Airport contact
Domestic-only regional gateway to the Fernando de Noronha archipelago (UNESCO World Heritage marine park, ICMBio-managed, visitor cap ~132,000/yr); jet service by Azul, Gol and LATAM Brasil resumed March 2025 (after an Oct-2022-Mar-2025 ANAC suspension) once initial runway rebuild works were completed; turboprops (Azul Conecta/Voepass ATR-72) also serve the route; only 1,755 m of the runway is usable for landing/takeoff, the last 90 m being closed due to the absence of a RESA; no aviation fuel is normally available on the island so aircraft typically tanker fuel for the return leg to the mainland.
