Brazil auctioned 30-year concessions for 15 airports on August 18 at the B3 stock exchange, including the three most vital to business aviation in the country’s two largest cities. One group of concessions featured Congonhas, where airlines vie for the country’s most profitable slots but which is also home to business aviation operations, hangars, and maintenance facilities. Others were Rio and São Paulo’s general aviation airports, Campo de Marte and Jacarepaguá respectively. The last group—the northern block—included Belém and Macapá airports, both near the mouth of the Amazon, and these attracted the only competitive bids.
