Eurico de Aguiar Salles Airport

The airport was built in the 1930s and in 1943 a concrete runway and a passenger terminal were built. In 2005 renovation works started at the airport. Projects included a passenger terminal located on a second runway and a control tower. The old terminal was converted into an international cargo terminal. The construction costed initially BRL 300 million, was paralyzed several times in 2006 and 2007 leaving construction virtually abandoned and delayed by overpricing and diversion of funds. It was finished in April 2018. Between 1975 and 2019 it was managed by Infraero. On March 15, 2019 Flughafen Zürich AG won a 30-year concession to operate the airport. ==Airlines and destinations==
