PROGRAMME MANAGEMENT
As part of its concession contracts, VINCI Airports invests in projects leveraging its expertise in programme management. Alongside works to modernise its airports, increase their capacity and improve service quality, it systematically develops solutions to reduce their environmental footprint.
In Latin America, inauguration of the new international terminal at Santiago airport in Chile marked completion of a huge renovation and extension project, which has turned the airport into South America’s most modern international hub. The works, covering an area of almost 400,000 sq. metres, were carried out by VINCI Construction as part of a joint venture. With restructuring in 2023 and 2024 of the existing terminal, now catering for domestic traffic, the airport’s capacity will be increased from 16 million to 38 million passengers. In the Dominican Republic, VINCI Airports completed transformation of the central atrium and outbound passenger pathway at the Las Américas airport in Santo Domingo, with new services and shops opened to enhance reception and passenger experience.
In Japan, VINCI Airports brought the new domestic area in terminal 1 into service at Kansai International, the first stage in remodelling the airport in the run-up to the Osaka World Expo in the spring of 2025.
The capacity of Santiago airport will more than double, from 16 million to 38 million passengers a year, after completion of extension works.
