Aviation security Unconfirmed
Socicam
CORRECTED: Socicam has administered Porto Seguro airport since Feb 2025 under a stated 12-month contract, per the airport's own "sobre-nos" page (portoseguro-aero.com.br/sobre-nos) - that page explicitly does NOT mention a 5-year concession win in June 2026 (the draft's claim was checked directly against the source and is unsupported/fabricated, so it has been removed) and contains no information at all about who runs terminal security/screening. Socicam-as-operator self-providing security is a plausible inference for a small regional Brazilian airport but is not confirmed by any source found.

Localiza Rent A Car
CORRECTED: Car-rental counter inside the BPS terminal (Desembarque Hall, Estrada do Aeroporto, Cidade Alta). The airport's own "Lojas e Serviços" tenant listing (portoseguro-aero.com.br/lojas-e-servicos) - the very source cited by the draft - actually gives hours as 07:00-20:00 and phone •••, NOT 24 hours as the draft claimed; the 24-hour claim has been removed as unsupported/contradicted by its own cited source. Serves general passengers and could serve crews; aviation-specific crew contract unconfirmed. · 07:00-20:00

Universal Aviation
FBO/trip-support desk for SBPS covering permit coordination, customs/immigration and airport-authority liaison, and ground transportation, confirmed live on Universal Aviation's own SBPS location page (universalaviation.aero/locations/brazil/porto-seguro-sbps). Listed contact is Marcia Taue (•••), titled Operations Manager on that page - note she appears to be a Universal Aviation Brazil operations manager based in Guarulhos/Sao Paulo (per her public profile) rather than staff physically resident at Porto Seguro, so treat as the named company contact for this station rather than a confirmed on-site local hire.
