The Ministry of Infrastructure will hold the largest auction in the country this week, in terms of asset quantity. In total, there will be 28 auctions, divided into 22 airports, five port terminals, and the East-West Railway (FIOL). The Federal Government plans to raise R$ 10 billion with private investment and create more than 200,000 jobs.
Auctions for Ports, Airports, and the Federal Government’s Railway
According to the Director of Civil Aviation Ronei Glanzmann, the result of the auction for 22 airports could represent an investment of over R$ 6.1 billion. The auctions will be held on the 7th and will involve a long-term project with a concession of up to 30 years.
The auctions for the 22 airports will be divided into three blocks: South, North I, and Central. The total investment in these three blocks is over R$ 6 billion, with the South block being R$ 2.8 billion, the Central block R$ 1.8 billion, and the North block R$ 1.4 billion. In one day, the federal government will transfer the same number of airport terminals as the total number currently approved.
