## Description

The airfield at Alcântara in Maranhão, Brazil, belongs to the Centro de Lançamento de Alcântara, the coastal rocket launch site run by the Brazilian Air Force. Its runway serves government, military and space-programme flights rather than scheduled or freight traffic, and there is no public cargo terminal or forwarder-accessible customs post. Air freight for Maranhão is handled at São Luís – Marechal Cunha Machado (SLZ) roughly 30 kilometres away across São Marcos Bay, where the seaport of Itaqui also enables multimodal solutions.
