REPAYING THE CONFIDENCE OF THE CONTRACTING AUTHORITY
The Portuguese government initiated the privatization of the country’s main airports in 2012. The process was completed on September 17, 2013 when VINCI Airports acquired ANA, the company that operates all 10 airports. In a demonstration of its confidence in our sound business model, the Portuguese government awarded a 50-year concession contract to VINCI Airports, placing us among the world’s leading airport operators serving more than 40 million passengers per year. ANA is made up of a network of 10 airports in mainland Portugal (Lisbon, Porto, Faro, Beja), the Azores (Ponta Delgada, Horta, Flores and Santa Maria), and Madeira (Funchal and Porto Santo). Together they recorded 5% traffic growth in 2013 and handled 32 million passengers, over half of them at the Lisbon airport. Lisbon, like the other ANA airports, is benefiting from the very strong growth of tourism in the country and the presence of over 5 million Portuguese citizens living abroad. To continue its expansion as the Portuguese economy returns to growth, ANA has drawn up a new strategic plan. It is focused on revenue and traffic growth and includes the opening of a large number of new routes and renewal of the customer service offering, which has already been initiated in Lisbon. In July 2013, the airport opened a new 2,000 sq. meter retail area, which constitutes a vibrant public space within the departure area. Last but not least, the Madeira airport welcomed more than 200 delegates from the airport and aviation sector to the seventh European Regional Airport Conference from May 12 to 14. This was the first time the event had been held at a Portuguese airport, and the first time it had taken place at an airport managed by VINCI Airports.
