Azores opens tender to expand Corvo airport terminal and fire station
Azores GuideBuilders have 90 days to bid for the design and construction of a larger terminal and rescue and firefighting building at the aerodrome on the smallest island of the Azores.
The Azores Regional Government has launched an international public tender to design and build an expansion and refurbishment of the terminal and the rescue and firefighting service building at Corvo aerodrome. The Regional Directorate for Public Works launched it on behalf of the Regional Secretariat for Tourism, Mobility and Infrastructure.
Açoriano Oriental puts the base price at 5.1 million euros plus VAT. RTP Açores gives 5.18 million euros. Bids can be submitted for 90 days, through the acinGov electronic platform according to Açoriano Oriental, and the contract will go to the most economically advantageous bid judged on several factors.
In the terminal on Corvo, the smallest island of the Azores, the existing spaces will be expanded and reorganised and the indoor and outdoor areas refurbished. The check-in, security, boarding, arrivals and baggage reclaim areas will be modernised, and accessibility will be improved.
The rescue and firefighting building will get more operational space, garages for emergency vehicles, a command and communications room, changing rooms, rest areas, training rooms and equipment stores.
The work falls under the airport concession to SATA Gestão de Aeródromos signed in September 2025, under which the region keeps responsibility for structural investment.
