## Description

Caruaru Airport (IATA: CAU, ICAO: SNRU) lies in the Agreste of Pernambuco, about 130 kilometres west of Recife and in the middle of one of Brazil's largest clothing and textile manufacturing belts. It is a small regional airport with a short runway and an intermittent scheduled offer; there is no cargo terminal, no handling agent and no customs post for air freight, so its cargo relevance is slight. Consignments from the district are trucked to Recife-Guararapes (REC), the cargo airport of northeastern Brazil, while intercontinental volumes still route through São Paulo-Guarulhos (GRU).
