Colombian Airport Concession Bidding Due To Close

The bidding for the concession to run two airports on Colombia’s Caribbean islands of San Andrés and Providencia are due to close today, August 3. Six groups of companies have bought the bidding documents: Corporación América, Estudios Técnicos Universal, Odinsa, Ramón Pereira Visbal, Stratis and Valores y Construcciones. The concession contract is set to be for 20 years and foresees investment of around $19 million in the first few years. Last month, five groups of companies presented bids for the concession to run the Bogotá’s El Dorado international airport. These included three of the companies hoping to bid for the Caribbean airports: Corporación América, Stratis, and Odinsa. The concession for El Dorado is due to be awarded by the end of this month.
