Belo Horizonte/Confins - Tancredo Neves International Airport CNF / SBCF

Primary third-party ground/ramp handler at Belo Horizonte-Confins since 2008; independently confirmed handling Azul at CNF (Swissport's Azul ground-handling operation at Confins won a Category A operational-excellence award, the tier covering the largest/most complex Brazilian stations); also documented as the ground handling agent for GOL and LATAM flights at CNF per Swissport's network listing, though that specific pairing was not.

Documented aviation-fuel distributor at Aeroporto Internacional Tancredo Neves/Confins (Rod. MG-010, Confins/MG), per Vibra's own aviation fuel network listing; Vibra's BR Aviation brand is confirmed present at 89 Brazilian airports generally, though a CNF-specific listing page could not be independently re-located. Into-plane operating agent at CNF not separately named in sources found.

CNF is confirmed as GOL's home maintenance base (Wikipedia: 'the main maintenance facilities of Gol Airlines are located at this airport'), making in-house line/transit maintenance for GOL's based aircraft likely; not separately documented from the base-maintenance sources found. Self-handled, GOL.

145,000 m² MRO base at CNF, independently confirmed as one of the largest aircraft maintenance centers in Latin America (multiple sources); Engine Shop confirmed dual-release ANAC/EASA/FAA certified (Panama AAC certification not), performing heavy checks, painting, engine/wheel/brake shop work and NDT on Boeing 737 and Airbus aircraft for GOL's own fleet and, since 2019, third-party airline customers as a standalone business unit. Hangar-use contract renewal with BH Airport for a further 20 years independently confirmed by Brazilian aviation trade press.

Wheels & brakes shop — in-house, GOL Aerotech; 100% of GOL's Boeing wheels and brakes pass through this shop, using chemical-bath and ultrasonic NDT to detect cracks/fissures on brakes, plus tyre/nitrogen-inflation servicing; company states ANAC/FAA/EASA approvals held at group level, exact class rating unconfirmed. · 24h, Mon-Fri

Engine shop — in-house, GOL Aerotech; dedicated workshop performs engine inspection/module-level work (CFM56/JT8D-family per Classic/NG/767 fleets) as part of the site's six repair-and-inspection workshops; class rating unconfirmed. · 24h, Mon-Fri

Composite/structures/sheet-metal shop — in-house, GOL Aerotech; metal-structure repair workshop plus specialised acrylic windshield/window polishing and windshield-frame replacement developed jointly with Boeing; class rating unconfirmed. · 24h, Mon-Fri

Flight kitchen based at the passenger terminal, Rodovia LMG-800, Aeroporto Internacional Tancredo Neves, Confins/MG, producing approximately 3,000 in-flight meals at CNF; part of the RA Catering network historically serving nine Brazilian airports. Ownership correction: International Meal Company (IMC) completed the sale of RA Catering to Aerovip on 29 Jul 2026 (R$20M deal, reported by Valor/Globo 4 Aug 2026) - this pre-dates the verification date above, so IMC is no longer the parent; the CNF kitchen itself continues operating under the RA Catering brand.

Aircraft cabin/interior cleaning is typically bundled into Swissport's ramp-handling contracts industry-wide; no CNF-specific service breakdown was accessible (Swissport's own CNF service list requires a login), so this is inferred, not directly documented.

Airport concessionaire (since the 2014 privatisation) self-operates the airport's cargo terminal and Multimodal Logistics Hub: 12,000 m² of bonded warehouse area confirmed, plus cold-storage chambers for pharma/perishables (exact -18°C to 22°C / 3,131 m² figures per BH Airport's own cargo pages, not). Terminal moved 35,000 tonnes Jan-Sep 2025, +24.6% YoY, per BH Airport reporting.

Confirmed to operate its own dedicated cargo terminal (TECA) at Aeroporto Internacional de Confins, inaugurated 21 January as GOL's air-cargo handling facility at CNF, located at LMG-800/Condados da Lagoa, weekday hours 07:00-22:00 and Saturday 07:00-15:00; separate from the airport operator's own bonded terminal. DHL Express also operates from the same location.

Swissport Brasil is listed as the FBO/Handler of record for CNF in the Business Air News International Handlers Handbook, implying a flight-ops/handling desk; the detailed service list (flight planning, permits) is behind a paywall and could not be confirmed.
