## Description

Set on a plateau in south-western Bahia, Glauber de Andrade Rocha Airport (IATA: VDC, ICAO: SBVC) serves Vitória da Conquista, a trading city between the state capital Salvador and Brazil's interior, and handled 402,177 passengers in 2025. Azul, Gol and LATAM fly to São Paulo–Guarulhos, Belo Horizonte–Confins and Salvador; freight moves only in the belly holds of those services, as the airport has no cargo terminal and no freighter operation. The 2,100-metre runway, in service since the field opened on 25 July 2019, does accept narrow-body jets, but the region's coffee, cattle, retail and health-sector flows travel mainly by road. Air freight requiring customs clearance is trucked to Salvador (SSA), about 520 road kilometres north-east via the BR-116 and BR-324, or consolidated at São Paulo–Guarulhos (GRU), Brazil's largest cargo gateway. Passenger traffic slipped two per cent in 2025 yet remains far above what the older Pedro Otacílio Figueiredo field could carry.
