Fourth Decade 1995-2006

In the 1990’s, Aeropuertos y Servicios Auxiliares (ASA) underwent structural change upon opening the door to private capital participation in airport operations. 35 airports were divided between four regions to start the foray of private capital into airport operation.

Under this new scenario, the challenge for ASA was to reinvent itself to become an airport and fuel station operator able to compete with international firms.

The 63 fuel stations were lagging 20 years behind and facilities, equipment, systems and training programs were beginning to show signs of obsolescence that demanded urgent modernization.

Faced with this panorama, ASA took advantage of its strengths: the experience of its human capital and the administration and operation of all fuel stations of the Metropolitan Airport System. ASA undertook strategic planning and structural reforms of the sector, proposing infrastructure investment schemes and projects with a regional and sustainable focus.  

By 2007, ASA operates 20 airports and has consolidated a productive, efficient and functional Federal Airport Network. ASA has also become a private-public participation capable to meet the fuel supply needs and to offer consulting services in the international arena.

Currently, ASA plays a driving and strategic role in airport infrastructure development and in emerging participation models with joint responsibility of the state and federal governments and the private sector for the modernization of the facilities, diversification of services and amelioration of finance.
