DIX Aeroportos

What DIX Aeroportos does

DIX Aeroportos (legal name: DIX ADMINISTRAÇÃO DE AEROPORTOS) is a Brazilian airport management company founded in 2003 and operating under the Agemar holding group, which has more than 40 years of infrastructure and logistics experience. The company manages approximately 19 airports across Brazil's Norte (Belém-PA, Macapá-AP via the Norte da Amazônia Airports / NOA consortium with Socicam), Nordeste (Fernando de Noronha, Caruaru, Serra Talhada, Garanhuns, and Araripina in Pernambuco), and Sudeste (13 regional airports across São Paulo state plus Búzios in Rio de Janeiro) regions. Its three core service lines are: (1) Airport Operation, covering terminal management, specialized labor, hangar construction, and turnkey airport solutions including supply chain and modular construction; (2) Consulting, focused on airport and heliport certification and homologation, Master Plan development, aerodrome protection zone planning, and SESCINC implementation projects under ANAC, SAC, and CINDACTA frameworks; and (3) EPTA Operation, providing infrastructure and specialized workforce for passenger transport stations.

The company generates revenue through multi-year government concession contracts awarded via competitive bidding, regulated tariff schedules (e.g., published Fernando de Noronha tariffs subject to public consultation), and B2B service agreements with airlines for ground support, hangar facilities, and terminal services. Its go-to-market is enterprise field sales to government counterparties, with channel partnerships through the Consórcio Novo Norte (Socicam) for international airport operations. The capital structure is private with no equity listing, but the company has accessed Brazilian capital markets through multiple public debenture issuances under CVM Resolution 160 (2023 x2, 2024 via SPE Novo Norte, 2025), and operates a formal LGPD-compliant data protection program and a certified compliance and integrity framework validated by Pernambuco's State Controller General in 2025.
