The Spanish airport operator Aena has secured the rights to manage Rio de Janeiro’s Galeao airport, a move that establishes the company as the largest airport operator in Brazil. The company, based in Spain, submitted a winning bid of 2.9 billion reais ($552.3 million) during a concession auction held on Monday. This agreement grants Aena full control of the international hub until 2039, with an option for a five-year extension. Following this acquisition, Aena will oversee approximately 28% of the total passenger traffic in the South American nation.
