Airport contact

Ground handling
Unconfirmed
Mineração Rio do Norte S/A (MRN)
MRN owns and administers SBTB entirely (AIP Brasil/DECEA); no independent ramp-handling company is documented at this closed company-town field, so MRN is presumed to handle turnarounds for both its own charters and the scheduled service - Azul mainline (Manaus, Santarem) plus subsidized Azul Conecta feeder flights on Cessna Grand Caravan equipment (Juruti, Monte Alegre, Obidos). Exact split of ground-handling duties with Azul/Azul Conecta unconfirmed.

Aircraft fuel
Unconfirmed
Mineração Rio do Norte S/A (MRN)
Jet A-1 is confirmed available at SBTB per the aerodrome's own AIP Brasil/DECEA facts record. No independent into-plane agent or fuel brand (Vibra/BR, Raizen, Air BP) is named at this remote field, so MRN - the only entity with a documented operational presence on the field - is presumed the de facto fuel handler. Avgas availability could not be corroborated by any source checked.

Aviation security
Unconfirmed
Mineração Rio do Norte S/A (MRN)
SBTB carries scheduled commercial passenger service (Azul/Azul Conecta) under ANAC's mixed publico e privado classification, which requires AVSEC screening; MRN is the sole documented administrator of the airport and township, so security is inferred to be in-house/MRN-provided. No independently named aviation-security contractor found.

Passenger & crew transport
Unconfirmed
Mineração Rio do Norte S/A (MRN)
The airfield sits roughly 4 km from the residential village of Porto Trombetas (per Wikipedia/AIP), itself about 70 km from Oriximina with no independent outside road network typical of this Amazon river region; as sole operator of both the airfield and the closed company town (housing, hospital, commerce all run by MRN), MRN is the presumed provider of any airport-village shuttle for passengers/crew. No dedicated transport company or documented shuttle contract found.
