Quite recently, in April 2021, CCR has also added to its airport investment portfolio a total of 15 airports in Brazil from a public auction. CCR will operate nine airports in south Brazil, for which it bid BRL 2.1bn, and six in the central region, with a BRL 754mn bid. Nevertheless, social distancing policies as well as restrictions on the movement of people imposed by the governments around the world due to the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in year-on-year declines in passenger traffic, including those airports managed by CCR-owned concessionaires.

For CCR, gross revenues from its airport segment fell by 5.7% from BRL 1.136bn to BRL 1.071bn in 2020. At Curaçao International Airport, passenger departures fell by 60.9% from 688,000 in 2019 to 269,000 in 2020. Gross revenues from Curaçao Airport Partners fell by 43.7% from BRL 169.1mn to BRL 95.2mn in 2020.
