In the UK, Mexico and the Dominican Republic, five airports have received 15 ACI ASQ awards.In Hungary, Japan and Chile, three airports win a Skytrax award each.These numerous awards demonstrate VINCI Airports' commitment to providing the best passenger experience.

Airport Service Quality (ASQ) Award from the Airport Council International (ACI)

Five airports in the VINCI Airports network are ranked among the world's best in their category for service quality in the Airport Service Quality (ASQ) ranking by Airports Council International (ACI). Resulting from a global benchmark, these ASQ Awards recognize airports that have achieved the highest passenger satisfaction scores through surveys conducted directly in terminals worldwide.

In the European zone as defined by ACI, Belfast International Airport wins its first ASQ award in the category of "Best Airports at Departures: 5 to 10 million passengers”. Behind this award lies a strong operational performance, made possible by some of the most modern and efficient security screening facilities in the world. Thanks to state-of-the-art equipment installed across all cabin baggage screening lanes, in 2025, 95% of passengers were screened in under 15 minutes in the new dedicated area. Furthermore, 80% of flights departed with less than 15 minutes of delay, placing the airport among the most punctual in the UK.

In the Latin America and Caribbean region, three Mexican airports in the network have received awards and continue to distinguish themselves through their quality of service. Monterrey airport stands out, winning the award for “Best Airports at Departures: 5 to 10 million passengers”. It is also recognized for its dedicated staff, the easiest airport journey, and receives awards for most enjoyable and cleanest airport.

In the category of airports handling fewer than 2 million passengers, Durango and Tampico have both been voted best departure airports. Durango Airport stands out for the quality of its staff's service, the smooth passenger experience, and its comfort and cleanliness, earning the title of most pleasant and cleanest airport. Tampico, for its part, is praised for its staff's helpfulness and the seamless passenger journey it offers.

In the Dominican Republic, Puerto Plata airport, one of the six airports run by VINCI Airports on the island, wins the award for best departure airport for traffic of less than 2 million passengers.

Skytrax Awards 2026

Skytrax is the world's first quality rating system for the airport sector with a scale of 1 to 5 stars based on the overall performance of the infrastructure.

In Hungary, the airport of Budapest wins a Skytrax award for the thirteenth time in the category of “Best airport in Eastern Europe”. After handling nearly 20 million passengers in 2025, the infrastructure continues its development, alongside the implementation of new large-scale investment projects aimed at further improving the passenger experience.

In Japan, Kansai International airport wins the Skytrax award for world’s best low-cost terminal for Terminal 2. This is the fifth time the airport has received this award.

To address the expected increase in traffic in the coming years, an Airport Master Plan, including the construction of new boarding gates for domestic and international flights, has also been presented to the Government. Other major projects are also under consideration: a new maintenance hangar to be built by TAP airline and the future high-speed rail line planned by the Government. All these investments will further strengthen Porto airport’s strategic role in Portugal and the Iberian Peninsula.

According to Nicolas Notebaert, Chief Executive Officer of VINCI Concessions and President of VINCI Airports: “Celebrating 80 years of Porto Airport means looking ahead. We are building a more modern, more efficient and more sustainable airport, designed to support the growth of a dynamic region and to represent Portugal with excellence on the international stage. In Porto, we are developing the airport – in terms of both traffic and infrastructure – and we will continue to invest for the future, as we do in all Portuguese airports.”

The foundation stone of the new terminal complex at Budapest Airport was laid, marking a major milestone. The €1bn transformative investment aims at building the next-generation airport in Budapest, driving economic and tourism growth in Hungary and Central Europe.

Following an exceptional year in 2025, during which the airport welcomed nearly 20 million passengers, representing a +35% increase in traffic since VINCI Airports took over operations in 2023, after a joint investment with the State of Hungary, this large-scale project aims to meet the growing demands of air traffic – an increase of 10 million passengers is expected – and deliver world-class facilities tailored to the future needs of travellers.

This development program, supported by a total investment of €1 billion over the next 10 years, ranks among the most significant airport investment projects in Central Europe during the coming decade. 

The program includes:

• A new main terminal spanning 35,000 m², featuring centralized check-in facilities, optimized security screening areas, and integrated commercial spaces to create a seamless and enhanced passenger experience.
• A new 19,000 m² passenger pier along with the expansion of aircraft apron areas over 132,000 m², which will include 13 new aircraft stands and a dedicated de-icing area.
• Refurbishment of car parks, improvements to external and internal roads, and curbside upgrades to match the new centralized building.

