VINCI Airports, the Ille-et-Vilaine CCI, and SEALAR chosen to ensure the modernization and development of the Rennes and Dinard Bretagne airports"
The consortium brings an ambitious and sustainable project for the development of the Rennes and Dinard Bretagne airports. This project was designed to meet the high expectations expressed by the local authority and its residents: strengthening connectivity options, modernizing infrastructure and services, accelerating the environmental transition, and achieving financial autonomy.
Following a competitive bidding process lasting nearly two years, the bid submitted by VINCI Airports, the Ille-et-Vilaine CCI, and SEALAR for the management of the Rennes and Dinard Bretagne airports has been chosen by the elected officials of the Regional Council.
The choice made by the Brittany Region reflects renewed confidence in a model that combines the operational expertise of VINCI Airports - the world’s leading private airport operator- with the local roots of the Ille-et-Vilaine CCI and SEALAR. Together, the partners will work to strengthen the airport's positive impact on the residents, businesses, and tourism economy of the region.
The future public service delegation now opens a new era of modernization and sustainable development for Brittany's public airport service. In line with the expectations expressed by the Brittany Region, the partners will implement a viable and sustainable project based on four priorities:
- Strengthening the region's national and international connectivity.
- Modernizing the airport and improving the quality of service offered to passengers and airlines.
- Accelerating the decarbonization of the hubs' activities.
- Achieving financial autonomy for operations.
The project features an ambitious development plan at both the national and especially the international level.
In this regard, the 2026 flight schedule already foreshadows this ambition, with 15 destinations offered via direct flights operated by 8 airlines. This includes the opening of new routes (Ajaccio, Bastia, Seville), the return of strategic destinations (Dublin and Manchester), and increased frequencies in several key markets (London Gatwick, Marseille, Nice).
Nearly 200 destinations are also accessible via connecting flights, thanks to links to the airport hubs of Paris Charles-de-Gaulle and Amsterdam-Schiphol.
The airport modernization project will be unveiled in the fall of 2026 by the President of the Brittany Region and the members of the Consortium.
Nicolas Notebaert, Chief Executive Officer of VINCI Concessions and President of VINCI Airports, stated: "we welcome the Brittany Region’s decision to choose the project we are leading alongside the Ille-et-Vilaine CCI. It reflects the quality of our long-standing partnership with the local authority. We are both honored and bound by this trust. Now, it is time to get to work on modernizing and developing both platforms in a way that fully leverages their specific features and complementarity: Rennes as the gateway to Brittany, serving the mobility of residents and businesses, and Dinard as an industrial center of excellence, contributing to employment and local economic drive."
Jean-Philippe Crocq, President of the Ille-et-Vilaine CCI, added: "this decision is excellent news for Brittany and its economy. The Rennes and Dinard airports are strategic infrastructures for our region's attractiveness. We are particularly proud that the Region has chosen a project that combines economic ambition, environmental responsibility, and tourism development. As shareholders and operational partners, the Ille-et-Vilaine CCI and SEALAR will fully play their part in turning these two platforms into true drivers of Breton economic development, serving businesses, residents, and communities."
