Ground handling Unconfirmed
Ramp handlingPassenger handling
Azul Linhas Aéreas Brasileiras S.A.
Azul is the only airline listed on the airport's own "todas-as-companhias-aereas" page and the sole scheduled carrier at SBTT (routes to Manaus and Tefe); no third-party ground handling company is identified in airport, ANAC-facing, or trip-support-directory sources (checked), so passenger/ramp handling is presumed self-handled, in-house, Azul at this single-carrier regional station.

Vibra Energia S.A. (BR Aviação)
A Tabatinga-specific QAV (Jet A-1) / AVGAS refuelling point at SBTT is listed as "Tabatinga / BR" in the FBO Hangares national aeronautical-services directory with local phone •••; the listing's own detail page tags it "BR / JET," i.e. a Petrobras Distribuidora/Vibra Energia "BR"-branded aviation-fuel post (the same branding pattern recurs at dozens of other remote Brazilian airports in the same directory), not a service of the airport concessionaire as previously assumed. No fuel entry appears separately in the DECEA/AISWEB ROTAER record for SBTT, and whether the post is operated directly by Vibra Energia or a licensed local distributor is not independently confirmed.

Azul Linhas Aéreas Brasileiras S.A.

Concessionária dos Aeroportos da Amazônia S.A. (Vinci Airports)

(Vinci Airports, confirmed via DECEA/AISWEB SBTT record and independently via Vinci Airports' own site noting SBTT joined the network in Feb 2022 under a 30-year concession) administers the field, but whether screening is performed in-house or by a subcontracted security firm is not documented.