In parallel, targeted improvements to Terminal 2 have already begun to ensure a smooth transition until the new facilities are delivered. These include reconfiguring the passenger check-in hall to expand space and add counters, upgrading security lanes for faster screening, and implementing advanced screening systems. Automatic gates have been reoriented, and a dedicated lane for passengers with reduced mobility, families, and Fast Track Lane users is being created. In addition, the area of Pier B will be expanded, providing even greater capacity for handling passengers arriving from non-Schengen areas.

Nicolas Notebaert, president of VINCI Airports, emphasized during the event: “Today’s laying of the foundation stone is a very important moment for Budapest Airport, but also for Hungary’s aviation industry and economy. The heightened interest in Hungary and Budapest among foreign visitors, the upward trend in Hungarians’ propensity to travel and the record traffic recorded at the airport last year confirm our ambition: we are determined to deliver a modern, world-class aerial gateway for Hungary, prepared to meet the needs of travellers in the years to come.”

● Positive results over the last three years: consideration of the association model, significant events such as the Electric Tour and the Young Pilots Air Tour●Three priorities for 2026-2028: optimizing cooperation between flying clubs and airports, accelerating the energy transition, and promoting aviation to the public

VINCI Airports, a committed player in French general aviation with 21 flying clubs hosted on its network of airports in France, and the French Aeronautical Federation (FFA), which federates 600 French flying clubs, have been pursuing a cooperation based on concrete actions since 2020.

Valérie Vesque-Jeancard, Deputy Director France of VINCI Airports, and Kevin Dupuch, President of the FFA, signed a new partnership agreement for the period 2026-2028 on February 9, 2026 at the Aero Club of France. This new agreement confirms the commitment of both partners to work together to improve welcomeness at airports, raise public awareness, and support the energy transition of light and sport aviation.

Two events exemplify the spirit of the first six years of collaboration. The joint organization of the VINCI Airports Electric Tour in 2024 demonstrated the operational viability of electric aircraft by connecting several airports in the VINCI Airports network in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region (Annecy, Chambéry, Grenoble, and Clermont-Ferrand airports). That same year, hosting the Young Pilots' Air Tour in Dinard and Clermont-Ferrand, a veritable summer school for young pilots, helped to inspire vocations in piloting and to promote careers in aviation to the public.

Beyond these flagship events, the partnership has profoundly transformed the relationship between the airport management and flying clubs. The collaboration has evolved from a traditional airport management-user relationship to a constructive and regular dialogue on shared topics, such as noise management and aviation promotion initiatives.

Through the 2026-2028 agreement, the partners intend to continue and deepen the areas of collaboration already undertaken.

Regarding the sector's energy transition, VINCI Airports and the French Aeronautical Federation (FFA) will continue to work together with the rest of the industry, particularly airlines and aircraft manufacturers, to accelerate the advent of the low-carbon aircraft. VINCI Airports is deploying the necessary infrastructure at its airports, such as providing Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) and installing charging stations for electric aircraft, which are already operational at six airports in the French network. For its part, the FFA continues its strong commitment to promoting electric aircraft and is working to encourage their adoption within its flying clubs.

The two partners will also continue their joint actions to promote aviation, its professions and its innovations to the regions and the public through events and one-off operations, allowing them to highlight the scale of the sector in France and the possible opportunities.

Kevin Dupuch, President of the French Aeronautical Federation: “The renewal of this partnership with VINCI Airports is a continuation of our shared approach aimed at better integrating light and sport aviation into its environment. Together, we are working to revitalize local communities, foster vocations, and support the environmental transition. The social value of light aviation, a unique model in Europe, is thus recognized and sustainably preserved.”

Valérie Vesque-Jeancard, Deputy Director France of VINCI Airports: “Through this second renewal of our agreement with the FFA, we want to give light and sport aviation all the space and visibility it deserves on our platforms, as a training ground for the pilots and aeronautical technicians of tomorrow. Beyond raising awareness of this sector of excellence for our country and inspiring vocations, we jointly want to highlight, better welcome, and promote electric light aviation, because we share with the FFA the conviction that light aviation is a fantastic laboratory for inventing the sustainable aviation of tomorrow.”

After 15 months of construction work and an investment of €15 million, Nantes Atlantique Airport has commissioned new electrical infrastructure designed to significantly reduce emissions from ground operations. The airport now features 12 electrified aircraft stands and 100 additional electric charging points for airside vehicles and ground support equipment, fully aligned with VINCI Airports’ environmental strategy and the European regulation to decarbonise the aviation sector.

