CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE
A WORLD-CLASS AIRPORT OPERATOR
ACQUISITION OF THE 10 MAIN AIRPORTS IN PORTUGAL, START OF THE PROJECT AIMED AT DOUBLING THE CAPACITY OF THE CAMBODIAN AIRPORTS, STRONG TRAFFIC GROWTH… NICOLAS NOTEBAERT, CHAIRMAN OF VINCI AIRPORTS, LOOKS BACK AT THE RECENT DEVELOPMENTS THAT HAVE EARNED RECOGNITION FOR VINCI AIRPORTS’ CONCESSION MODEL.
IN A NUTSHELL, HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE VINCI AIRPORTS? VINCI Airports is a “private partner for public benefit” In the airport sector, this in itself sets it apart. It means that a contracting authority—a country or a region – entrusts to us the management and operation of a crucially important facility—an airport—for a period of several decades. An airport is not just technical infrastructure, as our signature, “Opening Your World,” indicates. It is also, and above all, an asset that enhances the country’s or the region’s attractiveness, drives its economic development and serves the population as their gateway to the world. It is also an emblematic place for a country or a city, as the point of entry for business travelers and tourists that boosts the country’s or city’s reputation and offers visitors a warm welcome. If we had not understood and taken into account these goals, we wouldn’t be managing 23 airports now, and two sovereign countries—Cambodia and Portugal— would not have entrusted their airports to us.
