## Description

Leite Lopes Airport (RAO) handles steady domestic passenger traffic for Ribeirão Preto, yet it is no freight terminal. Azul, GOL and LATAM link the city to São Paulo and Brasília, while most air cargo moves as belly freight or is consolidated at Viracopos (VCP) near Campinas, Brazil's leading cargo airport roughly 200 km away. The surrounding region is one of the country's agricultural powerhouses, built on sugarcane, ethanol and farm machinery, and home to the Agrishow trade fair. For freight forwarders, RAO works best as a regional feeder, with larger shipments routed through São Paulo's dedicated cargo gateways.