The electrification of ground operations is an immediate lever for reducing the carbon footprint of airlines and ground handling companies, which account for an airport’s indirect emissions (Scope 3). Thanks to these new facilities, aircraft parked at contact stands can now be supplied with electricity and air conditioning without using auxiliary power units or thermal equipment.

At the same time, the airport has deployed 100 electric charging points across the apron: 7.4 kW chargers for light vehicles, 120 kW chargers for buses, as well as sockets adapted for baggage tractors and refuelling vehicles. This modernisation significantly reduces the use of fossil fuels and can cut greenhouse gas emissions from ground operations by up to 50%.

With a total investment of €15 million, the project was funded 70% by Aéroports du Grand Ouest (AGO), with 30% support from the European Union and backing from Banque des Territoires. It meets the requirements of the European AFIR regulation (Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation), which mandates the electrification of aircraft stands by 2030.

This initiative is also part of VINCI Airports’ environmental strategy, which aims to achieve net zero emissions across its airports in the European Union and the United Kingdom by 2030.

“By electrifying aircraft stands and deploying charging stations for ground support equipment, we are helping to reduce emissions from airlines and ground handling companies. This is fully in line with the strategy we are pursuing to reduce the environmental impact of airport activities. This commitment, led by VINCI Airports since 2016, is part of a comprehensive approach to reducing CO₂ emissions from our own airport operations while also addressing those generated by third parties,” said Guillaume Dubois, Chairman of Aéroports du Grand Ouest and CEO of Nantes Atlantique Airport.

“By electrifying its ground services, Nantes Atlantique Airport is positioning itself among Europe’s leading airports, firmly committed to the decarbonisation of the aviation sector. With a grant of nearly €4.5 million, the European Union has supported this initiative, which represents a major step forward towards a sustainable, low-carbon airport model, both in the Pays de la Loire region and across Europe, directly contributing to European climate ambitions,” added Richard Ferrer, Head of the Alternative Fuels Sector at the European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency (CINEA).

VINCI Airports is strengthening transatlantic connectivity with the launch of a new direct route between Monterrey International Airport, part of its network, and Paris. Operated by Aeroméxico, the service will start on April 13, 2026, improving long-haul connectivity between northern Mexico and Europe.

The new Monterrey-Paris route will operate three times a week using Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft, offering direct access to the French capital for both leisure and business travellers and supporting tourism, economic exchanges and international mobility.

This new service reinforces Monterrey International Airport’s position as the leading air hub in northern Mexico and reflects VINCI Airports’ strategy to support the development of long-haul routes that enhance the international reach of the airports in its network.

Nuevo León’s Secretary of Tourism, Maricarmen Martínez Villarreal, highlighted the importance of air connectivity for tourism growth and international positioning, noting that “air connectivity plays a key role in tourism development, as it facilitates exchange between destinations and strengthens Nuevo León’s global presence.”

“The new direct Monterrey–Paris route reinforces Monterrey International Airport’s role as the main air hub in northern Mexico. This connection expands international connectivity and positions Nuevo León as a strategic gateway for tourism, business, and investment between Europe and Mexico,” said Ricardo Dueñas, CEO of OMA Aeropuertos.

The route announcement was presented in Paris to European media and tourism stakeholders, in coordination with the Mexican Embassy in France, as part of efforts to promote Monterrey Airport’s growing international connectivity.

Excellent performance throughout 2025 for VINCI Airports traffic with over 334 million passengers (+5% vs. 2024)Increase of 3.2% in traffic during Q4 2025 compared to Q4 2024Strong traffic momentum in Q4 at Budapest, Salvador de Bahia, Monterrey, and Cabo Verde

In the paragraphs below, and unless otherwise stated, the variations refer to traffic levels for the 4^th quarter of 2025 compared to the 4^th quarter of 2024.

In 2025, VINCI Airports welcomed more than 334 million passengers, representing an additional 16 million travellers in one year (+5% compared to 2024). This strong growth reaffirms VINCI Airports' status as the world’s leading private airport operator and aligns with the overall upward trend in air traffic.

Beyond the annual results, the fourth quarter of 2025 also showed a traffic increase (+3.2%) compared to the same period in 2024, confirming robust momentum in several regions.

Several European airports continue to record very strong growth. The airports of Budapest and Edinburgh, the latest additions to the VINCI Airports network, deliver remarkable performances: Budapest airport is experiencing double-digit growth, driven by the dynamism of airlines easyJet, Ryanair, and Wizz Air across all their markets. Mediterranean connections, especially to Spain, Italy, Turkey, and Israel, are registering significant peaks. Meanwhile, Edinburgh airport shows a solid growth, also supported by the rise of flights to Mediterranean destinations (Spain, Italy, and Turkey) and the British domestic market. Belgrade airport traffic continues its impressive progression, driven primarily in Q4 by the expansion of Wizz Air's routes to Western Europe.

In Portugal, Porto airport experienced an increase in traffic driven by the growth of low-cost airline offerings and the expansion of transatlantic routes. The strong momentum at Lisbon airport continued, with notable growth in long-haul flights, particularly to Asian and Latin American markets. This long-haul segment also progressed at London Gatwick airport, while domestic traffic in the UK slowed due to the reorganization of low-cost airline offerings. In France, traffic growth at Lyon airport was fueled by international flights to a diverse range of destinations: Germany via Lufthansa, Eastern Europe with Wizz Air, and the Mediterranean region with Transavia and easyJet.

In Latin America and Africa, several airports experienced traffic acceleration this quarter. In Brazil, Salvador de Bahia recorded traffic records in Q4, driven by GOL's expansion and long-haul traffic supported by TAP and Air Europa. The seasonal strengthening of the Air France route between Salvador and Paris CDG also contributed to the increase of capacities during this period. In Mexico, Monterrey airport is maintaining its strong momentum with nearly 10% growth, primarily fueled by Volaris and Viva Aerobus. Growth is also excellent in Costa Rica, where connections to the United States continued to bolster traffic. Meanwhile, airports in Cabo Verde are continuing their upward trend, supported in particular by operations from easyJet and Transavia. New routes to France and the United Kingdom enriched the offerings and complemented growth driven by connections to Portugal.

In Japan, traffic results increased in Q4 despite geopolitical tensions with China, which led to some flight cancellations in December. These events tempered the strong recovery in international traffic observed up until then.

. Completion of the first phase of works: €80 million invested in airport modernization and decarbonization of operations. Launch of a new phase: €142 million over three years for additional expansions and operational/environmental improvements. Record traffic growth: +60% increase between 2022 and 2025, driven by 35 new air routes and initiatives to enhance connectivity

VINCI Airports marks a major milestone in Cape Verde. During a ceremony attended by Prime Minister José Ulisses Correia e Silva, Deputy Prime Minister Olavo Avelino Garcia Correia and Nicolas Notebaert, President of VINCI Airports, the Group announced the completion of the first phase of airport modernization and the launch of an ambitious new investment program to continue supporting air traffic growth and fostering the economic and tourism dynamism of the archipelago.

Since its takeover in 2023, VINCI Airports has significantly strengthened the connectivity of Cape Verde's airports. This development has resulted in a marked increase in passenger traffic: +60% between 2022 and 2025, notably thanks to the opening of 35 new air routes, including 15 in 2024 and 20 in 2025. The Group's efforts to attract low-cost carriers have made travel more affordable while promoting tourism and improving mobility for Cape Verde's diaspora.

The completion of the first phase of works (Phase 1A) in 2025, involving substantial investments of €80 million, represents a significant step forward for Cape Verde's airports. Key achievements include:

• Runway renovations at Sal and São Nicolau airports

• Modernization of passenger spaces and terminals

• Reconfiguration of aircraft parking areas

• Installation of self-service check-in counters

• Deployment of advanced IT solutions

In addition to these operational improvements, Cape Verde airports have made notable progress in decarbonization under VINCI Airports' environmental strategy. Actions taken include the installation of solar power plants at Sal, Praia, Boa Vista, and São Vicente airports, implementation of oil separators, and replacement of lighting systems with LEDs across several platforms.

VINCI Airports and Cabo Verde Airports are now launching an ambitious new development plan, called Phase 1B, involving €142 million over three years to increase the capacity of airports throughout the archipelago. The project includes terminal expansions, new commercial areas, and important operational improvements such as the runway extension at Boa Vista. From Sal to Praia, Boa Vista, São Vicente, São Filipe, São Nicolau, and Maio, each airport will also benefit from enhanced facilities, such as waste treatment and wastewater processing plants.

This comprehensive program is made possible by a robust and virtuous Public-Private Partnership model. Financing has been solidly structured, with an initial €60 million sustainability-linked loan secured for Phase 1A in 2023. Phase 1B is backed by a new €120 million sustainability-linked loan contributed by IFC, DEG, and EAAIF, with its financial closure completed in December 2025. The shareholders continue to support these developments by providing equity funds, ensuring the sustainability of the investments.

Nicolas Notebaert, President of VINCI Concessions and VINCI Airports, stated during the completion ceremony: “The completion of this first phase and the launch of the next stage of airport modernization mark a significant advancement for Cape Verde. We are proud to contribute to turning its airport infrastructure into a benchmark for economic growth and sustainable development. In close partnership with Cape Verdean authorities, VINCI Airports is committed to delivering modern, efficient, and well-connected airports while placing passenger experience improvement at the core of our priorities.”

VINCI Airports has completed the expansion and modernisation of the Schengen departure area of Terminal 2 at Lisbon Airport, reinforcing its commitment to service quality and operational efficiency. Inaugurated early January, this latest phase represents an investment of €12 million, bringing the total investment in Terminal 2 to €20 million since 2020.

This project is part of the wider UPGRADE plan, through which more than €300 million of investments are currently underway at Lisbon Airport. These include the creation of a new departure area, Pier Sul, and the expansion of Terminal 1 by an additional 33,000 m², with 10 new boarding gates and a complete redesign of the terminal’s central core.

Terminal 2 at Humberto Delgado Airport now offers more space, more natural light, greater comfort, more seating, a wider range of passenger services and new technological features. The improvements also include the implementation of Biometrics by VINCI Airports technology at all gates, enabling faster, paperless boarding. 

Key features of the renovated Terminal 2 include:

• Expansion of the boarding area with more space and natural light ;
• More seating and charging points for electronic devices ;
• More services for passengers with a wider range of restaurants and shops ;
• Installation of biometric technology at all boarding gates ;
• Greater comfort and better organisation of passenger flows.

“The completion of this phase of the Terminal 2 modernization demonstrates the dedication of our ANA and VINCI Airports teams, who have been able to plan and execute complex interventions in an airport operating at full capacity. This investment strengthens Lisbon Airport’s ability to welcome passengers with greater comfort and efficiency, improving the travel experience for both Portuguese passengers and those who visit us.” Stated Thierry Ligonnière, Portugal, Brazil & Cabo Verde Director at VINCI Airports.

Salvador Bahia Airport, part of VINCI Airports’ network since 2018, is pioneering Brazil’s aviation decarbonization by becoming the country’s first airport to supply Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) for commercial operations. Regular use of SAF begins this November. This marks a significant milestone for the airport and for VINCI Airports’ commitment to accelerating the energy transition across its mobility infrastructure and with its stakeholders.

Salvador Bahia Airport already stands as a regional benchmark for environmental performance. As the first airport in the Americas to achieve the highest level of Airport Carbon Accreditation (ACA 5), it has implemented advanced practices for carbon management and reduction. Today, more than 15 airports across our network already offer SAF, and the introduction of this fuel into regular operations in Salvador further strengthens this position and aligns with decarbonization goals across the VINCI Airports network.

In Brazil, SAF is distributed commercially by Vibra. The fuel blend used at Salvador complies with international sustainability criteria and can help lower lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional jet fuel.

Two daily flights departing from Salvador Bahia and operated by Gol Linhas Aéreas and LATAM Airlines Brasil are now supplied with SAF. They use a blend containing 10% pure SAF and 90% conventional jet fuel, currently the highest proportion applied in Brazilian aviation. The pure SAF, produced from used cooking oil, is presently the only one available on the national market. While emissions from flights fall under airlines’ scope 1 and the airport’s scope 3, this renewable fuel contributes to reducing lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional jet fuel. Its introduction at Salvador Bahia Airport represents a concrete first step in expanding SAF use in Brazil’s aviation sector and supporting more sustainable operational praactices.

Governor Jerônimo Rodrigues highlights that Bahia is already one of the most advanced states in the country in green technologies, especially in the automotive, renewable energy, and emerging industry sectors. 

“Bahia has made significant progress in clean energy production and in building a more sustainable future, where development and social justice move forward together,” said the governor. “During our participation in COP30, we made clear that the Bahia government is aligned with Brazil’s stance on the shared responsibility we all have in the face of the climate crisis,” he added.

Julio Ribas, CEO of VINCI Airports in Brazil, which operates Salvador Bahia Airport (and seven airports in the Amazonia), highlights that the regular use of SAF represents another decisive step toward sustainable aviation in Brazil: 

“SAF is currently the most effective tool for reducing emissions in commercial aviation. Being able to offer flights fueled with SAF in Salvador on a continuous basis places Bahia at the forefront of the energy transition and reinforces our commitment to transforming passenger journeys with increasingly sustainable solutions.”

First airport in the Americas to achieve highest global recognition for airport carbon managementLevel 5 recognizes airport’s net-zero direct emission in 2025 and its pledge to achieve it on scope 3 by 2050An achievement illustrating VINCI Airports' commitment to sustainable and innovative management of airport infrastructure and its contribution to the transition of its stakeholders.

