## Description

Porto Seguro Airport (BPS) is a tourism gateway first and a freight option a distant second. It serves the Costa do Descobrimento – a UNESCO World Heritage stretch of coast in southern Bahia – and handled about 3.4 million passengers in 2023. Located just 2 km from the town centre and operated by Sinart, it is served mainly by seasonal scheduled and charter flights. The airport has no significant dedicated air cargo infrastructure. Shippers in the region typically route freight through Salvador (SSA), Bahia's main cargo airport, or via São Paulo's Guarulhos (GRU) and Viracopos (VCP) for international consignments. Belly capacity on passenger aircraft remains limited to smaller shipments.
