empresa brasileira de infraestrutura aeroportuária (abr.infraero) is a brazilian government corporation founded in 1973, authorized by law 5,862, being responsible for operating the main brazilian commercial airports.in 2011 infraero's airports carried 179,482,228 passengers, 1,464,484 tons of cargo, and operated 2,893,631 take-offs and landings.presently it manages 45 airports.the company is present all over brazil and employs approximately 23,000 employees and subcontracted workers nationwide.it is headquartered in the infraero building, in brasília, federal district.the brazilian airport infrastructure, which may match to the international standards, is being updated to meet the next years demand.the works are performed with the company's own revenue, mainly generated by the air cargo storage and custom duty, granting of commercial areas in the airports, boarding, landing and stay tariffs, and rendering of communication and air navigation auxiliary services.on 9 october 2009, it was announced that infraero will invest in airports abroad: infraero was invited by the government of paraguay to administer silvio pettirossi international airport in asunción and invited to participate in the privatization of ruzyně airport in prague, czech republic, among other investments.on march 4, 2010, the government of brazil announced that it would adopt the model of concession to airports.for this reason infraero would become a concessionary rather than an administrator of the airports that it currently operates.the main consequence is the fact that infraero will be able to open its capital and obtain resources necessary for infra-structure investments.another consequence is that municipal or state governments would have it easier to change concessionaries, such as the intention announced on 28 august 2009 by rosinha matheus, the mayor of campos dos goytacazes, who requested infraero the transfer of the administration of bartolomeu lysandro airport to the municipality.the minister of defense, to whom infraero was subordinate (currently it belongs to civil aviation secretary), announced being in favor of the transfer.listed airports included são paulo/guarulhos – governador andré franco montoro international airport, brasília – presidente juscelino kubitschek international airport, campinas – viracopos international airport, and later belo horizonte – tancredo neves international airport and rio de janeiro – galeão/antonio carlos jobim international airport.the plan was confirmed on may 31, 2011, and it was added that infraero would retain 49% of the shares of each privatized airport.the concession program was divided into phases, each with its own public bidding.the first phase was related to gov.aluízio alves international airport in natal.on august 22, 2011, its concession was won by the consortium inframérica, formed by the brazilian engineering group engevix (50%) and the argentinean group corporación américa (50%), which operates 52 airports in seven countries.after the signature of the contract of concession, inframérica consortium was authorized to commercially explore the facility for 25 years (with one possible five-year extension).as part of the concession agreement infraero holds no shares participation in this facility.the second phase was related to an auction that took place on february 6, 2012.in it consortium inframérica won the concession of brasília – presidente juscelino kubitschek international airport, which will be explored for a period of 25 years.on the same auction, consortium invepar-acsa composed by the brazilian investments and funds society invepar (90%) and the south african airport operator acsa (10%) won the concession for são paulo/guarulhos – governador andré franco montoro international airport and was authorized to explore the facility for 20 years.lastly, on the same day, consortium aeroportos brasil composed by the brazilian investments and funds society triunfo (45%), the engineering and investments society participações (45%), and the french airport operator egis avia (10%) won the concession for campinas – viracopos international airport, to be explored for 30 years.the third phase took place on november 22, 2013, when the brazilian government had a bidding process for:  the operation of rio de janeiro–galeão international airport from 2014 until 2039 was won by the group aeroporto rio de janeiro formed by the brazilian conglomerate odebrecht (60%) and changi airport group (40%) paid brl 19 billion and won the concession.
