Mexican airport operator Asur is interested in bidding for the Natal airport in northeastern Brazil, a move that would give it prime access to thousands of travelers ahead of the soccer World Cup and Olympics. "We are definitely interested (in Brazil) ... as well as other airports in the region," the head of Asur, Fernando Chico Pardo, said on Tuesday. "We are interested in sales or privatizations in the region ... like Puerto Rico and Guatemala, although there is nothing set yet." Natal is expected to be one of at least a dozen cities across Brazil, Latin America's leading economy and home to some of history's most famous soccer stars, to host World Cup matches in 2014.
