Empresa Brasileira de Infraestrutura Aeroportuária, Infraero in short, is a Brazilian government corporation founded in 1973, authorized by Law 5,862,[1][2] being responsible for operating the main Brazilian commercial airports. In 2011 Infraero's airports carried 179,482,228 passengers and 1,464,484 tons of cargo and operated 2,893,631 take-offs and landings.[3] It manages 63 airports, which represent 97% of the regular air carriage activity in Brazil, 81 Air Navigation Stations and 32 Cargo Logistics Terminals. Present all over Brazil the company employs approximately 23 thousand effective and subcontracted workers, nationwide.[citation needed] It is headquartered in the Infraero Building in Brasília, Federal District.[4]
Investments
The company implements a workplan which covers practically all airports managed by it and which generates over 50 thousand jobs all over Brazil. The Brazilian airport infrastructure, which may match to the international standards, is being updated to meet the next years demand.
The works are performed with the company's own revenue, mainly generated by the air cargo storage and custom duty, granting of commercial areas in the airports, boarding, landing and stay tariffs, and rendering of communication and air navigation auxiliary services.
On 9 October 2009, it was announced that Infraero will invest in airports abroad: Infraero was invited by the Government of Paraguay to administer Silvio Pettirossi International Airport in Asunción and invited to participate in the privatization of Ruzyně Airport in Prague, Czech Republic, among other investments.[5]
On March 4, 2010, the Federal Government of Brazil announced that it would adopt the model of concession to airports. For this reason Infraero would become a concessionary rather than an administrator of the airports that it currently operates. The main consequence is the fact that Infraero will be able to open its capital and obtain resources necessary for infra-structure investments.[6] Another consequence is that municipal or state governments would have it easier to change concessionaries, such as the intention announced on 28 August 2009 by Rosinha Matheus, the Mayor of Campos dos Goytacazes, who requested Infraero the transfer of the administration of Bartolomeu Lysandro Airport to the Municipality. The Minister of Defense, to whom Infraero was subordinate (currently it belongs to Civil Aviation Secretary), announced being in favor of the transfer.[7]
Concessions
On April 26, 2011 it was confirmed that in order to speed-up much needed renovation and up-grade works, private companies would be granted a concession to commercially explore some Infraero airports in exchange for the implementation of those works. Listed airports include São Paulo/Guarulhos – Governador André Franco Montoro International Airport, Brasília – Presidente Juscelino Kubitschek International Airport, Campinas – Viracopos International Airport, and later Belo Horizonte – Tancredo Neves International Airport and Rio de Janeiro – Galeão/Antonio Carlos Jobim International Airport.[8] The plan was confirmed on May 31, 2011 and it was added that Infraero would retain 49% of the shares of each privatized airport and that negotiations are expected to be concluded on the first half of 2012.[9]
The first concessionary airport is Gov. Aluízio Alves International Airport in Natal.[10] On August 22, 2011 its concession was won by the Consortium Inframérica, formed by the Brazilian Engineering Group Engevix (50%) and the Argentinean Group Corporación América (50%), which already operates airports in Argentina (35), Armenia (1), Ecuador (2), Italy (1), Peru (5), and Uruguay (2).[11] After the signature of the contract of concession, Inframérica Consortium was authorized to commercially explore the facility for 25 years (with one possible 5-year extension). This facility is the only airport in the concessions program in which Infraero will hold no participation.
On an auction that took place on February 6, 2012, the same Consortium Inframérica won the concession of Brasília – Presidente Juscelino Kubitschek International Airport, which will be explored for a period of 25 years;[12]
Also during the same auction the Consortium Invepar-ACSA composed by the Brazilian Invepar, an Investments and Funds Society (90%) and the South African ACSA – Airports Company South Africa (10%) won the concession for São Paulo/Guarulhos – Governador André Franco Montoro International Airport and is authorized to explore the facility for 20 years. ACSA operates airports in South Africa.[12]
Lastly, on the same day, The Consortium Aeroportos Brasil composed by the Brazilian Triunfo, an Investments and Funds Society (45%) and UTC Engenharia e Participações, an Engineering and Investments Society (45%), and the French Egis Avia (10%) won the concession for Campinas – Viracopos International Airport, to be explored for 30 years.[12] Infraero, will remain with 49% of the shares of the company incorporated for the administration.[13][14]
On November 22, 2013 the Brazilian Government had a bidding process to determine the operator of Rio de Janeiro-Galeão International Airport from 2014 until 2039. The Group Aeroporto Rio de Janeiro formed by Grupo Odebrecht (60%) and Changi Airport Group (40%) paid BRL 19 billion and won the competition.[15][16] The contract was signed on April 2, 2014.[17][18]
Also on November 22, 2013 the Brazilian Government had a second bidding process to determine the operator of Belo Horizonte-Tancredo Neves International Airport from 2014 until 2044. The group BH Airport formed by CCR (75%) and the administrator of Munich and Zurich Airports (25%) won the competition.[19][20]

Other Brazilian Airports
Many Brazilian airports are not operated by Infraero. They are mostly civil facilities of relative importance and are under government (public) responsibility. In those cases Infraero does not exert any power. They can be operated by:
- Organizations directly related to State administration, such as in:
- Transportation Secretariats or semi-independent public organizations related to Municipal administration, with the support of State administration, such as in:
- Private concessionaries from Municipalities, as in the case of Cabo Frio International Airport;
- Private initiative, as in the case of Ipatinga – Usiminas Airport.
Furthermore, Infraero does not have any control or responsibility over Brazilian military bases which are entirely operated by the Air Force or Navy Commands of the Brazilian Ministry of Defense. One of those Air Force Bases has a civilian terminal with scheduled operations:
