About This Airport

At Poços de Caldas, the road beats the runway: the Embaixador Walther Moreira Salles Airport (POO) carries no scheduled flights today, so freight from this corner of southern Minas Gerais travels overland to the Campinas-Viracopos cargo hub (VCP). Opened in 1937 and perched at roughly 1,260 metres, it ranks among Brazil's highest medium-to-large airfields, with a 1,515-metre runway suited to regional and turboprop aircraft. Air navigation has been handled by Infraero since October 2022. The city is known as a spa and tourism destination, set against a backdrop of bauxite mining and aluminium production. For forwarders, POO functions as a charter and feeder field rather than a cargo gateway.
