Azul Linhas Aéreas Brasileiras
Self-handled, Azul: confirmed as the sole scheduled carrier operating at Uruguaiana (Porto Alegre route since Oct 2015, ATR 72-600; seasonal Florianopolis unconfirmed independently). Motiva (airport operator) treats airline ground/ramp handling as the carrier's own direct responsibility, not the concessionaire's, and no third-party ground handling company was found for this single-carrier, low-movement station; Azul operates its own check-in desk per the airport's airline page.
