## Description

Araripina (JAW) lies in the sertão of Pernambuco, Brazil, in a region built around gypsum mining and agriculture. The small airfield handles private, air-taxi and agricultural flights; there is no scheduled service, no cargo handling and no customs, so freight relevance is low. Air cargo for the area moves via Petrolina (PNZ, roughly 250 road kilometres) or Recife Guararapes (REC) — heavy gypsum loads travel by truck rather than by air in any case.
