Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport in Santiago, Chile has been operated since October 2015 by the Nuevo Pudahuel consortium formed by VINCI Airports (40%), Aéroports de Paris (45%) and the Italian construction group Astaldi (15%). The 20-year contract proposed an ambitious programme of development work designed to double the capacity of the infrastructure in response to the impressive potential for growth in air traffic.
At the beginning of 2022, the work was delivered and the new 248,400 m² terminal was inaugurated, making Santiago de Chile airport an international hub, the most modern in South America. With the extension of the existing terminal, now reassigned to domestic traffic, the airport’s capacity more than doubles, going from 16 to 38 million passengers a year.
Prime contractor services: a key factor for success in Chile
In December 2015, the concessionaire company formed by ORIX and VINCI Airports has signed a 44-year concession contract with the New Kansai International Airport Company (“NKIAC”) for the operation of Kansai and Osaka international airports.

This good momentum, despite amore difficult regional business environment at the end of the year, reflects the application of VINCI Airports' traffic expansion expertise: in 2019, the Kansai airports welcomed more than 50 million passengers and opened 22 new routes to China.
