## Description

Sevenair Air Services is the only scheduled operator at Bragança Airport (IATA: BGC, ICAO: LPBG), a municipal field in north-east Portugal whose single 1,700-metre runway carries passengers rather than freighters. The subsidised regional route links Bragança with Vila Real, Viseu, Cascais and Portimão using light aircraft, so belly cargo capacity is negligible and no cargo airline serves the airport. There is no air cargo terminal, no cold chain or dangerous-goods handling and no customs post for air freight on site; import and export consignments from the Trás-os-Montes region are cleared at Porto instead. The municipality presented an expansion plan in 2025 that would stretch the runway to 2,300 metres by 2034, add a passenger terminal and an adjoining industrial zone and explicitly open the field to cargo flights, with the first two phases costed at roughly EUR 4.2 million from 2026 and still awaiting a ruling by the Portuguese regulator ANAC. Until then road feeder service does the work: the A4/IP4 motorway puts Porto Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport (IATA: OPO) about 210 km away, while Lisbon (IATA: LIS) is some 490 km by truck. Freight forwarders shipping from inland northern Portugal therefore book capacity at OPO and treat Bragança as a passenger feeder only.
