Peru's private investment promotion agency ProInversión is set to award the US$658 million Cusco airport concession on 25 April. There are currently seven prequalified consortiums, including firms from the US, France, Germany and Korea. However, the names will not be released until the economic and technical bids are presented on 22 April.

The 40-year, co-financed concession for Cusco's Chinchero international airport involves the design, construction, financing, operation and maintenance of the facility. The terminal will replace Cusco's existing Alejandro Velasco Astete terminal and is expected to handle 2.6 million passengers annually by 2021.

This will be the ProInversión's second big infrastructure project to be awarded this year, following the US$6.5 billion Lima metro line 2 concession in March.
