ESG

The New Parnaíba Airport project was born with a deep concern for sustainability. In addition to a commitment to measuring and offsetting its emissions, AeroPHB is deeply concerned with generating an impact on the lives of people in its surroundings and in Piauí.

From a climate and environmental point of view, AeroPHB managers have extensive experience in developing projects to reduce and offset emissions and this know-how will be used to shape investments and operations at Parnaíba airport.

Responsibility for the environment and the climate is a central theme in our activities and, therefore, AeroPHB will seek to adopt the best business practices, in accordance with the 2030 agenda and in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement, such as:

  • Technologies with lower energy consumption;
  • Alternative energy consumption;
  • Selective collection of solid waste;
  • GHG emissions inventory;
  • Compensation of GHG emissions;

From the social point of view, the New Parnaíba Airport will generate positive impacts, resulting from the concession, namely:

  • Improvement in the level of service provided to passengers, in line with national and global standards;
  • Improvement in the operating conditions of airlines and service providers, enabling the expansion of the number of frequencies and airport connectivity;
  • Improvement in the safety conditions in the operation of the Airport through the improvement of air navigation and signaling equipment, control of avifauna, among others, reducing the risk of accidents in the air or in the perimeter of the airport site;
  • Adequate treatment of possible conflicts with the surroundings of the Airport (which is sometimes made unfeasible by the delay inherent in decisions involving public bodies);
  • Improved control of activities that take place within the airport site;
  • Adequate treatment of environmental issues that affect the Airport, including liabilities;
  • Efficiency gains derived from the transfer of operations to the private entity;
  • Impact on the real estate market due to the appreciation of land close to the Airport and ancillary investments in the construction of new real estate developments adjacent to the Airport;
  • Creation of shopping, entertainment, food and leisure options for the municipality of Parnaíba and for tourists in the coastal region of Piauí;
  • Generation of employment and income for the region with the expansion of economic activity generated by the viability and greater operation of the Airport;
  • Possibility of generating new business;
  • Creation of a space for economic and social integration, with a leisure and cultural area at the Airport, thus bringing not only passengers, but also the community of Parnaíba and surrounding municipalities;
  • Fostering the creation of schools and technical courses for training and manpower that will be able to meet the demand of the aeronautical industry in the state of Piauí;
  • Expansion of taxes to be collected at the municipal, state and federal level; 

As a conclusion to the proposed model, AeroPHB was responsible for adapting the passenger terminal, bringing more modern concepts suited to the requirements of the tourism sector, in addition to also carrying out improvements to the runway infrastructure (new aircraft yard) to be able to operate with instruments.

Additionally, we will invest in expanding the passenger terminal and building an air cargo terminal to encourage logistical movement.

Furthermore, AeroPHB signed a mandatory investment commitment of over 70 million and maintenance expenses of over 40 million. In addition, with the development of the project, investments of over 130 million are estimated in additional real estate equipment – shopping center, hotel, area for car rental companies, future expansion to an international area, etc.

Such investment dynamics will generate over 120 direct jobs and many more indirectly – not counting the jobs linked to ancillary investments.

It is important to note the expected increase in tax collection, which will increase the capacity of public agents to act, given that the New Parnaíba Airport project will generate a large increase in tax revenue for the region and the state.

Finally, since its inception, AeroPHB has adopted the best compliance practices in its activities, as well as the control of its operations and transparency with investors and civil society.
