Aena will be required to pay a variable fee with a grace period of four years, which includes a percentage of gross revenue that will increase to 16.15% from 3.23% annually.

The airport operator said that the planned investments would be nearly R$5bn (€960m).

This concession is said to be the largest international operation in the history of Aena, which has completely managed another six airports in the country’s northeast region since 2020 under the Northeast Brazil Airport Group.

Aena chairman and CEO Maurici Lucena said: “The company’s priority is always to create value for its public and private shareholders and employees.

“Despite the hard times we have been through due to Covid-19, we are convinced that Aena’s internationalisation is a guarantee for the future of the company.”
