Confresa Airport (CFO)

Confresa Airport (CFO), also known as SJHG, is a primarily private aviation facility located in the Araguaia region of Mato Grosso, Brazil. Because it does not currently host major commercial airlines on a regular schedule, 'connections' at CFO typically involve transitioning between private charter flights, agricultural air services, or regional air taxis. The airport’s 1,100-meter gravel runway serves as a vital air link for the local cattle and grain industries, but logistics here require significant advance planning. For most travelers, the journey to or from Confresa involves a major transfer in Cuiabá (CGB) or Goiânia (GYN). Cuiabá serves as the main gateway to the state of Mato Grosso, with regular commercial flights from São Paulo, Brasília, and other major Brazilian hubs. If you are using a regional air taxi service from Confresa to connect with a national carrier in Cuiabá, it is highly recommended to allow a minimum buffer of 3 to 4 hours. This buffer accounts for the potential variations in regional flight times and the need to self-transfer between the general aviation area and the main passenger terminal in Cuiabá. At the CFO airstrip, facilities are extremely rudimentary. There is no centralized passenger terminal, restrooms, or retail services. If you are arriving on a private flight and need to reach the town of Confresa, which is 3 kilometers away, you must pre-arrange your ground transport, as there are no on-demand taxi ranks at the field. Most local hotels provide shuttle services for their guests if notified in advance. For those planning a flight, ensure you verify weather conditions carefully, as operations at CFO are restricted to daytime Visual Flight Rules (VFR). Always carry sufficient water and personal provisions, as the airfield lacks basic on-site amenities.
