## Description

Zebu cattle genetics, soybeans and beef from one of Minas Gerais' richest farming belts shape the freight profile around Uberaba's Mário de Almeida Franco Airport (UBA). Operated by Aena Brasil, the field handles roughly 7,000 movements and about 81,000 kilograms of air cargo a year, almost all of it belly freight on Azul and Gol domestic services. Plans for a dedicated airport-industry complex with an export processing zone (ZPE) reflect the city's standing as Brazil's zebu capital and the state's largest agricultural producer. Bulk and time-critical airfreight still routes through Viracopos (Campinas) or Confins (Belo Horizonte), both reachable by highway. Solid road and rail links keep UBA a dependable reference point for the Triângulo Mineiro's agribusiness flows.
