Zurich Airport has agreed to sell its 12.75% minority stake in Brazil’s international airport of Belo Horizonte for a net gain of approximately CHF 17 million.
The disposal, expected to close in the coming months pending regulatory approvals, will be to Aeropuerto de Cancún, a subsidiary of Mexican airport operator ASUR. Zurich Airport first acquired the indirect stake in 2013 as a minority investor.
The transaction reflects Zurich Airport’s strategic shift toward majority holdings with direct operational oversight, the company said. The anticipated one-time gain represents about 5% of the airport operator’s CHF 346 million net profit reported for 2025.
Zurich Airport operates Zurich Airport as its core asset and has pursued selective international investments in recent years, including majority stakes in airports in Latin America and Europe.
