Egis, in partnership with Alyse Guyane, Caisse des Dépôts, has taken over the management of Cayenne Félix-Éboué Airport with a 30-year contract.
As part of the new management agreement, a EUR 85 million investment project will commence, with aims to improve the passenger experience. The areas of investment will include security, border control, boarding zones, and retail spaces, and completion is expected by 2029.
“Cayenne Félix Eboué Airport becomes the 21st airport in which Egis is both a shareholder and operating partner—and our first on the American continent,” said Pierre-Yves Massille, CEO Consulting and Operations at Egis. “We are honoured by the trust placed in us by the French State and by the opportunity to lead a resolutely sustainable project that serves the region and its people.”
The airport handles close to 500,000 passengers a year and acts as a key gateway for French Guiana, operating both regional and international flights. It is a particularly important hub for economic and social development, as the road and rail networks are still developing.
Sustainability will also be a goal for Egis, with hopes to obtain ISO 14001 and 50001 certifications, and even Airport Carbon Accreditation 4+ certification by 2030.
