Mr. Martín Eurnekian, CEO of Corporación America Airports, noted: “I am pleased to announce the extension for an additional twenty years of the Carrasco International Airport concession in Uruguay, which is a strategic infrastructure asset in the country that we have been successfully operating since 2003, providing a gateway from the country’s capital to the world. I am also excited for the six additional airports that we are bringing into the concession, reinforcing our leadership position in the country’s airport network. This is a significant milestone for our Company that strengthens long-term sustainable growth in Uruguay. The additional investments we have agreed to undertake will enable us to continue expanding and enhancing infrastructure in the country, including airport security, safety as well as the overall passenger experience, as we have done over the past 18 years.”
