## Description

Tourism, not tonnage, sets the rhythm at Maceió's airport in the northeastern state of Alagoas. The coastline draws domestic carriers GOL, LATAM and Azul, and the terminal - run by Spain's Aena Brasil since its 2020 concession - is built for up to 5.3 million passengers a year. Cargo moves mainly as belly freight on these passenger services, handled through a dedicated TECA terminal with on-site Receita Federal customs. Shippers with dense or international consignments typically consolidate via Recife/Guararapes (REC) or the São Paulo/Guarulhos (GRU) mainline. The airport's name honours Zumbi dos Palmares, leader of the Palmares quilombo resistance - an unusual nod to that history across Brazil's airport network.
