Presidente João Suassuna Airport CPV / SBKG

Self-handled. Azul is confirmed as an operating carrier at SBKG (ICAO AZU, check-in counter code AD) on Aena Brasil's official "Companhias aéreas" page, with multiple scheduled ATR-72 departures. No third-party ground handler is named anywhere in the airport's official tenant/services list, consistent with self-handling.

Self-handled. GOL is confirmed as an operating carrier at SBKG (ICAO GLO, check-in counter code G3) on Aena Brasil's official "Companhias aéreas" page. No third-party ground-handling company appears anywhere in the airport's official tenant/services listing, consistent with self-handling, but the precise arrangement (fully in-house vs. informal mutual assistance with Azul) is not independently confirmed.

Listed as "Air BP - Abastecimento de Aeronaves" (aircraft fuelling) on Aena Brasil's official Campina Grande "Lojas e serviços" tenant page, 24h, phone (••• — independently re-confirmed directly on aenabrasil.com.br (phone matches). SBKG is served only by scheduled turboprop (ATR-72) operations, consistent with Jet A-1 into-plane fuelling; AVGAS availability could not be independently confirmed and is presumed unavailable at this station (the specific quoted line attributed to a "capacity declaration" in an earlier draft could not be sourced and has been dropped — see note on the Aena Brasil flight_support entry). · 24h

No dedicated third-party cabin-cleaning contractor is listed for SBKG; standard practice at self-handled Brazilian regional outstations is in-house turnaround cabin cleaning by the operating carrier's own ramp crew — plausible but not independently documented for this station.

Plausibly operates its own PRM boarding equipment (e.g. an ambulift-type unit) for ATR-72 turnarounds at SBKG, consistent with self-handling regional ATR operations generally. An earlier draft cited specific named "AVIRAMP" equipment at particular gate stands (1-A/1-B/3-A/3-B), sourced to an SBKG capacity declaration that could not be located or verified to exist — that level of detail has been removed as unconfirmed rather than presented as documented fact.

No dedicated cargo terminal (TECA) operator is documented for this small regional airport, consistent with belly-hold mail/cargo being carried and processed by the operating airlines themselves rather than a separate handler. Attribution to Azul specifically is inferred from its dominant scheduled-carrier position at SBKG, not independently confirmed. A specific 2024 cargo-tonnage figure cited in an earlier draft could not be sourced and has been removed.

Aena Brasil, the Spanish-led concessionaire that has operated SBKG since 2020 under its Brazilian Northeast airport concession, is contractually responsible for aviation security (AVSEC) provision under its ANAC concession. Whether screening staff are in-house Aena personnel or a named subcontractor is not confirmed on the airport's own site.

Aena Brasil runs an online prior-permission landing/take-off request portal for general aviation at its Brazilian airports (agendamentopouso.aenabrasil.com.br, "Formulário de Pouso - AENA BRASIL" — confirmed live and functional); SBKG general-aviation movements require PPR coordination through this portal or by phone/e-mail with the airport operations office. Note: an earlier draft cited a specific SBKG "Declaração de Capacidade W26 (25/10/2026-27/03/2027)" as the source for this and several other facts — that document could not be located, and its stated end date (27/03/2027) does not match the actual last Sunday of the March 2027 IATA season boundary (28/03/2027), an internal-consistency error typical of a fabricated citation. That specific document reference has been removed; the PPR requirement itself is retained only on the strength of the independently-verified booking portal.
