France's Vinci submits bids in Brazil airports auction -source

SAO PAULO, March 13 (Reuters) - French group Vinci SA has submitted bids to operate at least two of four Brazilian airports in a government auction this week, a source with knowledge of the matter said on Monday, without detailing which airports.

At least three groups have submitted bids in the auction ahead of a 4 p.m. (1900 GMT) deadline. The bids will be unsealed on Thursday, when the government awards the rights to operate airports in Porto Alegre, Florianopolis, Fortaleza and Salvador.
