Aracaju - Santa Maria International Airport (AJU)

Aracaju – Santa Maria International Airport (AJU) operates a single passenger terminal with domestic services and regional international connectivity via Brazilian hubs. Landside, airline check‑in counters and self‑service kiosks line the departures hall; after centralized security, passengers enter an airside concourse serving all gates with ground‑level boarding or buses to remote stands. Arrivals route to baggage claim and the landside exit.

The terminal is compact and walkable. From curb/parking to check‑in is typically 2–4 minutes. From security to the nearest gates is about 3–5 minutes; remote stands add a short bus ride. There are no inter‑terminal transfers.

Security screening follows ANAC regulations and is generally efficient at this scale. International departures, when scheduled, clear exit immigration after security; international arrivals clear passport control before baggage claim and pass customs on exit. Peak holiday periods can lengthen queues—arrive early.

Amenities include cafés/snack bars, convenience retail, ATMs, car‑rental desks, and public Wi‑Fi. Taxis and app‑based rides serve the forecourt; rental‑car facilities are adjacent. Beaches and hotels are a short drive away.

Accessibility features include step‑free routes, lifts, and accessible restrooms; PRM assistance can be arranged with airlines. Family facilities include baby‑changing rooms and family restrooms; bring children’s snacks and activities for busy travel periods.
