Concessionária dos Aeroportos da Amazônia S.A. (Vinci Airports)
Airport operator/administration (listed in DECEA AISWEB ROTAER as 'AD INTL PUB CONCESSIONÁRIA DOS AEROPORTOS DA AMAZONIA S.A.'), operating SBRB under the Vinci Airports 'Bloco Norte' concession (awarded April 2021, 30-year term to 2051). Per AISWEB/ROTAER remarks, all operators must notify the airport administration a minimum 72h before intended landing/takeoff; international operations additionally require 72h prior coordination with Federal Police, ANVISA, local administration and Receita Federal. State (government/military) aircraft require a separate minimum 24h notice to airport administration and ANAC - this 24h/ANAC rule applies to State flights specifically, not international ops generally. Direct commercial contact (email/phone) could not be independently confirmed: the airport's own site (riobranco-airport.com.br) routes inquiries through a web contact form/Ouvidoria portal rather than publishing a direct commercial email or phone number.
