Onet in Brazil, ready to take off!
Despite a complex international health and economic context, we are maintaining our trajectory and growth projections for 2020 in the Brazilian transport sector, particularly in the airport and public transport segments. In Brazil, we are now active in eleven airports, and can continue to grow in the months ahead.
Immediate take-off for Onet in Brazil. Our Group, which was already involved in the country's four largest airports (São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Porto Alegre and Fortaleza), is benefiting from an unprecedented wave of privatizations. ENAIRE, the Spanish organization in charge of managing Spain's airports and their air traffic, joined the ranks and won the management of six airport platforms in northeastern Brazil, entrusting us with cleaning and disinfection services, as well as sorting and maintenance of baggage carts.
These six domestic airports alone account for 6.5% of the country's air traffic, with cumulative traffic of 13.8 million passengers in 2019.
We operate both passenger terminals and cargo areas. These new technical services vary from one airport to another, depending on the scope of the contract, and evolve in line with calls for tender. At São Paulo's Guarulhos International Airport, for example, we are involved in mechanized tarmac cleaning on the airside, while in 2020 we signed a cart storage and cleaning contract with São Paulo's Congonhas airport.
We also provide building maintenance, vehicle fleet maintenance, baggage conveyor maintenance and gardening services at two airports operated by the Fraport Group in Brazil: Fortaleza Airport, in the state of Ceará, and Porto Alegre Airport, in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. The latter uses our services to maintain its effluent treatment plant.
We now have eleven customers in the Brazilian airport sector, employing over 600 people. A new wave of privatizations could open up new prospects in 2021, when 22 terminals in the southern, northern and central regions will be put out to tender.
