The request is being handled by the state Department of Transport and Public Works (SETOP).The project is expected to involve the development, operation and maintenance of the airport link for a period of 35 years.

Belo Horizonte has several PPP projects in planning stage. On 5 February 2013, a public hearing was held to make public the bidding process for the northern stretch of Belo Horizonte ring road through a PPP.
On 20 February 2014, the state of Minas Gerais, through the Department of Economic Development, launched the public consultation for a convention centre PPP project to be located in Belo Horizonte.
