Cointer, Grupo Azvi’s concessionaire company, together with its partner SACYR Concesiones, has just started the operation of Desierto de Atacama Airport as part of Chile’s Northern Airport Network.
This infrastructure joins others managed by Cointer, such as Presidente Carlos Ibáñez del Campo Airport and Balmaceda Aerodrome (both part of the Austral Network), as well as La Florida Airport in La Serena, consolidating our position as a reference in airport management in the country.
The new concession, awarded in September 2024, also includes Antofagasta Airport and will receive investment of 260 million euros to modernise both infrastructures.
Future actions at Atacama Airport:
- Expansion of the passenger terminal to 18,274 m².
- Addition of 4 boarding bridges.
- Expansion of aircraft parking areas.
The works will begin in 2027 and will be completed in 2030, improving the travel experience of 720,000 passengers per year.
