The airport management company Vinci Airports, which operates in Europe, Asia, Latin America and North America, has acquired for USD 1.17 billion dollars a 29.99% stake (Fintech stake) in Grupo Aeroportuario del Centro Norte (Oma), which manages 13 airports in Mexico, thus becoming its largest shareholder. This is a move that solidifies the company's position as a private operator on the continent.
The operation follows the signing of a pre-agreement signed in July 2022. It is an investment that aims to take control of airports with a high growth rate. In fact, the volume of passenger traffic at the airports managed by the Oma Group since July has outperformed the levels prior to the pandemic: meanwhile, in the first 11 months of 2022 21 million passengers passed through (99% compared to 2019) and flights to and from 170 destinations.
