About This Airport

For Acre state, air transport is less a convenience than a supply line: Rio Branco–Plácido de Castro is the principal airport of a remote Amazon region hemmed in by Bolivia and Peru. With sparse roads and long river routes, scheduled flights to Brasília and São Paulo carry medicines, fresh produce and consumer goods into the state, mostly as belly cargo rather than dedicated freighters. The airport runs no large standalone freight terminal, so bulk exports from Acre are usually consolidated through Manaus and its free-trade zone. Operated under concession by VINCI Airports, the international field handles general, military and air-taxi traffic alongside commercial flights. Within Acre, it remains the central reference point for air logistics.
