Airport contact
Sole scheduled carrier is Azul Conecta, operating a subsidized (PPP/rede de aviação regional) turboprop route linking Aripuanã to Juína and the Mato Grosso capital Cuiabá (~2h55 flight, one of Azul Conecta's longest routes); the airport is a small daylight-only Amazon-interior strip with no formal international/customs function, reflecting its role as a lifeline connection for an otherwise road-isolated municipality. Passenger total is an estimate (no disaggregated ANAC figure located for this aerodrome); ICAO SSOU per DECEA/AISWEB and confirmed by independent cross-reference (OurAirports, English Wikipedia) supersedes the SWRP code found on a conflicting secondary source (pt.wikipedia), which actually belongs to Pousada Santa Rosa Airport, a separate private lodge airstrip elsewhere in Mato Grosso.

Prefeitura Municipal de Aripuanã (Secretaria Municipal de Infraestrutura) – Administração do Aeroporto Comandante Amauri Furquim
Municipal government self-administers the Aeroporto Municipal Comandante Amauri Furquim via the Secretaria Municipal de Infraestrutura, which acts as concedente/licitação authority for the field (confirmed via municipal tender records for Concorrência Pública 2/2022 and ••• as the airport-contracts contact); it is the only administrative presence at this small single-runway municipal field, providing baseline airfield/apron administration under which Azul Conecta and ASTA self-handle their own turnarounds — no dedicated third-party ramp handler is documented at this airport.

Azul Conecta
Self-handled, Azul Conecta — the airline's regional subsidiary operates scheduled turnaround AD-5339 (Aripuanã–Juína–Cuiabá, Mon–Fri) using its fleet, which is exclusively Cessna Grand Caravan (C208B), not ATR 72-600 as sometimes assumed — the ATR-72-600 is flown by mainline Azul, a separate operating certificate; Azul Conecta serves roughly 60 cities nationwide from regional hubs including Cuiabá. No separate third-party ramp handler is documented at this small municipal field, consistent with Azul Conecta's standard self-handling model at low-volume MT stations.

ASTA Linhas Aéreas (América do Sul Táxi Aéreo)
Self-handled, ASTA Linhas Aéreas — Mato Grosso-based regional/air-taxi carrier (operating since 1995, ANAC-authorised Dec 2009 for scheduled/charter service, IATA 0A / ICAO AMS, based at Cuiabá) flying Cessna Grand Caravan shared-seat ('assentos compartilhados') services between Cuiabá and Aripuanã, confirmed via multiple 2024-era Mato Grosso news reports of the route's relaunch; as a small single-type operator (3 aircraft) it handles its own aircraft turnarounds at this field, with no evidence of a separate contracted ground handler.

Helpjet Comercial Ltda
Helpjet Comercial Ltda (aviation-fuel reseller founded 1996, CNPJ 01.543.299/0006-06 branch registered in Aripuanã/MT since Oct 2022) operates the Posto de Abastecimento de Combustíveis para Aeronaves at Aeroporto Comandante Amauri Furquim, built under the Município's Concorrência Pública 2/2022 15-year concession; the post was inaugurated in July 2024, with its first fueling performed for an Azul flight on the Cuiabá–Aripuanã route, and Aripuanã remains listed as one of Helpjet's active fuel bases (alongside Ubatuba, Avaré, Paraty, Itanhaém and Pouso Alegre) as of August 2026, with a named local contact (Leonardo) — supersedes the earlier tankered-fuel assumption for this field.
