Government studies bear values, ensuring revenue from new dealers
RIO - The government is studying a concession model for regional airports where there is no boarding fare collection, said on Wednesday the CEO Planning and Logistics (EPL), Bernardo Figueiredo. In this model, called the administrative concession, the government itself would pay rates, ensuring revenue for the airport administrator during the concession period. About 400 airports would be granted based on this model.
As the demand for offsets to medium cities is lower than the capital or large cities, the price of tickets for those cities from hubs (distribution centers flights) traditional tends to be higher. The government believes that the charging of boarding tickets become expensive even more, which could derail the projects, identified as drivers of regional development. So, is willing to assume that burden.
- It'll be expensive for someone. Or the government will pay or the user will pay - says Figueiredo, who participates in the 24 Brazilian Steel Conference in Rio
In practice, it is as if the government has to finance with the private sector. The dealer bears the costs of the works in airports and government passes him the revenue rates over the concession. To Figueiredo, the model is interesting because it combines the flexibility and efficiency of the management of private enterprise to the public interest to promote development.
The Regional Aviation Plan includes 689 airports, of which 270 are administered by state Infraero. These are reserved for investments of about R$ 7 billion, with the goal of modernization or expansion. The remaining 419 are under the administration of state or municipal governments. It is for these terminals that EPL evaluates the administrative concession. According to Figueiredo, conversations with mayors and governors are ongoing, but there is no time limit for the auction.
Figueiredo said the same concession model is being investigated for auction waterways. A company that wants to carry soy or ore by the river would not pay anything for shipping, leaving the government to assume the burden of tariffs. The technical studies for the pilot project, the Tocantins waterway - which connects Palmas (TO) to Bethlehem (PA) - must be completed in September and presented to the Ministry of Transport to the end of the year. If approved by the directory, the first auction of waterways will happen in 2014.
