Azul Linhas Aéreas Brasileiras
Azul is confirmed as one of only two airlines listed on the airport operator's own "Companhias Aéreas" page for Pelotas (aeroportos.motiva.com.br/pelotas-rs/o-aeroporto/companhias-aereas); that page gives generic company info only and does not name a PET-specific route -- the Pelotas-Porto Alegre route comes from English Wikipedia's infobox, not the operator's site. No third-party ground handling agent is named for PET; at this station size self-handling (in-house, Azul) is the likely arrangement, but the specific handling contract is unconfirmed.

Gol Linhas Aéreas Inteligentes
Gol is confirmed as the second airline listed on the airport operator's "Companhias Aéreas" page for Pelotas; that page gives generic company info only and does not name a PET-specific route -- the São Paulo-Congonhas route comes from English Wikipedia's infobox, not the operator's site. No third-party ground handling agent is named for PET; in-house/self-handled by Gol is the likely arrangement given station size, but unconfirmed.

Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste (ASUR)
As the ANAC-concessioned operator of PET under the 30-year federal concession won by CCR (rebranded Motiva in 2025) in April 2021, Motiva is regulatorily responsible for airport security/access control and screening under Brazil's airport security programme (PSOA); confirmed via aeroportos.motiva.com.br/pelotas-rs and English Wikipedia. No third-party security contractor is named on the airport's public pages, so the operator's own regulatory role is recorded and marked unconfirmed for exact staffing arrangement. (The operator's "Negócios" page executive-aviation/hangar and cargo claims were dropped from this record: identical wording appears verbatim on Motiva's Uruguaiana-RS airport page, confirming it is network-wide template copy, not evidence specific to Pelotas.)
