Aeroporto Regional Brigadeiro Cherubim Rosa Filho (Santa Maria Airport) RIA / SBSM

Azul is the sole scheduled carrier at SBSM, confirmed operating one route to Porto Alegre (POA) with roughly 13 flights/month on regional equipment (FlightConnections, checked 2026-08-16). No independent third-party ground handler or dedicated FBO is documented at SBSM, consistent with Azul self-handling its own turnarounds on this thin regional route, though no explicit self-handling statement from Azul was found; recorded as self-handled/unconfirmed rather than assumed with certainty.

DECEA's AISWEB/ROTAER entry for SBSM documents an into-plane fuel point ("SER Combustível O/R") for Jet A-1 and Avgas, contact (••• (Operações) / (••• (Supervisão); hours Mon-Fri 0900-0100 UTC (~06:00-22:00 local) and Sat-Sun 1030-1900 UTC (~07:30-16:00 local), other hours on request with at least 24h notice — ROTAER does not name an operating company. The draft attributed this fuel point to "Marlim Aviation" via the Vibra Energia "BR Aviation" reseller network; that attribution could not be confirmed and appears wrong. Marlim Aviation's own official site (checked directly, twice) lists its complete network of exactly 28 airports across 12 states, naming 5 Rio Grande do Sul bases — Canoas, Caxias do Sul, Pelotas, Porto Alegre, Uruguaiana — with no mention of Santa Maria or SBSM anywhere on the site; its published contact is a generic •••, not the station-specific ••• address the draft cited. Recorded here as operator-unconfirmed, preserving only the independently-verified phone numbers and hours, pending a source that actually names the SBSM reseller. · Mon-Fri ~06:00-22:00 local; Sat-Sun ~07:30-16:00 local (converted from UTC); other hours on request, ≥24h notice

As a shared civil/military airfield under Air Force administration, airside access control and perimeter/aviation security at SBSM fall under the Base Aérea de Santa Maria's own installation-security structure; no separate civilian aviation-security contractor is documented for the small municipalized passenger terminal, so this is recorded as the likely self-provided arrangement rather than a confirmed named contract.

SBSM is a joint public/military aerodrome administered locally by the Força Aérea Brasileira's Oficial de Permanência Operacional (OPO-SM). Confirmed directly against DECEA's AISWEB/ROTAER entry for SBSM: General/civil aviation movements require prior authorisation from the airport's Centro de Operações Aeroportuárias (email •••; tel (•••, (•••, (•••, (•••), mandatory use of a nose-gear tug ("garfo"), and any operation outside the published AD hours needs at least 12h notice to OPO-SM via (••• / 3220-3336 (waived for medical emergencies and national-security missions). Correction to the draft: the raw ROTAER text reads "OPR ACFT CIVIL HR SER 1100-2300" with no LOC marker, and the aerodrome's own AD HR line in the same entry is explicitly stated in UTC ("AD HR SER 0900-0300 UTC") — by ROTAER's standard convention unmarked times share that UTC frame, so civil ops are ~1100-2300 UTC (roughly 08:00-20:00 local, RS is UTC-3), not 1100-2300 local as the draft stated. · Civil ops ~1100-2300 UTC (approx. 08:00-20:00 local); AD hours 0900-0300 UTC
