To come into effect from 1 October, the concession contract includes the design and construction of a new terminal with 37 aircraft stands. This will increase the airport’s capacity to 30 million passengers, with the potential for expansion beyond 45 million in the future.

"This project, which is consistent with our international strategy, will allow Aéroports de Paris to make full use of its expertise as a major airport operator and its engineering know-how."

The contract will also require the consortium to renovate the existing installations with the redesign and extension of the current terminal.

Aéroports de Paris chairman and CEO Augustin de Romanet said: "The acquisition of this concession rewards the close collaboration between the teams from Aéroports de Paris, particularly our Aéroports de Paris Management and ADP Ingénierie subsidiaries, and our partners VINCI Airports and Alstadi. Santiago de Chile ranks among Latin America’s most dynamic regional hubs, with average annual growth in passenger traffic of more than 10% over the past 20 years.

"This airport offers strong potential for growth and the creation of new routes that will enable it to become one of the main entry points to Latin America from Europe, the US and soon, from Asia.

"This project, which is consistent with our international strategy, will allow Aéroports de Paris to make full use of its expertise as a major airport operator and its engineering know-how."
