JCDecaux S.A. (Euronext Paris: DEC), the number one outdoor advertising company worldwide, announces today that it has won, following a competitive tender, the 10 year exclusive advertising concession for the São Paulo Guarulhos International Airport.

As of 11 July, JCDecaux will be responsible for advertising operations in three terminals as well as the approach roads to the airport in the economic capital city of Brazil, with a population of 20 million. In addition to the immediate commercialisation of current installations, JCDecaux will transform the media offer to meet leading international standards by investing in new premium and innovative displays to modernise the airport’s image. The Group will also continue the airport’s digitisation and introduce a scientific approach to selling advertising space through the development of audience clusters, to better meet the new expectations of advertisers and their agencies.

With 36.6 million passengers in 2016 and more than 40 airlines in service, the São Paulo Guarulhos International Airport is the first airport and a genuine hub for South America. The airport was privatised in 2012 and is 51%-owned by Grupar (Invepar/Airport Company South Africa consortium) and 49%-owned by Infraero. A complete refurbishment was recently done to welcome visitors to the 2014 Football World Cup and a major share of transit for the Rio de Janeiro 2016 Olympic Games.

With a presence in more than 220 airports of which 10 are in the top 15 worldwide, JCDecaux, the number one airport advertising company worldwide, covers almost one out of three passengers of an air traffic worldwide which grew 4.5% in 2016. This new contract will be JCDecaux’s fifth airport from the Latin American top 10 to its portfolio, and the fourth in Brazil after Rio de Janeiro, Brasilia and Natal, just a few weeks after winning the advertising concession for the Tocumen International Airport in Panama City. JCDecaux, which has also recently announced that it has won the tender for the São Paulo metro, further strengthens its position in this city where it already operates 1,000 advertising smart clocks since 2012.
