Apuí Táxi Aéreo
Company profile (Wikipedia, sourced to ANAC filings) states Apuí Táxi Aéreo carries scheduled and non-scheduled passenger AND cargo traffic across its 3-station network (Manaus hub, Apuí, Manicoré). No dedicated cargo terminal or separate freight handler is documented at this small airstrip, so cargo handling is presumed self-handled, Apui Taxi Aereo, on its own aircraft, and not independently confirmed as a standalone freight service at this specific station.
