Ourilândia do Norte Airport OIA / SDOW

SDOW/OIA is a single-runway (1,200m asphalt) municipal aerodrome. A Vale (mining company) news article confirms the Prefeitura Municipal de Ourilândia do Norte retains administrative and maintenance responsibility for the airfield following a 2021 Vale-funded runway/taxiway/apron/lighting/fencing rehabilitation (about R$6.1 million, reopened 2021-05-13) -- so the municipality's administrative role over the field is confirmed. However, Brazil's official AISWEB/DECEA aerodrome record for SDOW lists a different, private entity (Pereira e Marcelo Táxi Aéreo Ltda) as the registered aerodrome operator handling day-to-day/night operations coordination, so it is unconfirmed whether the municipality itself performs hands-on apron/ramp coordination for the sole scheduled operator (Azul Conecta) versus delegating it; see the separate Pereira e Marcelo Táxi Aéreo Ltda entry for that operator's documented role.

As SDOW's registered aerodrome operator, this local air-taxi company is the most plausible point of contact for ramp/apron coordination at this small, largely unstaffed field, but no source explicitly confirms it handles turnarounds for Azul Conecta's scheduled service specifically.

Azul Conecta is the sole scheduled carrier serving OIA; ticket sales for its Ourilândia do Norte routes to Belém and to Carajás/Parauapebas opened in April 2024 (per AEROIN and R7 news coverage) and remain on current airline schedules as of 2026. At this class of small, largely unstaffed municipal field the carrier is presumed to self-handle its own turnarounds (in-house, Azul Conecta) since no third-party handler is documented for its flights specifically -- the self-handling arrangement itself is unconfirmed by a direct source.

No fuel/combustível field (QAV, Jet A-1, or AVGAS) appears on SDOW's current official AISWEB/DECEA aerodrome record as of 2026-08-17. An earlier claim that the field is a registered ROTAER point of sale for querosene de aviação could not be corroborated against that same source -- AISWEB's aerodrome page for SDOW simply has no fuel section. On-field aviation fuel availability at this small 1,200m municipal strip remains unconfirmed; Azul Conecta's aircraft may tanker fuel from Belém or Carajás/Parauapebas instead.

Listed as the aerodrome operator on SDOW's official AISWEB/DECEA aeronautical record. Night operations (AD OPS noturnas) at this uncontrolled municipal field must be requested at least two hours in advance by phone (••• or •••; daytime line •••). This corrects an earlier draft that attributed night-ops coordination, a named administrator ("Cleudiane Matos"), and a different set of phone numbers directly to the Prefeitura Municipal -- none of that was corroborated, and AISWEB names this private air-taxi company as the actual registered operator. Also unconfirmed: an earlier claim of a new Vale-linked meteorological station and of a lifted turbojet-operations restriction -- neither appears in AISWEB remarks or in the Vale/press coverage of the 2021 runway rehabilitation that could be located.