Two years after being among the first airports in the world to achieve ACA Level 5 accreditation at COP28 in Dubai, VINCI Airports announces at COP30 in Belém that Salvador Bahia Airport has become the first airport in Brazil and across the entire American continent to reach Level 5 of the Airport Carbon Accreditation (ACA) – the highest global recognition in airport decarbonisation.

This landmark certification, granted by the Airports Council International (ACI), recognizes the airport's achievement of net-zero emissions for Scopes 1 and 2, alongside its commitment to reaching net-zero for Scope 3 emissions by 2050 at the latest, through collaboration with partners and stakeholders. 

This milestone reflects VINCI Airports’ commitment to decarbonizing its airports operations, addressing both direct emissions on the one hand, but also indirect emissions on the other, by actively engaging suppliers and partners to reduce its environmental footprint. 

It’s the result of several actions delivered by Salvador airport teams, notably:

• Solar power generation at two photovoltaic plants, for a total capacity of 6 MWp, supplying electricity both for the airport’s own operations and for cargo facilities operated by third parties 

• The exclusive use of 100% renewable energy for all airport operations including tenants’ operations

• The replacement of gas-powered equipment with electric alternatives for tenant activities, including restaurants 

• The conversion of the airport’s vehicle fleet to electric or biofuel-powered vehicles.

• Ongoing dialogue with stakeholders to raise awareness and foster joint action on emission reduction 

• The offsetting of residual emissions through certified carbon sequestration projects, including support for a 3,879-hectare reforestation initiative in the Corumbá region of Brazil, which — beyond protecting the environment — also generates significant socio-economic benefits for local communities, notably through the creation of local jobs.

Nicolas Notebaert, CEO of Concessions at VINCI and President of VINCI Airports, stated at COP 30: “This milestone marks a major step forward on the American continent in the decarbonisation of our airport activities and aviation as a whole. It reflects the outstanding commitment of our teams and our determination to take decisive action across our airports worldwide.”

In the 14 countries where it operates more than 70 airports, VINCI Airports is committed to a decarbonization approach across its entire value chain.

It aims to achieve net zero emissions for its direct activities by 2030 within the European Union and the United Kingdom, and by 2050 in the rest of the world. With 60 airports accredited, including six airports at the maximum ACA level 5 (in France, Brazil and Portugal), VINCI Airports is the leading international contributor to the ACI’s ACA program, the international framework for airport decarbonisation pathway.

The development of regional connectivity lies at the heart of VINCI Airports’ value creation strategy. In collaboration with more than 300 airlines worldwide, VINCI Airports promotes a diversity of operators and destinations, bringing regions closer together and enhancing their attractiveness.With the launch of five new routes connecting France, Portugal, Hungary, and Cabo Verde, intra-network exchanges are intensifying, multiplying opportunities for travel and discovery.

New European connection: Budapest-Nantes

Budapest Airport in Hungary and Nantes Atlantique Airport in France, both members of the VINCI Airports network, are now connected by a direct flight operated twice a week by easyJet.
This new route not only facilitates tourism but also strengthens economic exchanges between Western and Central Europe. More than just a new service, it illustrates VINCI Airports’ strategy to enhance synergies among its European airports and provide smoother travel connections, while supporting regional development.

New routes to the Cabo Verde islands

This season, Cabo Verde airports are becoming more accessible, with several new intra-network routes allowing travellers to reach the archipelago directly from Europe, while supporting local tourism development.

In Praia, the international airport welcomed its first Transavia flight from Lyon-Saint Exupéry Airport, marking a new milestone in connectivity between France and the island.

In Boa Vista, the arrival of easyJet flights from Lisbon and Porto strengthens the links between Portuguese airports and the Cabo Verde islands. Since joining the VINCI Airports network in 2023, these airports have recorded record traffic levels in 2024, driven by the arrival of new airlines and increased flight frequencies.

With these five new routes: Lyon-Praia, Lisbon-Boa Vista, Porto-Boa Vista, Nantes-Budapest and Nantes-Sal, VINCI Airports is consolidating its position as the world’s leading private airport operator, while strengthening exchanges within its network between Europe and Africa. These new connections reflect a shared ambition: to bring regions closer together, support tourism and offer travellers ever more opportunities for discovery.

Traffic up 4.2% in Q3 2025 compared to Q3 2024; +3.6% in September 2025 compared to September 2024High level of traffic in August on most European platformsVery good traffic dynamics in Japan, Mexico, Brazil and Cabo Verde

In the paragraphs below, and unless otherwise stated, the variations refer to traffic levels for the 3^rd quarter of 2025 compared to the 3^rd quarter of 2024.

