## Description

Carrying the code BZC, Umberto Modiano Airport sits on the Costa do Sol near Cabo Frio and chiefly serves the beach resort of Armação dos Búzios. Its traffic is dominated by tourism and by business and private aviation rather than freight. With no commercial cargo terminal, regional shipments move by road or through the cargo facilities of Rio de Janeiro's airports, principally Galeão (GIG). Access follows the RJ-106 coastal highway to Rio, roughly 150 km away. BZC is best understood as a tourism and general-aviation field with only a marginal cargo function.
