Airport contact
Small Amazon-interior aerodrome served solely by Azul Conecta's subsidized route to Manaus (MAO/SBEG), a few flights weekly on small turboprops; Maués is known as the guaraná-producing heartland of Amazonas, with the airport providing the town's only reliable air link during the region's seasonal river-level and road access constraints.

Azul Conecta
Sole scheduled carrier at this aerodrome, flying 9-seat Cessna Grand Caravan EX turboprops on ~40-minute hops to/from Manaus/Eduardo Gomes; confirmed as the field's only scheduled operator via Azul Conecta's own route/fleet history (pt.wikipedia, citing a Manaus-Maués Cessna 208B flight) and the SWMW aerodrome record (AISWEB), which lists a single 1200m x 30m asphalt runway (01/19) and no third-party handling agent. No separate ground-handling company was found in Brazilian aviation sources or the ANAC/AISWEB record for SWMW, consistent with the common pattern at small Amazonas interior airports where the sole operating carrier self-handles its own turnarounds (self-handled, Azul Conecta). Not independently confirmed with the carrier.
