Garanhuns Airport QGP / SNGN

GRU Airport S.A. (concessionaire of São Paulo-Guarulhos) won the concession to operate Garanhuns Airport, awarded 27 Nov 2025 - independently corroborated via Garanhuns Airport's Wikipedia entry, which cites the same date. Reported modernization-plan specifics (apron expansion, RESA, terminal works, cost figures, an April-2026 operational-takeover date) could not be independently corroborated beyond the concession-award fact itself and should be treated as unverified. As presumptive operator of this tiny single-carrier field (1,259m runway, daytime-VFR only), GRU Airport S.A. is likely responsible for ramp/apron services, but no separate third-party ground-handling company is documented; self-provision by the operator is inferred, not directly confirmed.

Sole scheduled carrier confirmed at Garanhuns (per Garanhuns Airport's English Wikipedia entry: "Azul Conecta operates flights to Recife/Guararapes"), flying 9-seat Cessna Grand Caravan turboprops on the Recife-Garanhuns route (started July 2022; Garanhuns is one of Azul's Pernambuco sub-regional bases alongside Caruaru, Petrolina, Serra Talhada and Fernando de Noronha). No third-party ramp handler is documented for this single-flight-a-day commuter station, consistent with Azul Conecta's small-station self-handling model elsewhere in its network; self-handling is inferred from the network-wide pattern, not directly confirmed for this specific field.

As concessionaire/operator of this small public aerodrome since the Nov 2025 concession award, GRU Airport S.A. is presumed responsible for airfield security/access control; no separate named security contractor is documented for Garanhuns specifically, and this remains an inference rather than a confirmed fact.

Confirmed directly against DECEA's AISWEB ROTAER entry for SNGN: airport operations (landing/takeoff) require 4 hours' prior notice by phone/WhatsApp to "DIX Garanhuns" at (•••, matching this number exactly. DIX Aeroportos is a Brazilian airport construction-and-administration company that has managed several Pernambuco/interior-Brazil regional airports (Garanhuns, Araripina, Caruaru among them); its listing remains the live operational PPR contact for this field even after the Nov 2025 GRU Airport S.A. concession award. · PPR 4h advance notice; field operates HJ (daylight/VFR only), sunrise-sunset

Confirmed directly against DECEA's AISWEB ROTAER entry for SNGN, which lists this number as the second mandatory contact (alongside DIX Aeroportos) for the 4-hour advance landing/takeoff notice requirement. SEMOBI is the Pernambuco state government's mobility/infrastructure secretariat and was the direct administrator of the state's regional airports (including Garanhuns) prior to the Nov 2025 GRU Airport S.A. concession award; it retains a listed operational-coordination role.
