About This Airport

Air freight is the smaller story at São Luís. The capital of Maranhão state is served by LATAM, Azul and GOL, whose passenger jets carry belly cargo — e-commerce parcels, spare parts and perishables — toward the northeast and the eastern Amazon, while heavier consignments route through Fortaleza or Guarulhos. The terminal is run by CCR Aeroportos, with customs handled on site by the Receita Federal. What gives São Luís its logistics weight is the water: the neighbouring Port of Itaqui and Vale's Ponta da Madeira iron-ore terminal rank among the busiest in Brazil. For freight forwarders the airport works best as a fast complement to a region whose exports move by ship and rail.
