Teresina-Senador Petronio Portella is Piaui's principal air gateway and a small-hub domestic airport served by Azul, Gol, and LATAM Brasil with mainly regional and trunk-route domestic connections; despite historically carrying an 'Internacional' designation in its formal name (adopted 2000), it currently has no scheduled international passenger service and functions as a domestic-only port.
