Paranaíba Airport (PBB)

Paranaíba Airport (PBB), also known as Aeroporto Municipal de Paranaíba, is a regional aviation facility serving the northeastern 'Bolsão' region of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. The airport features a single, modest passenger terminal building (TPS) that primarily supports general aviation and regional logistics. It acts as a vital link for the local community, located approximately 1.8 miles (3 km) from the Paranaíba city center. The terminal infrastructure provides basic essential amenities for travelers and pilots, including a functional waiting hall and check-in counters. Following significant state-funded modernization in 2025, the facility has been upgraded with a new night lighting system (balizamento), allowing for 24-hour operations and medical evacuations. Additional recent improvements include new security fencing and resurfacing of the aircraft apron and taxiway areas to enhance safety. The airfield features a substantial 8,268-foot (2,520m) asphalt runway (14/32), making it one of the longer regional strips in the state and capable of handling a wide variety of aircraft. While regular scheduled commercial service has been intermittent, the facility is a key base for private charters and technical flights. Ground transportation to the city center is informal, with visitors typically utilizing local taxi services or pre-arranged private transfers.
