## Description

Minas Gerais is Brazil's mining and steel heartland, and Tancredo Neves International Airport (CNF) is the air gateway that moves its high-value freight. Located in the municipality of Confins about 35 km north of Belo Horizonte, the airport is operated by BH Airport S.A. It was the first Brazilian airport to offer multimodal cargo handling, combining air, road and bonded logistics on a single site. Its cargo terminal handles roughly 18,000 tonnes a year, backed by a 6,400 m² warehouse and 12,000 m² of bonded area for dry, perishable, dangerous and live shipments. Ground handlers including Swissport serve the carriers operating here. Highway links via the BR-040 and BR-262 connect the airport to the region's steel, mining and automotive clusters. While passenger traffic feeds southeastern Brazil, freight is where the airport carries real economic weight. The on-site customs zone consolidates import and export processing for shippers across Minas Gerais.
