Small regional airport on Piaui's Atlantic coast serving as the gateway to the Delta do Parnaiba and the 'Rota das Emocoes' tourism circuit; ANAC data show volatile traffic (about 29,000 passengers in 2022 falling to about 11,000 in 2023) amid carrier turnover, with LATAM's new Fortaleza route (Dec 2025) and Azul's planned resumption from Belo Horizonte-Confins (Nov 2026) expected to lift volumes. Despite the historic 'International' name and a 2005 authorization for international traffic (which hosted eight Air Italy charter flights from Verona in late 2006/early 2007), current scheduled service is domestic-only with no active customs/immigration presence.

SBPB Parnaíba Sociedade de Propósito Específico S/A (AEROPHB)
Airport operator/concessionaire runs apron and ramp ground operations for the field's scheduled carriers (currently LATAM ex-Fortaleza; Azul planning resumption ex-Belo Horizonte-Confins Nov 2026). The Ministry of Transport's airport management analysis (gov.br) describes cleaning, security, and 'rampa' (ramp) as functions directly executed by the airport administration under the pre-2022 Infraero era, and the Feb 2022 PPP concession to SBPB Parnaíba SPE covers the full 'operação aeroportuária'; no separate third-party ground handler is documented, so attribution to the operator is unconfirmed as current but consistent with the documented model.
