Airports

The concession program for federal airports began in 2011, with the airport of São Gonçalo do Amarante, in the state of Rio Grande do Norte. In February 2012, the federal government held a new round of concessions, covering the airports of Brasilia, Guarulhos and Campinas, the latter two in the state of Sao Paulo. In December of that same year, the federal government launched the PIL - Airports Program, aiming to improve the quality of airport services and infrastructure, and to expand the air transportation services for the Brazilian population. The program included the concession of the Galeao (RJ) and Confins (MG) airports and the program for investment in regional airports.

The total estimated investment is R$ 7.2 billion, for Porto Alegre (R$ 1.7 billion), Salvador (R$ 2.8 billion), Florianopolis (R$ 0.9 billion) and Fortaleza (R$ 1.8 billion). Auctions are scheduled for the first half of 2016 (link: http://www.aviacaocivil.gov.br/assuntos/concessoes-de-aeroportos/novas-concessoes).
