Time is running out on Brazil’s bid to privatise its airports successfully

10-Nov-11 4:22 PM

Brazil hosts the World Cup in 2014 and the Summer Olympics in 2016 but is struggling to update its airports and add capacity in time. In 2010, the government announced that rather than rely on state airports agency Infraero to undertake the necessary work, it would seek concessions contracts from private-sector companies to expand and modernise some of the country's airports.

Traditionally, Infraero, which used to be a branch of the military, has had responsibility for almost all Brazil’s airports but ANAC, the recently-formed Civil Aviation Authority, took charge of the proposals, calling at first (in Jun-2010 and after an exasperating 1H2010 for potential investors) for proposals to develop a new USD575 million airport at Sao Goncalo do Amarante in Natal, in the state of Rio Grande do Norte.

Brazilian infrastructure lags behind boom; airports to reach capacity before World Cup

2-Dec-10 3:41 PM

The inadequate state of Brazil’s airport infrastructure has been highlighted this month at the Brazil Investment Summit and the Latin American and Caribbean Air Transport Association (ALTA). GOL Airlines CEO Constantino de Oliveira Jr warned that Brazil’s airport infrastructure is lagging behind the nation’s fast-growing and emerging aviation industry while IATA labelled Brazil’s air transport infrastructure as a “growing disaster”.

Hard to keep up with Latin American changes, next consolidation wave on the way

25-Nov-10 4:05 PM

While 2009 was a hot year for the Latin American market, 2010 has followed suit with more acquisitions, partnerships and mergers as airline holding companies and alliances jockey for position to become the 900-pound gorillas on the continent. It is unlikely the pace will stop any time soon. Watch for more consolidation along the Brazil-Colombia-Mexico axis.

Brazil’s aviation infrastructure scramble

6-Sep-10 4:51 PM

Brazil is due to host two of the world’s largest sporting events over the next six years. The traffic surges forecast for the 2014 FIFA World Cup and then for the 2016 Olympic Games, as well as the anticipated post-event increases in international tourism, will present major challenges for all segments of the Brazilian aviation industry.

Airline alliances in Latin America provoking major changes. How TAM helps Star

25-Feb-10 8:50 AM

Despite strong growth in several markets, Latin America’s aviation scene is in flux—perhaps more so than any other geographic region on the globe. Political and economic instability have been rampant across the region and continue to be a part of the 21st century landscape. The latest difficulties have been manifest as political unrest in Venezuela and continuing economic turmoil in Argentina, to name just two.

GOL's dismal traffic prompts slower capacity growth forecasts

13-Nov-08 10:25 AM

GOL forecasts consolidated capacity (ASKs) growth will fall 2.0% year-on-year in 2009 from estimated 2008 levels, with capacity on domestic services increasing 4.6% year-on-year and international capacity down 26.1%, in line with the carrier’s revised network strategy.
