Azul Linhas Aéreas
Azul operates scheduled service at IOS (routes to Confins/MG, Campinas/SP and Salvador/BA confirmed via Wikipedia's current IOS route list, cross-checked in both English and Portuguese editions). Brazilian mainline carriers typically self-handle their own ramp/passenger services at smaller regional stations rather than contracting third-party handlers; no third-party handling company was found for IOS in this search, so self-handling is noted as the likely (in-house) arrangement -- unconfirmed at station level, no specific handling contract document located.

GOL Linhas Aéreas
GOL operates scheduled service at IOS to Rio de Janeiro-Galeão, São Paulo-Congonhas and São Paulo-Guarulhos, confirmed via Wikipedia's current IOS route list. As with other mainline Brazilian carriers, GOL typically self-handles ramp/passenger operations (in-house) at regional stations of this size; no named third-party ground handler found for IOS, so this is noted as self-handled/in-house -- unconfirmed at station level.

LATAM Airlines Brasil
LATAM operates scheduled service at IOS to São Paulo-Congonhas and São Paulo-Guarulhos, confirmed via Wikipedia's current IOS route list. LATAM's own self-service/self-bag-drop program is documented as expanding across Brazilian domestic airports, consistent with self-handling at smaller stations like IOS, though no IOS-specific handling contract or in-house confirmation was located -- unconfirmed at station level.

Vibra Energia / BR Aviation
BR Aviation (Petrobras-licensed brand operated by Vibra Energia) is Brazil's dominant Jet A-1 into-plane distributor, present at roughly 89-90 Brazilian airports nationwide, making it the most likely supplier at SBIL. A prior check of DECEA's AISWEB aerodrome record was reviewed for a fuel line item but did not clearly surface one on, so on-site Jet A-1 availability itself should be treated as needing re-verification, not just the supplier identity. No source found names the specific into-plane agent/brand operating at IOS -- flagged unconfirmed rather than asserted. · 1000-0000 local; AOG/after-hours by prior arrangement (unconfirmed)

Socicam Aeroportos
As aerodrome operator/concessionaire, Socicam is responsible for airside and perimeter security at SBIL, consistent with standard practice at Brazilian regional-concession airports it runs. However, the specific claim of a 2019-2024 AI-enabled electronic-security/alarm technology overhaul traces to Socicam's \"CORE\" platform (Socicam Labs), which press coverage places at Cuiabá / Centro-Oeste Airports (Mato Grosso) -- a separate Socicam concession -- not at SBIL specifically; this could not be confirmed as deployed at Ilhéus. Any screening/security subcontractor, if outsourced, is not named. Source: socicam.com.br press coverage of the Cuiabá CORE rollout (2024); no SBIL-specific security-technology source found.
