into real regional development centers. We want airports to be not only passenger and cargo entry doors, but also employment generation engines, income and opportunities for the population, attracting new business and strengthening the local economy.
The first measure of the program is the update of Minfra Ordinance No. 93/2020, which regulates contracts for assignment of areas. The review expands normative clarity, simplifies processes and strengthens legal certainty by ensuring that, at the end of the concession, contracts entered into are transferred to the future operator, ensuring sufficient time to amortization of investments.
News include longer deadlines for recent concessions, stimulating commercial exploitation of airport sites, updating minimum investment parameters and higher regulatory protection for different business modalities.
Between 2023 and 2025, 19 projects were approved, which totaled R 4.5 billion in investments. Projects include logistics centers, aeronautical maintenance workshops and rooms and VIP terminals, demonstrating the diversity of possible business in the airport environment.
In the evaluation of the National Secretary of Civil Aviation, Daniel Longo, the program represents a quality leap in the management of the sector. Unlike other transport sectors, the economic viability of airport concessions depends largely on the generation of business revenues. By expanding the flexibility to enter into long -term contracts, we are creating the conditions for airports to stop being just running and taking places and consolidate as the economys dynamic centers in Brazil, he said
For the CEO of Apr Aeroportos do Brasil, Fabio Rogerio Carvalho, the program reinforces the relevance of the private sector in the transformation of national aviation. All 13 dealers are here, representing 59 airports granted, which concentrate 93% of passengers and 99% of the busy load in the country. This shows the importance of the program and proves how well this public policy will work and will still work out. Only airport activity has already responded for 411,000 jobs and more than 5 billion in taxes. Investments, more jobs and more economic development for the country, he concluded.
