Saba: 9 countries & 400,000 parking spaces

EXPANSION IN PORTUGAL

The most significant development operation in 2019 is the award, by ANA Aeroportos de Portugal — Vinci, of the comprehensive management contract for the car park network of Portuguese airports for a period of five years. With the award of the management of the Lisbon, Porto, Faro and Madeira (Funchal and Porto Santo) car parks, Saba has reinforced its international expansion strategy in a market where it is the second largest operator, with a presence in 18 cities in the country.

The airports included in this contract represent for Saba an increase of approximately 14,000 parking spaces in 5 centres as follows: Humberto Delgado Airport (Lisbon), with 6,800 spaces, Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport (Porto), with 3,600 spaces, Faro Airport (Faro) with 2,250 spaces, and Funchal and Porto Santo Airports (Madeira), with a total of 1,300 spaces.

The award represents an increase of 66% in the number of parking spaces it manages, bringing to 35,000 in a total of 45 car parks. This operation also allowed for the benchmark of 400,000 parking spaces to be exceeded for the first time. For Saba, this award represents a natural opportunity for growth and is a perfect industrial fit, since it allows the company to take advantage of operational synergies in the network, while expanding its territorial perimeter and remaining one of the reference operators in Portugal.

This growth operation has led to an increase of 66% in the number of parking spaces in Portugal, and to exceeding 400,000 for the first time in the Group as a whole

ANA Aeroportos de Portugal—Vinci has put its trust in the Saba group after accrediting its solid experience in similar types of car park management, such as the 73 centres in 14 car parks in the Mediterranean Lot of Aena, in Spain, the Italian airport of Brindisi, as well as the parking infrastructure of the Santiago de Chile airport.
