Regional airport for Mossoro, RN's second-largest city; Azul served it with ATR-72s to Recife until suspending the route in Jan 2025 (formally ended Aug 2025) amid fleet/supply-chain constraints, with LATAM/VoePass also having flown to Natal and Fortaleza; Azul has announced resumption of twice-weekly (Thu/Sun) ATR service to Recife starting Sep 3, 2026, timed with completion of runway/terminal upgrades.

Infraero (Empresa Brasileira de Infraestrutura Aeroportuária)
Airport operator since the Sept 2023 concession (Portaria no 415), confirmed via Infraero's own airport page and pt.Wikipedia; an earlier claim of a preceding Dec 2022 municipal contract with a company called 'Infracea' could not be verified in any source and has been dropped. No third-party ground handling company is named on Infraero's own airport page, in the DECEA/AISWEB AIP entry, or in local press for MVF, so ramp and apron coordination for the field's scheduled ATR-72 turnarounds (Azul) nominally runs through the airport operator; unconfirmed whether Infraero staff physically marshal aircraft versus the airline's own station agents.

Azul Linhas Aereas Brasileiras
Self-handled, Azul: Azul is the long-standing mainline carrier at MVF (ATR-72). Current frequency is unconfirmed as of: Infraero's own airport page and pt.Wikipedia describe daily Recife service, which conflicts with an earlier '2x weekly' figure that could not be. Azul recruits its own Agente de Aeroporto staff for check-in, boarding, baggage dispatch and ramp functions system-wide, and no third-party handling company is documented for this station, consistent with self-handling of its own turnarounds.

Azul Cargo Express
Azul Cargo Express operates a freight agency in Mossoro (reported address Av. Joao da Escossia, 1412, Nova Betania; phone ••• carries the local Rio Grande do Norte area code, consistent with a genuine local office rather than a shared national line) handling airfreight moved on Azul's network through MVF; consistent with the airport's documented Jan-Jun 2024 cargo throughput of roughly 42,666 kg per Infraero/Wikipedia reporting. The specific street address could not be due to search-tool limitations.

Aviation security
Available
Infraero (Empresa Brasileira de Infraestrutura Aeroportuária)
As the certified aerodrome operator, Infraero is responsible under RBAC 107 for the field's aviation security program; Infraero's own airport page confirms it contracts vigilancia aeroportuaria (airport security/guarding) for access control and property protection at SBMS. No named third-party security contractor is published for MVF, so the specific vendor remains unconfirmed even though the service itself is now confirmed.
