## Description

When the Transamazônica highway (BR-230) turns to mud in the rainy season, Altamira Airport (ATM/SBHT) in Pará is what keeps urgent freight moving into this stretch of the Brazilian Amazon. Operated by Aena Brasil and located roughly 6.5 km from the city centre, it has a 2,003 m by 30 m asphalt runway at 112 m elevation and supports day and night operations under visual and instrument rules for Boeing 737-class aircraft. Designed for more than 90,000 passengers a year, it is currently served by Azul, which means shipments travel as belly cargo — around 103 tonnes were recorded in 2025, and no dedicated freight terminal or scheduled freighter service is confirmed. The catchment covers Altamira and neighbouring municipalities along the Xingu river, where road connectivity is seasonal. Belém (BEL) and Santarém (STM) act as the upstream gateways for international volume, and customs formalities are handled there by the Receita Federal. Forwarders shipping from Europe or North America typically clear through São Paulo/Guarulhos or Belém and add Altamira as a domestic connecting leg.
