## Description

Gateway to the Parnaíba Delta — the only open-sea river delta in the Americas — Parnaíba's airport (PHB, ICAO SBPB) primarily carries tourists bound for the dunes and lagoons of the Piauí coast. Azul and Gol operate regional services here, with the emphasis firmly on passengers rather than freight. No significant scheduled cargo is handled at PHB; airfreight moves as belly capacity or through larger regional fields. Forwarders route consignments for northern Piauí via Teresina (THE) and the Fortaleza (FOR) cargo gateway. Planned investment includes passenger-terminal expansion and construction of an air-cargo terminal intended to stimulate future logistics activity.
