## Description

More cattle country than cargo hub, Bagé sits in the southern pampas of Rio Grande do Sul near the Uruguayan border, and its Comandante Gustavo Kraemer Airport mainly handles regional and business aviation. No scheduled freight operates here; air cargo for the state's south is consolidated through Porto Alegre (POA) and its customs and cargo facilities. Cross-border trade with Uruguay leans on road haulage and the ports of the lagoon system rather than on air. For forwarders, BGX is a reference point for urgent and courier traffic, not for planned air freight.
