MVF Airport (Dix-Sept Rosado Airport) – Cargo, Address, Transit

About This Airport

From roughly September to March, refrigerated trucks rather than aircraft carry the melon harvest out of the Mossoró-Assu region, moving it as reefer containers through the seaports of Natal and Pecém. Dix-Sept Rosado Airport (MVF/SBMS) serves Mossoró, the second-largest city of Rio Grande do Norte, almost entirely as passenger traffic, with Azul operating several weekly flights to Recife. The airport has no dedicated freight terminal, integrators, cargo handlers or customs post, so air cargo for the catchment is consolidated through Natal International Airport (NAT) some 280 road kilometres to the south-east or Fortaleza (FOR) around 250 kilometres to the west. Trucking runs along the BR-304 federal highway, which links Mossoró to both metropolitan areas. Local industry - sea salt, Potiguar Basin oilfield services and tropical fruit - uses the air route mainly for samples, spare parts and urgent small consignments. The airport's name honours Jerônimo Dix-Sept Rosado, a state governor from a locally prominent political family.
