According to the contract, VINCI Airports will be responsible for ensuring the operations, maintenance and modernisation of terminals and runways, as well as the transformation of these airports into eco-efficient infrastructures.

It includes the installation of a photovoltaic park, waste and water management facilities, the establishment of biodiversity laboratories and carbon sink projects with local non-government organisations (NGOs).

For this, the company will build on the environmental policy deployed successfully at Salvador Bahia airport (SSA) in north-east Brazil since 2018.

Additionally, VINCI Airports will work to support the post-pandemic economic recovery in Brazil by helping to boost passenger traffic and cargo activity in Manaus, which is claimed to be the third-largest cargo airport in Brazil.
