Over the past decade, the growth of the aviation sector, coupled with insufficient infrastructure investment, resulted in the need for expansion and modernization of airports, causing the Federal Government to initiate its concession plan for its main airports in Brazil. This paper aims to analyze the selection, prioritization and monitoring processes of the project portfolio of an airport concession in the light of the project portfolio management theory, in order to contribute to the improvement of its internal procedures, boosting the company's competitiveness and productivity. The development of the proposal is based on analyses of three sources of evidence: observation, interviews and literature. These analyses intended to support the development of a proposal for the processes of selection, prioritization and monitoring of projects, which should be suitable for the characteristics of the industry and in line with the concessionaire's business objectives, improving governance and transparency. The proposal also sought to identify criteria for the assessment and prioritization of projects tailored to the company's needs, as well as to work out the issue of maintenance and review of the project portfolio. This study seeks to help build knowledge from an increased number of reports on the selection, prioritization and maintenance of projects in Brazilian airports, and to collaborate with companies and professionals in similar situations, assisting them in applying this knowledge to better understand other cases.
