Cargo handling Unconfirmed
Aena Brasil (BOAB – Bloco Nordeste concession)
Aracaju-Santa Maria handled approximately 2,548 t of cargo in 2025 (Aena Brasil statistics); Aena Brasil's own corporate cargo page lists only Recife's Teca as outsourced (to PacLog) among its Northeast airports, implying Aracaju's cargo terminal (Teca) is operated directly by Aena Brasil itself rather than a named third party — not explicitly stated for Aracaju, so marked unconfirmed.
