According to Seinfra, in November studies were carried out for the Expression of Interest Procedure (PMI) for the Pampulha airport, as the Carlos Drummond de Andrade terminal is known. These surveys will shape the private sector airport expansion, operation and maintenance project. Public consultations for the association are expected to begin in February 2021 and the bidding process is expected to take place in the first half of next year.

For the government of Minas to organize the concession, the Pampulha airport was formally delegated to the state, although it continues to be operated by the Brazilian Government Infrastructure Company Aeroporturia (Infraero), which still assumes all administration and maintenance costs. . With the planned investments, the expectation is that the airport will become the largest executive aviation terminal in the country, boosting the business market and real estate development in the region.

J for him Felippe Drummond Journalist Study, Mineirinho, with the intention that private capital assumes full long-term management (between 30 and 35 years), makes the investments in infrastructure necessary for modernization and transforms the gym into a large event and gastronomy center. In recent years, the country’s largest indoor stadium has been the scene of volleyball team disputes, but has received few shows. Most of them are on the Mineiro esplanade, in front of the gym on Avenida Antnio Abraho Caram.

TO State of Minas, The secretary of Seinfra, Fernando Marcato, lamented the current situation in Mineirinho, said he believed in the potential of the equipment for the development of the capital, but highlighted the vocation of the structure to be explored by the private sector. Marcato revealed that the company that operates the gym Los angeles lakers, one of the most important basketball teams in the United States, is very interested in the Pampulha Stadium.

“From what we propose, BH would enter the mandatory route for international events with Mineirinho remodeled. Well explored sand can be the setting for great shows. D have Jack Johnson on Monday, U2 on Thursday, Iron Maiden on Saturday. It is absurd that we have a structure in chaos so that the state can maintain and explore it. Imagine a public servant who has to negotiate with international producers the conditions to bring a rock star to the city or sell the “management rights” of the stadium. This depends on the state, ”he said.

The secretary argues that the Mineirinho concession is advantageous for the state, as it would eliminate the fixed costs of maintaining the structure, which could be directed to other priority areas. It also highlights the potential to increase business.

Fernando Marcato considers that Pampulha has a strong attractive potential, since it is an architectural heritage cataloged by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (Unesco), in addition to being a developed area and in good infrastructure condition . Seinfra maintains that cooperation with the Belo Horizonte City Council (PBH) is essential for the success of the project of making the region a hub of events. “We have to define mobility, which is a question of bus lines, which requires an important dialogue with the city and BHTrans.”

Though developed separately, Seinfra notes that the airport and Mineirinho grants are complementary plans that together can bring about complete change in the region. “The projects are underway, since we will have an executive tourism that passes through the airport for events in Mineirinho. The artist can land with his jet in Pampulha and in five minutes he is in Mineirinho. There are two crucial projects for the development of Pampulha ”, concludes Marcato.
