Mucuri Airport (MVS)

Mucuri Airport (MVS), also known as Max Feffer Airport, serves the town of Mucuri in the extreme south of the state of Bahia, Brazil. The terminal is a simple, functional structure that primarily caters to private aviation and specialized industrial flights related to the region's prominent pulp and paper industry. It provides an essential air link for this productive part of Bahia, located near the border with the state of Espírito Santo. The facilities at the airport are minimal, featuring a basic waiting area and administrative support for flight operations. There are no regular scheduled commercial passenger services currently operating at MVS, so most travelers are private flyers or business professionals associated with local industrial complexes. The surrounding region is dominated by extensive eucalyptus plantations and scenic coastal landscapes, which are vital to the local economy. Ground transportation to Mucuri town is available through local taxis or private vehicles. The airport's location makes it a strategic asset for the regional economy, facilitating the movement of people and specialized resources in a relatively remote part of southern Bahia. It remains a key infrastructure point for the development of the 'Costa das Baleias' (Whale Coast) region, supporting both industrial activity and regional connectivity.
