- In Mexico, where VINCI Airports become the lead shareholder in OMA, the concession company operating 13 airports in central and northern Mexico, in 2022, VINCI Airports has launched the first phase of works to extend the terminal of the international airport in Monterrey. This programme, involving an investment of €400 million over five years, will increase the airport’s capacity by 50%, allowing it to handle 18 million passengers and strengthening its position in the Mexican airport sector.
- In the Dominican Republic, where VINCI Airports was granted a 30-year extension until 2060 of its concession contract at end-2023, the new terminal project has been launched at the international airport of Las Américas in Santo Domingo, with the aim of expanding its capacity to over 4 million passengers. The investment amounts to €230 million and works are set to start in 2025.
- In Cabo Verde, where VINCI Airports took over operation of the country’s seven airports in 2023 under a 40-year concession contract, a first series of compliance upgrade works was launched to improve the airports’ operational and environmental management, including, in particular, installation of solar power plants on the Boa Vista and Sal island airports.
Operational performance and service quality
Through its proactive policy towards airline companies, VINCI Airports has helped them create new routes that contribute to economic and tourism development of the regions served by the airports. The network’s international coverage and the operational synergies within the division foster such initiatives. In 2024, for instance, new lines were opened between network airports: Budapest – Lyon Saint Exupéry (with easyJet), Budapest–London Gatwick (TUI), London Gatwick–Madeira (British Airways), Edinburgh–Chambéry (Jet2), Porto–Lyon-Saint Exupéry (Volotea) and Santiago Chile–Salvador Bahia (Sky Airline). Connections with airports outside the network were also opened from London Gatwick to Beijing, Guangzhou (Air China) and Bangalore (Air India), between Salvador Bahia and Paris-Charles de Gaulle (Air France) , Kansai and Doha (Qatar Airways), Edinburgh and New York (JetBlue), Monterrey and Atlanta (Aeroméxico), and Santo Domingo and Philadelphia (Frontier Airlines).
