- 02/20 · 2,000 m / 6,562 ft · 45 m wide · Asphalt
Amazon-interior Para strip on the Tocantins river near the Tucurui hydroelectric dam; served only by Azul Conecta's subsidized (PROFAA) Cessna Grand Caravan hops to Belem (SBBE). Operational history is turbulent: closed to commercial traffic 2015-2021, reactivated H2 2021, suspended again Dec 2022 during an operator transition (contract costs jumped from R$55k to R$145k/month), and has run under Tucurui municipal administration since 2023 amid an ongoing public-prosecutors' civil action over service continuity. No fuel, customs, or international facilities; official ANAC passenger totals for this micro-airport are not publicly disaggregated given the closure/reopening cycles.

Prefeitura Municipal de Tucuruí (Aeroporto Regional de Tucuruí "Cláudio Furman")
Airport terminal, check-in counters, boarding lounge and apron/ramp facilities are self-operated by the Prefeitura Municipal de Tucuruí; the mayor's office and municipal planning secretariat directly managed the pre-reopening revitalization and ANAC authorization process and continue to administer the airfield. No separate third-party ground-handling company is documented; source: correiodecarajas.com.br coverage of the 2021 revitalization and reopening. Note: an earlier draft cited a Jan 2023 municipal takeover from a private contractor with specific monthly cost figures (R$55,000/R$145,000/R$18,000) — this could not be verified and conflicts with confirmed municipal administration and a Nov 2021 (not Nov 2023) reopening, so it has been removed pending a reliable source.

Azul Conecta
Self-handled; Azul Conecta is the scheduled operator at TUR, having landed its first Cessna 208B Grand Caravan flights on the Belém–Tucuruí route on 23 Nov 2021 (correiodecarajas.com.br, "Azul realiza primeiros voos regionais para Paragominas e Tucuruí") — corrected from a draft claim of a Nov 2023 reactivation, which is not supported by contemporaneous reporting. No independent third-party ramp/passenger handling agent is documented for this small single-carrier station; self-handling is the standard operating model for Conecta's small Amazon-region feeder stops.

Prefeitura Municipal de Tucuruí (Aeroporto Regional de Tucuruí "Cláudio Furman")
Passenger/baggage screening equipment (X-ray, metal detector, baggage conveyor) was installed under a roughly R$800,000 Eletronorte-funded municipal revitalization ahead of the Nov 2021 reopening to commercial traffic (correiodecarajas.com.br, "Aeroporto de Tucuruí vai retomar voos comerciais"); operated under municipal airport authority, as is typical for small Brazilian municipal aerodromes. No named private security/AVSEC contractor documented.