VINCI Airports recorded strong traffic growth in the third quarter, welcoming 94 million passengers, up 4.2% year-on-year, or 3.8 million additional travelers. Summer 2025 was characterized by good traffic performance at most airports. High load factors and an increasing airline seat supply fueled this expansion. Some hubs performed particularly well: resort destinations around the Mediterranean in Europe and routes between China and Japan.

In Portugal, the summer season was marked by solid traffic growth in Lisbon, and even more so in Porto, Faro and Funchal (+7% on average across these four airports). In Lisbon, European connections (Germany and Italy in particular) served by low-cost airlines and long-haul traffic with the United States and Brazil were the main drivers. Porto and Faro airports continue to attract many passengers from the United Kingdom and Germany. In France, Nantes and Lyon airports recorded good traffic in August. In Nantes, French, Spanish and Italian tourist destinations were very popular (increased service from easyJet and Air France Group airlines). In Lyon, French and North African destinations performed well. In the two latest acquisitions of the VINCI Airports network, in Edinburgh and Budapest, traffic growth was remarkable, driven by destinations in Western Europe and the Mediterranean region. In Belgrade , traffic grew by double digits on routes to Greece, Italy, Germany and Spain. Cabo Verde airports continue to grow at a strong pace, thanks to the strengthening of services from TACV, TAP and Transavia, and new flights from easyJet.

Belfast International and London Gatwick airports have been hit by a decline in the number of seats on sale. This is mainly due to the reorganization of flights by some low-cost airlines in favor of longer segments to tourist destinations and to the detriment of domestic flights within the United Kingdom (which penalizes the number of rotations, and therefore the number of seats on sale).

Strong summer demand in Japan, illustrated by the increase in load factors despite an increased seat supply, was boosted by the Universal Exhibition held in Osaka. Connections with China were very busy (+51% compared to 2024; +24% compared to 2019), thanks to the significant increase in flights offered by Chinese airlines. Regional markets (South Korea; Taiwan) as well as domestic routes continue to perform well. In Cambodia, where VINCI Airports is the concessionaire of Sihanoukville airport and, since September 9, has been operating the new Techo International airport in Phnom Penh through an operating contract, the recovery of traffic continues, driven by regional connections including China.

In Mexico, traffic growth was spectacular at Monterrey (+15%), where Volaris' capacity more than doubled; the company had suffered the grounding of some aircraft for engine maintenance last year. Traffic growth at Mexican airports is driven in particular by connections with the United States. In Brazil, the Salvador de Bahia airport benefited from good domestic GOL Airlines momentum and long-haul traffic driven by Air Europa and Air France. In Amazonia, double-digit traffic growth was enabled by increased capacity from both Brazilian and international airlines. In the Dominican Republic, traffic at Santo Domingo is penalized by the repositioning of Arajet aircraft to other airports, penalizing regional services. Traffic with the United States remains dynamic.

The airport has achieved net zero carbon emissions within its direct scope of activities.It is among the 25 most advanced airports in the world in terms of decarbonization.This achievement illustrates VINCI Airports' commitment to sustainable and innovative management of airport infrastructure and its contribution to the transition of its stakeholders.

VINCI Airports announces that Lyon Airport has achieved net zero emissions¹, becoming the first airport in France with over 10 million passengers to reach this milestone as of May 2025, following Toulon Airport in 2023.

Lyon Airport's environmental action plan, driven by VINCI Airports, the airport's operator since 2016, has enabled a 94% reduction in the airport's direct CO² emissions (scopes 1 and 2) between 2013 and 2024. 

This was achieved through initiatives in the following areas:

• Electricity: Solar energy production for self-consumption, 100% LED lighting, and 100% green electricity (with guarantees of origin).
• Heating: Transition to 100% biogas (with guarantees of origin) and heat recovery from co-generation production (electricity generation from biogas).
• Fuels: Optimization and electrification of the airport's vehicle fleet.
• Air conditioning: Replacement of equipment, improved management, and prevention of refrigerant fluid leaks.

The net zero emissions target for 2026 was achieved one year ahead of schedule.

Lyon Airport is committed to maintaining this reduction over time by keeping its emissions below 500 tonnes of CO² equivalent per year and offsetting residual emissions through local reforestation projects certified under the Low Carbon Label. These projects, launched in 2021 and 2022 in partnership with the Rhône Department and the National Forestry Office (Office National des Forêts), are located in the northern Beaujolais region in France.

