André Antônio Maggi Airport (LCB)

André Antônio Maggi Airport (LCB), identified by its ICAO code SWBG, is a regional aviation facility situated in the city of Pontes e Lacerda in the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil. Positioned approximately 8 kilometers from the downtown area, the airport serves as an essential logistics link for the region's prominent agricultural and cattle ranching sectors. The facility features a single 1,500-meter asphalt runway (11/29) and primarily acts as a technical hub for private charters, government transport, and emergency medical services. The terminal facilities at André Antônio Maggi are modest and designed for basic regional transit. While the airport has faced regulatory hurdles in recent years, including temporary interdictions for commercial scheduled services, the local municipality is actively securing funds for a 2025–2026 revitalization program. This project aims to modernize the passenger waiting areas, install advanced runway lighting (balizamento noturno) to support 24/7 operations, and reactivate the on-site aviation fuel station to better serve the general aviation community. Inside the functional passenger terminal, travelers can access basic administrative support and sheltered waiting zones, though the facility currently lacks modern commercial amenities such as retail shops or dedicated VIP lounges. Ground transportation is well-supported by local taxi services and private vehicle access, providing a 10-to-15 minute connection to the city center and the major BR-174 highway. As of early 2026, the facility remains a critical node for the region's socio-economic development, with ongoing efforts to restore regular sub-regional commercial rotations via carriers like Azul Conecta once all safety and technical upgrades are finalized.
