Services

Available On request / PPR Seasonal / ageing Unconfirmed / not listed
Ground handling Unconfirmed
In Solo Handling
Real Brazilian ground-handling company; contact details (phone, email, HQ address Rua João Wyclif 111, Londrina-PR) verified directly against insolohandling.com's own site. That site's own "Bases Atendidas" page lists ONLY Londrina as a served base -- Imperatriz is NOT on the company's official station list. Original sourcing cited plane-spotter social posts tagging SBIZ with INSOLO/LATAM turnarounds; LATAM does run scheduled service into IMP, so a contracted local handling role is plausible, but treat this as unconfirmed field evidence, not an official station listing.

Aircraft fuel Unconfirmed
Shell Brasil (Shell Aviation)
Shell-branded aviation fuel in Brazil is actually operated under license by Raízen (confirmed via trade press: Raízen/Shell run a nationwide aircraft-refuelling WhatsApp scheduling service covering "todo o Brasil"), so the brand is real and broadly active in-country. Could not independently re-confirm the specific shell.com.br station-list snippet naming "Imperatriz Airport - Prefeito Renato Moreira, MA" -- the cited page was unreachable and no Imperatriz-specific Shell/Raízen citation was found. Every commercial airport needs a fuel supplier, so this is plausible, but status is downgraded to unconfirmed pending a station-specific source.

Cargo handling Available · 2 providers
Azul Cargo Express
Azul Cargo Express (Azul's logistics/cargo division) is documented with a physical office at the airport address: Av. Moacyr Spósito Ribeiro, 8 - Aeroporto, Imperatriz-MA, ••• (Waze business listing). Azul operates scheduled passenger service into IMP and maintains cargo counters at essentially every city it serves in Brazil, consistent with a local presence here; the Waze listing itself was not re-accessed, so treat the exact address as sourced-but-unconfirmed rather than verified against Azul's own site.

LATAM Cargo Brasil
CONFIRMED directly: LATAM Cargo Brasil opened a dedicated cargo terminal at Imperatriz Airport. Trade-press source located and read (AEROIN, 21 Aug 2017, headline "LATAM Cargo Brasil inaugura novo Terminal de Cargas em Imperatriz"): "LATAM Cargo Brasil, unidade de cargas da LATAM Airlines Brasil, inaugura hoje (21) seu novo Terminal de Cargas no aeroporto de Imperatriz (MA). Com investimentos de R$ 390,8 mil, o terminal teve a área operacional ampliada...". Strongest-evidenced entry in this set; category (cargo, not ground_handling) is correct.

Localiza Rent a Car
Localiza (Brazil's largest car-rental chain) is documented with a counter at the airport: Av. Moacyr Spósito Ribeiro, 2 - Aeroporto, Imperatriz-MA, ••• (Google Business listing, 488 reviews cited in original sourcing). Not re-accessed (localiza.com endpoints tried returned 404), but Localiza maintains counters at essentially all mid-size Brazilian commercial airports and IMP (LATAM + Azul jet service, regional agribusiness hub) fits that profile; available for crew and passenger ground transport. Category correctly pax_crew_transport, not a separate flight_support/FBO claim.
