Aena has bidden BRL 2.45 billion for the most awaited block of the auction of the seventh round of the airport concessions program, which included among the assets the Congonhas airport in São Paulo, the second busiest one in the country. This meant a premium of 231.02 percent over the reference value established in the auction notice.

Aena already holds the concession for six airports in Northeastern Brazil, including Maceió and Recife. The concession will last 30 years.

The Spanish company has acquired the entire block in the states of São Paulo-Mato Grosso do Sul-Pará-Minas Gerais. There were no other bidders in the auction of this block.
