CABO VERDE.
On 18 July 2022, VINCI Airports signed a 40-year concession contract for the seven airports in the Cabo Verde archipel-ago: the international airports of Praia (the capital), Sal, São Vicente and Boa Vista, and three domestic airports. VINCI Airports will be responsible for financing, operating, maintaining, extending and upgrading the airports. Financial arrangements for the deal are expected to be finalised in the first half of 2023, when the new concession company will begin operating the airports.
BRAZIL.
At the beginning of 2022, VINCI Airports took over operations at Manaus airport, Brazil’s third-largest freight hub, and six other airports in the north-west of the country, under a concession contract won in 2021. As gateways to Amazonas and neighbouring states, these airports play a crucial role in connectivity and economic and social development of this vast territory. VINCI Airports will be carrying out modernisation works under the 30-year contract.

SWEDEN.
In May 2022, VINCI Airports sold its 90.1% stake in the capital of Stockholm Skavsta airport to the Swedish real estate group Arlandastad AB. The new owner intends to develop the 484 hectares of airport land by building a logistics hub and a business park on the site. In this context, VINCI Airports and the Swedish group have signed an agreement under which SunMind – a VINCI Concessions subsidiary – will develop, finance, build and maintain a solar farm with a capacity of 100 MWp.
With signature of the concession contract for the Cabo Verde airports, VINCI Airports launches operations set to last for the next 40 years in this new country.
210m passengers were welcomed in the 65 airports managed by VINCI Airports in 2022 (including the OMA airports that joined the network on 8 December 2022).
