Aerocali

What Aerocali does

Aerocali S.A. is a privately held Colombian corporation (sociedad anónima) founded in 2000 that operated as the sole concessionaire of the Aeropuerto Internacional Alfonso Bonilla Aragón, the international airport serving Santiago de Cali in Valle del Cauca. Under Concession Contract No. 058-CON-2000 with Colombia's National Infrastructure Agency (Agencia Nacional de Infraestructura, ANI), the company administered, operated, and maintained the airport's infrastructure for approximately 25 years, handling passenger services, runway and terminal operations, and aviation logistics for the Cali metropolitan region.

The concession terminated on August 31, 2025 upon natural expiration, with the Unidad Administrativa Especial de Aeronáutica Civil assuming responsibility for airport administration effective September 1, 2025. As a result, Aerocali's core product — full-scope airport administration services — has been transferred to a public-sector entity, and the company has relocated its offices from Palmira to a smaller corporate presence at Calle 10 No. 4-47, Piso 16, Edificio Corficolombiana in Cali. Aerocali retains only residual corporate functions including a compliance PTEE program, an ethics line, and a Habeas Data personal data protection policy.

The company's revenue model was anchored entirely on the single government concession contract, with revenue mechanics derived from airport fees, commercial concessions, and infrastructure management under that contract. With the concession's expiration and transfer to Aeronáutica Civil, no replacement operating business, new concession, customer base, or pricing structure has been disclosed. The entity continues to exist legally but has lost its sole revenue-generating asset, leaving go-to-market and forward earnings mechanics undefined in the available data.
