## Description

Roraima is among Brazil's most road-isolated states, and Boa Vista's Atlas Brasil Cantanhede International Airport (BVB, SBBV) is the aviation answer to that isolation — it is the northernmost Brazilian airport with scheduled service. The field is operated by Vinci Airports and carries a cargo terminal alongside hangars and airline offices, but throughput is dominated by belly freight on passenger services; no regular all-cargo operation is confirmed. Regional feeder flights into the interior of Roraima are flown by carriers including Boa Vista-based Meta Linhas Aéreas. The airport was renamed in 2009 after Atlas Brasil Cantanhede (1917-1973), a pilot and politician who pioneered aviation in the state. Overland, everything depends on the BR-174 highway: Manaus lies roughly 785 km south, the Venezuelan border at Pacaraima about 215 km north, and the Guyanese crossing at Bonfim some 125 km east via the BR-401. For larger air freight consignments, Manaus-Eduardo Gomes (MAO) with its Zona Franca free trade zone and Belém (BEL) are the practical alternatives, with São Paulo-Guarulhos (GRU) handling intercontinental connections.
