## Description

Balsas Airport (IATA BSS, ICAO SNBS) sits about two kilometres from the centre of Balsas, an agricultural town in southern Maranhão, Brazil. A new terminal opened in May 2026 during the AgroBalsas fair; the field carries regional links within Maranhão and on to São Paulo and Brasília, but has no dedicated cargo handling. The region's soybean harvest leaves Balsas by road on the MA-006, MA-140 and MA-141 to the port of Itaqui in São Luís, while urgent air freight is routed via São Luís (SLZ), Teresina (THE) or Imperatriz (IMP).
