## Description

100,682 passengers, 6,919 aircraft movements and 133 tonnes of cargo in 2025 — each up on the previous year — put the scale of Coronel Altino Machado de Oliveira Airport (IATA: GVR, ICAO: SBGV) in Governador Valadares, eastern Minas Gerais, into perspective. The airport has a 1,701-metre asphalt runway (07/25) and has been operated by Infraero since December 2023. Freight remains a sideline: those 133 tonnes travelled as belly cargo on Azul services to Belo Horizonte–Confins, since there is no cargo terminal, no cold chain and no air-freight customs office on site. High-value mica, gemstone and granite consignments from the Rio Doce valley therefore move under security by road or export through Confins (CNF), roughly 320 km west. For forwarders, GVR handles courier and small consignments; larger volumes go via Confins, intercontinental freight via São Paulo-Guarulhos (GRU) or Rio de Janeiro (GIG), and sea freight through Vitória in neighbouring Espírito Santo.
