Carrasco International Airport ? Puerta del Sur S.A.
On May 15, PdS signed an amendment to its concession agreement to include part of the building of the old passenger terminal of the Carrasco International Airport into the concession, in which PdS plans to invest approximately $5.5 million to expand its cargo activities, in particular, pharma and courier.

"We are pleased to have received approval for these projects at the Carrasco Airport and for the extension of the Punta del Este Concession Agreement for an additional period of ten years. This deepens our commitment to continue enhancing the development of Uruguay's aeronautical industry and building on our strategy to provide a unique travel experience to the approximately 2 million passengers traveling through our airports annually.
