Vinci Airports has taken over the operation of Manaus airport on January 12, 2022, under a 30-year concession contract awarded by Brazilian civil aviation in April 2021. Six other airports in the region such as Porto Velho, Rio Branco, Boa Vista, Cruzeiro do Sul, Tabatinga and Tefé, will join Vinci Airports’ portfolio in February 2022. In total, these seven airports welcomed 4.7 million passengers in 2019.

Manaus airport is the third cargo airport in Brazil and it acts as a pillar of the economic and social development of the Brazilian state Amazon. The airport operations will have the objective to reduce the CO₂ emissions of airports through the construction of a solar farm and to improve their water and waste management.
