The National Civil Aviation Agency (Anac) approved, this Thursday (11), the notice for the assisted sale of Rio de Janeiro/Galeão International Airport. The document, which sets out the rules for renegotiating the concession contract for the largest airport terminal in Rio, must be published in the Official Gazette of the Union next Monday, (15). 
One of the central points of assisted sales is the implementation of a simplified competitive process, with a minimum bid of R$932 million. The auction is scheduled for March 30, 2026, in the B3 auditorium, in São Paulo.
The solution, validated by the Federal Audit Court (TCU), incorporates regulatory improvements and aims to ensure the sustainability of the concession until its final term, the operational continuity of services and the preservation of investments already made.
The Minister of Ports and Airports, Silvio Costa Filho, highlighted the growth in passengers at the airport.
“In just under two years, we reached 4.8 million passengers in 2023, and this year we will exceed 18 million.”
It is also planned to charge a variable contribution of 20% of the concessionaire’s gross revenue until 2039 and the establishment of the departure of the Brazilian Airport Infrastructure Company (Infraero) from the airport’s administration by March 2026.
