## Description

BRF, Aurora and Seara turned Chapecó into one of Brazil's poultry and pork powerhouses, and Serafin Enoss Bertaso Airport (XAP) is the region's passenger gateway in western Santa Catarina. Scheduled service links the city mainly to São Paulo, Campinas and Florianópolis. The airport itself runs no dedicated export cargo terminal: most processed-meat shipments leave by refrigerated truck toward the seaports of Itajaí and Navegantes, or move as airfreight through the major cargo hubs at Viracopos (Campinas) and Guarulhos. Only limited belly cargo travels on the domestic flights here. For freight forwarders, XAP therefore works as a feeder rather than a loading point, and consignments from this agro-industrial heartland need a road leg to the nearest true cargo airport. Sitting at 2,154 feet, it remains a key air link for one of the country's most productive food-processing zones.