The ACA5 certification not only recognizes the efforts made to reduce Lyon-Saint Exupéry airport's direct emissions but also highlights the work accomplished in supporting all its stakeholders in decarbonizing their activities (Scope 3).

This commitment is reflected in several key initiatives:

• Development of photovoltaic plants: By 2025, 25 MWp will be operational, including 20 MWp injected into the grid to supply neighboring communities, avoiding nearly 1,600 tonnes of CO² emissions annually, and 5 MWp dedicated to self-consumption.
• Construction of hydrogen distribution stations: The first station, Hympulsion, designed for light vehicles, was inaugurated last June in collaboration with the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region.
• Electrification of ground vehicle fleets: Installation of electric vehicle charging stations in airport parking lots, with 850 chargers to be operational by 2026.
• Landing fee modulation: Incentivizing the use of lower-emission aircraft.
• Distribution of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF): Starting in 2025, in compliance with the ReFuel EU regulation.
• Local production and supply of synthetic sustainable aviation fuels, thanks to the signing of a partnership with H2V and Hy2gen in early 2025.

Nicolas Notebaert, Chief Executive Officer of Concessions at VINCI  and President of VINCI Airports, states : 
"In the air transport sector, our commitment is total, not only within our own sphere of activity, but also with our various stakeholders. With 60 airports accredited to the Airport Carbon Accreditation (ACA) program, including five airports² at the maximum ACA 5 level (in France and Portugal), VINCI Airports is the leading international contributor to the ACI (Airports Council International) ACA program".

In the 14 countries where it operates more than 70 airports, VINCI Airports is committed to a decarbonization approach across its entire value chain. The company aims to achieve net zero emissions for its direct activities by 2030 within the European Union and the United Kingdom, and by 2050 in the rest of the world.

Rennes Bretagne Airport, jointly managed by VINCI Airports and the Ille-et-Vilaine Chamber of Commerce and Industry, has inaugurated an ultra-fast charging station in partnership with Electra, a European leader in electric charging. The station, open 24/7, is designed for both passengers and local residents.

A service offering designed for everyone

Located in close proximity to the airport, this new station allows all types of electric vehicles to be recharged in just 12 to 20 minutes, thanks to ultra-fast charging stations capable of delivering up to 400 kW per charging point. The total connection capacity is set to evolve to 2 MW by the end of the year.

In line with the passenger experience offered by VINCI Airports, this station has been designed to make every charging session simple and fast. It offers:

• An intuitive and user-friendly interface
• Multiple payment options: mobile app, EMSP (e-Mobility Service Provider) badge, or credit card
• Transparent pricing
• 24/7 assistance available

The station meets the needs of both residents in the southern part of Rennes and the heavy traffic on the D177 and N136 roads, which see 20,000 and over 60,000 vehicles per day, respectively. It enhances the existing offering at Rennes Bretagne Airport, bringing the total number of charging points in the airport's parking areas to 73 stations.

A project supporting the region's energy transition

Since 2016, Rennes Bretagne Airport has already reduced its direct CO2 emissions by 50% and continues its efforts through:

• The use of 100% green electricity and the widespread adoption of LED lighting,
• Optimization of water consumption and a strong focus on waste management, including a partnership with Paprec and, more recently, the recycling of bio-waste with CMV,
• The gradual electrification of ground handling equipment (80% of the most polluting equipment will be electric by the end of 2025).

This ultra-fast charging station represents a new milestone in the commitment of Rennes Bretagne Airport and VINCI Airports to more sustainable mobility, serving both passengers and local residents. It aligns with VINCI Airports' environmental policy on Scope 3 emissions, aiming to reduce the carbon footprint associated with passenger and stakeholder travel. As part of this effort, VINCI Airports is increasingly offering more charging points across its network.

For example, in 2024, VINCI Airports signed a contract with TotalEnergies for the deployment and operation of over 800 electric charging points in the parking areas of Lyon-Saint Exupéry Airport. At London Gatwick Airport, an Electric Forecourt charging station dedicated to electric vehicles was also launched in 2024. Additionally, Osaka Itami Airport in Japan introduced a "WeCharge" electric charging station, featuring the largest parking facility for electric vehicles in the country.

“The development of electric mobility is part of Rennes Bretagne Airport’s environmental strategy and aligns with the ambition of the Brittany Region: in addition to reducing our direct emissions, we are also taking action with our various stakeholders. This new charging station for light vehicles will help decarbonize part of the travel of both passengers and airport employees, while enhancing our service offering for travelers, visitors, and local residents,” said Yannick Bouiller, Director of Rennes and Dinard Bretagne airports.
