Airport contact
Built as a support airstrip for the Jari Project (pulp/bauxite operations) and now serves the district of Monte Dourado in the municipality of Almeirim; Azul Conecta has operated a subsidized regional route (PAM - essential air services network) linking it to Belem and Almeirim since November 2021, making it a lifeline connection for this remote Amazon-interior community rather than a high-volume hub.

Azul Conecta
Self-handled; Azul Conecta is confirmed via live route data (OurAirports and FlightConnections, both checked August 2026) as the sole scheduled carrier currently operating at MEU, flying Almeirim\u2194Bel\u00e9m and Almeirim\u2194Porto de Moz, consistent with pt.wikipedia route records showing Conecta service (Cessna Grand Caravan EX) since November 2021 sourced from ANAC route data; at this size of thin Amazon feeder outstation Conecta's own local station staff typically handle turnarounds rather than a third-party ground handler, but this specific arrangement is not independently confirmed via a primary handling source.

Jari Celulose S.A. (JACEL)
DECEA's official AISWEB aeronautical register for SBMD (fetched directly and confirmed) classifies the aerodrome as "AD PUB JACEL" (public aerodrome administered by JACEL/Jari Celulose); the field was originally built as support infrastructure for the Jari Project industrial complex (pulp/forestry, formerly bauxite/kaolin mining) at Monte Dourado and JACEL remains the airfield's administering entity of record per this primary DECEA/AISWEB source; a Portuguese-Wikipedia infobox separately lists "Infraero" as administrator, but English Wikipedia (same underlying facts) names no administrator and cites only ANAC/DECEA, so that Infraero claim looks like a stale template default rather than a sourced fact and is outweighed by the primary AISWEB record; exact scope of services beyond aerodrome administration (apron, fire/rescue coverage) is not independently confirmed.

DECEA \u2013 Centro de Informa\u00e7\u00e3o Aeron\u00e1utica Recife (C-AIS RE)
Directly verified on DECEA's official AISWEB entry for SBMD: this regional civil AIS center receives and relays flight plans (PLN) and flight-plan update messages (MSG) for Monte Dourado, which has no local ATS/AFIS unit of its own; filing is via the FPL-BR mobile app or by phone (••• / •••), both numbers confirmed exactly as published on the SBMD AISWEB page.
