Major Brigadeiro Trompowsky Airport VAG / SBVG

Airport is run under municipal delegation (a convênio between SAC/MTPA and the Prefeitura Municipal de Varginha), confirmed verbatim in the 2017 SAC/ANAC 'Análise de Gestão Aeroportuária – Aeroporto de Varginha' study (LabTrans/UFSC, Oct 2017). That study's organisational chart documents APAC/AVSEC agents, an SGSO safety unit, a revenue/maintenance sector and airport administration, and lists 'operações aeroportuárias' as one of five RBAC 153 functions the operator must staff — but it does NOT itemise a distinct ramp/apron-handling headcount table. The earlier claim that a specific 'operações de rampa' staff line is documented and 'mostly organic' conflated a generic methodology footnote (which explains what outsourced staff typically do across airports in general) with Varginha-specific data; downgraded pending a named ramp/apron handler.

Confirmed live on Universal Aviation's own Varginha (SBVG) location page (universalaviation.aero/locations/brazil/varginha-sbvg/): 'trusted ground supervisory agents in Varginha' with 'close and long-standing relations with Varginha Airport management and local authorities to help you secure available parking and permits.' Note the page also states Universal 'manages all third-party arrangements and sourcing at Varginha through our main FBO services office in Brazil' — i.e. no dedicated Universal facility at the field itself, coordination is remote via local agents.

Corrected against two authoritative sources. (1) DECEA's official AISWEB/ROTAER entry for SBVG lists the CMB (fuel) service with scheduled hours Mon-Fri 12:00-21:00 and Sat 12:00-15:00; outside those windows it is 'O/R' (on request) with a minimum 2-hour notice via (••• or (••• — the phone number in the earlier draft (•••) matched neither AIP-listed contact and has been replaced with the primary AIP number. (2) AC-U-KWIK's fuel database lists 'Fuel Available: AVGAS ONLY' for SBVG; JET A-1 availability claimed in the earlier draft is not corroborated by any source checked and should be treated as unconfirmed, not assumed. Independent ('bandeira branca') into-plane point; operating company's registered legal name is still not published. · Mon-Fri 12:00-21:00, Sat 12:00-15:00 (other times on request, min. 2h notice)

Catering Arrangements is one of the three featured services on Universal's Varginha page, fulfilled via 'Order Now' link to its preferred catering partner network (industry-standard for Universal is Air Culinaire Worldwide); third-party sourced rather than a resident flight kitchen. Confirmed as on-request/arranged, not a resident service.

The 2017 SAC/ANAC study records 3 outsourced (terceirizado) staff out of 27 total but explicitly states the operator 'não indicou quais atividades terceiriza' (did not specify which activities are outsourced). A footnote explains that outsourced airport staff generically tend to cover 'limpeza, vigilância e operações de rampa' (cleaning, security, ramp ops) — but that line is boilerplate methodology text used across the whole SAC/ANAC report series, not a Varginha-specific cleaning-staff figure. No dedicated aircraft-cabin or facility cleaning contractor is separately named for this airport.

Confirmed: GPU (Ground Power Unit) available on-site for based and visiting aircraft, per interaviation.com.br's own service listing; refuelling coordination noted near the QAV/AVGAS station.

Confirmed: 'Air cargo administration services, domestic and international,' plus aircraft importation and parts handling, provided at its Varginha facility as part of the Grupo Inter Aduaneira foreign-trade/customs group.

Fully confirmed against the original opening announcement (aeroin.net, 7 Feb 2017): store opened Mon 06/02/2017 at Rua Joaquim Paraguai, 4 – Sala 3, bairro Vila Isabel, CEP •••; contact person João Reis; phone (•••; hours Mon–Fri 08:00–18:00, Sat 08:00–12:00 — matches the draft's address, phone and hours exactly. (Note: a 2023-era municipal business-association listing shows the shop at 'Rua Joaquim Paraguai, 8 – Loja 2,' suggesting a possible unit renumbering/relocation on the same street since 2017; phone number is unchanged across both sources.) · Mon-Fri 08:00-18:00, Sat 08:00-12:00

AVSEC screening and patrimonial vigilância (APAC agents) staffed directly by the airport operator: the 2017 SAC/ANAC study's staffing table documents 4 AVSEC/APAC employees across two 6-hour shifts, and states the airport's total headcount is 27 (24 orgânicos + 3 terceirizados = 11% outsourced) with AVSEC/APAC among the organic (non-outsourced) roles. Confirmed as written.

Ground Transportation is listed as one of the three featured services on Universal's live Varginha (SBVG) location page, arranged via local third-party vendors as part of the FBO service bundle. Confirmed.

Corrected: the 2017 SAC/ANAC study identifies the aerodrome's CAT-ESP control tower / Estação Prestadora de Serviços de Telecomunicações e de Tráfego Aéreo (EPTA) — which provides AFIS and Aeronautical Information Service, AIS, with 2 staff documented — as the airport's ONE outsourced (terceirizado) function ('o único serviço terceirizado é a EPTA'), contracted by the AAL to a third-party EPTA provider rather than staffed directly by municipal employees as the earlier draft implied. Service is genuinely available at the field; the specific EPTA contractor's name is not published.

Trip-support desk for Varginha (SBVG) confirmed on the live location page: featured services list Permit Coordination and the page cites the same 'close and long-standing relations with Varginha Airport management and local authorities' language for regulatory navigation. Local contact confirmed as Marcia Taue, Operations Manager, ••• (page shows •••, same number).

Confirmed via interaviation.com.br: executive-aviation FBO/hangar facility at Av. José Ribeiro Tristão, Aeroporto, Varginha, MG — 900 m² covered hangarage, 15,000+ m² apron, three-story 2,000 m² building with VIP lounges, pilot lounge (lockers, showers, cable TV, Wi-Fi), meeting room, and 24h alarm/camera monitoring for based/visiting business aircraft.
