Operating hoursDaylight operations (HD) is the norm; night landings/takeoffs possible only by prior request (PPR) via tel. +55-83-99378-3671 / +55-83-99136-0365, subject to prior coordination for runway lighting. Note: the PAPI (precision approach path indicator) visual glideslope system is NOT yet certified - ANAC archived the homologation request at the end of May 2026 after the airport administration failed to submit required technical documentation, so this is not a homologated night-capable field. Uncontrolled aerodrome (AFIS-type, no tower); ATC/FIR service from SBRE (CINDACTA III). Jet aircraft landings prohibited - turboprop/GA only.
TerminalsSingle small passenger terminal building (inaugurated Aug 20, 2011); no jet bridges or boarding gates, aircraft parked/boarded from apron; no confirmed public Jet A-1/Avgas fuel service on field.

Airport contact
A small, state-government-owned interior Sertao airport homologated by ANAC in 2016 and only commercially activated Aug 1, 2023, when Azul Conecta began subsidized Cessna Grand Caravan (9-seat) service to Recife under Brazil's regional-route support program; frequency was cut from 3x to 2x weekly in Oct 2024 amid low demand (annual traffic in the low hundreds to ~1,200 passengers, per Azul's own first-year route count spanning Aug 2023-Aug 2024 rather than a confirmed calendar-year ANAC total).

Azul Conecta
Self-handled, Azul Conecta — sole scheduled operator at CJZ, flying 9-seat Cessna Grand Caravan turboprops 3x/week to Recife (REC) since Aug 1, 2023. No third-party ground-handling company is documented for this small single-runway state airfield (runway 1,600m, jet operations prohibited per DECEA/AISWEB ROTAER SJZA); at this scale Brazilian regional carriers typically turn their own aircraft, but a dedicated station-handling contract could not be confirmed in airport, ANAC, or press sources.

Governo do Estado da Paraíba (Administração do Aeroporto Regional de Cajazeiras - Pedro Vieira Moreira)
Airport ops point of contact per DECEA AISWEB ROTAER (SJZA): "OPS HN O/R pelos TEL: (•••/ (•••" — field unattended outside published hours, ops/PPR coordination runs via these numbers. Paraiba state government funded the passenger terminal (2011) and runway recovery works (~R$3.32M) and secured ANAC homologation for commercial service (Nov 2016), confirming state administration of the airport; the specific administering department is not documented in available sources (Wikipedia's own infobox leaves the "administração" field blank, and no DER-PB-specific source was found), so it is identified here as the state government generically rather than as DER-PB. No separate FBO or trip-support desk is documented. · O/R (on request) outside published hours
