After Being Chosen to Govern Alongside President Lula, the New Minister of Ports and Airports, Márcio França, Stated He Will Discuss with the New President the Situation of the Airports Recently Returned to the Federal Government. For Him, This Issue Is One of the Priorities for the Ministry in the New Federal Administration.

In this regard, the Minister of Ports and Airports Stated That “The Priority Is to Manage the Situation of the Airports That Are Being Returned. Because the Companies That Won the Concessions Do Not Want to, and Then We Have a Problem Because Infraero Does Not Know How to Manage This Either.”

The Airports Returned from the Private Initiative Are Located in Strategic Cities for Brazilian Commercial Aviation, Such as the Galeão Airport in Rio de Janeiro, Previously Managed by the Changi Airport and Novonorm Consortium, and the Natal-São Gonçalo do Amarante (RN) Airport and the Viracopos Airport in Campinas (SP).

After Taking Office in the New Federal Government, the Minister of Ports and Airports, Márcio França, Pointed Out That He Wants to Strengthen Infraero, Which Previously Belonged to the Extinct Ministry of Infrastructure. With the New Administration, the State-Owned Company Will Be Managed by the Ministry of Ports and Airports. On the Other Hand, the Measure Aims to Adopt the “Regional Aviation Model” to Expand the Sector in Brazil.

In Statements, the Minister Spoke About the Model: “This Is a Format That We Will Encourage for President Lula to Agree with: That Regional Airports with Fewer Passengers, with Smaller Aircraft, Can Be a Great Solution to Facilitate National Integration. Today, We Are Bound to Companies Trying to Fill the Large Aircraft, and Naturally, That Has a Limit. That’s Why There Are Fewer Flights.”
