Project description
VINCI Airports has signed a 40-year concession contract with the Government of Cape Verde for the operation of seven airports in the country:
- four international airports: Praia, Sal, São Vicente and Boa Vista,
- three domestic airports: São Nicolau, São Filipe and Maio.
VINCI Airports together with its Portuguese subsidiary ANA will be in charge of operations, maintenance, financing, expansion and modernisation of the airports. VINCI Airports also intends to execute its environmental action plan, which includes the generation of solar and wind power.
The concession contract was signed in July 2022. Financial close was reached in July 2023 with a group of DFI including IFC, Proparco and DEG. The concessionaire secured a EUR 60m Sustainbility-Linked Financing with a 20-year tenor. The sustainability objectives are based on a commitment to progressively reduce carbon emission on the airports and to meet the Airport Carbon Accreditation.
