Operating hoursDaytime VFR operations; not H24. Runway has night lighting but night ops are PPR-only, requiring phone/email coordination roughly 2h in advance (indicative window 21:00-00:00 local, extendable for emergencies).
TerminalsSingle small passenger terminal (renovated 2013: 4 check-in counters, baggage carousel, X-ray, federal police room) plus a separate general-aviation apron; GRU Airport is now funding terminal/apron expansion (part of a ~R$55.5 million plan) to support regional-jet operations.

Small regional Amazon-fringe/north-Tocantins airport served by Gol (Brasilia, Palmas); commercial service only resumed Oct 23, 2025 after a multi-year recertification hiatus, so ANAC has not yet published a full-year passenger total -- the figure above is a frequency-based estimate, not an audited ANAC figure. GRU Airport (the Guarulhos operator) took over the concession in 2025-26 and is investing to modernize the terminal for jet service.

ESAERO - Empresa de Serviços Aeroportuários Ltda (Esaero Airports)
Airport administrator under municipal contract nº 10/2021 (signed 2021-04-01, R$2.9M/yr, since renewed to R$3.6M through April 2026; predecessor contract nº 003/2015, dated 2016, followed 2015 tender nº 002/2015 that first professionalized the airport's management — no earlier 2006-era arrangement is documented in any source checked). Contract scope covers airport operations, infrastructure and apron/parking coordination (24h advance notice required for GA, air-taxi and official aircraft, per DECEA's AISWEB entry for SWGN, which lists Esaero's phone/email as the coordination contact). A concession for the field was signed with the GRU Airport consortium on 2026-04-14 at the Ministry of Ports and Airports; transfer of operations from Esaero to GRU Airport begins 2026-05-01 (6-month diagnostic phase, then a minimum 15-day operational handover). Passenger check-in and baggage dispatch are handled directly by GOL's own staff, not by Esaero (self-handled, GOL — see separate line).

GOL Linhas Aéreas
Self-handled, GOL: GOL operates its own passenger check-in and baggage-dispatch at Araguaína airport rather than through Esaero, whose municipal contract covers infrastructure and apron coordination but not scheduled-airline passenger handling. GOL is confirmed as the airport's current scheduled carrier by both the Portuguese and English Wikipedia articles for the airport. A prior draft's specific claims of a municipal metrology inspection of GOL's scales and a 2025-10-23 route resumption, plus "3x weekly Palmas-only" frequency, could not be corroborated on re-check (English Wikipedia instead shows a Brasília routing alongside Palmas, and gives a Nov-2025 GRU-Airport handover date that conflicts with the municipality's own 2026-04-14 concession-signing announcement) — those specifics are dropped as unconfirmed; only the self-handling arrangement itself is retained.

ESAERO - Empresa de Serviços Aeroportuários Ltda (Esaero Airports)
Provides aviation security/access control and airfield rescue-and-firefighting (bombeiro de aeródromo / SESCINC) at SWGN: DECEA's AISWEB fire-and-rescue entry for the field lists the Esaero station manager as emergency contact and states aircraft-removal capability up to ATR 72-600 class (13,010kg); consistent with Esaero's own corporate service description (Segurança — ANAC-certified Aviation Civil Protection Agent; Bombeiro de Aeródromo/SESCINC) at grupotw8.aero/empresas/esaero — that corporate page lists only Piauí and Paraná bases and does not itself name SWGN, so station-level evidence rests on the AISWEB listing, not the corporate site.

Localiza Rent a Car
National car-rental chain (Localiza Hertz) represented at Araguaína airport with service hours coordinated to flight arrivals/departures, per the airport's Portuguese Wikipedia infrastructure section (re-confirmed by direct fetch). The aviacaobrasil.com.br page originally cited did not corroborate this claim on re-check, so the citation is corrected to Wikipedia. Unconfirmed whether via a fixed on-site counter or meet-and-greet handover only.

Movida
Car-rental company listing Araguaína airport as a service/pickup point (rentcars.com); independent corroboration (company site, search) was inconclusive on re-check, so this remains a single-source, unconfirmed listing. On-site counter presence unconfirmed, likely delivery/meet-and-greet given the airport's small size.
