๐ข Terminal Guide & Navigation
Ponta Grossa Airport (PGZ), officially known as Comandante Antonio Amilton Beraldo Airport and formerly as Sant'Ana Airport, is a primary regional aviation hub serving the Campos Gerais region in the state of Paranรก, Brazil. The airport operates from a compact, modern passenger terminal that was significantly renovated in 2016 to provide high efficiency and intuitive navigation for regional travelers. It acts as a critical infrastructure link, primarily connecting Ponta Grossa to the national hub of Viracopos International Airport (VCP) in Campinas via Azul Linhas Aรฉreas.
The terminal infrastructure provides essential amenities across its unified single-level layout, featuring a comfortable general passenger lounge and streamlined check-in counters. Travelers have access to an on-site cafรฉ serving traditional Brazilian snacks and local coffee, alongside retail kiosks for travel essentials and regional souvenirs. The facility is fully accessible and offers free high-speed Wi-Fi throughout the building, ensuring a professional environment for both business travelers and visitors exploring the region's industrial and agricultural centers.
Ground transportation to central Ponta Grossa, located approximately 8 miles (13 km) to the north, is well-supported by local taxi ranks and ride-sharing services situated directly outside the terminal exit, with the journey typically taking 15 to 25 minutes. Several car rental agencies maintain desks within the arrivals hall, and the airport features a secure on-site parking lot for both short-term and long-term stays. For broader international connectivity, travelers often utilize Afonso Pena International Airport (CWB) in nearby Curitiba, which is situated about 65 miles (105 km) away via the regional highway network.

๐ก Connection Tips
Ponta Grossa Airport serves the Campos Gerais region of Paran, so the connection is typically a taxi, hotel car, or rental vehicle into Ponta Grossa and then onward into the surrounding plateau region. The airport is useful because it shortens the first part of the trip, but the region itself is spread out enough that a road plan matters more than the terminal. If you are going to the city center, the airport ride is straightforward; if you are heading to rural attractions, business sites, or other cities in Paran, it is worth arranging the vehicle before you land. That is especially useful because the airport is a regional field rather than a major hub, which means the passenger side is simple but the transport side still depends on local coordination. For business travelers, Ponta Grossa is a clean arrival point for the industrial and logistics corridors in the area. For leisure travelers, it is often the start of a road trip into the state parks and plateau scenery. Either way, the airport works best when the driver and destination are already fixed, because that avoids wasting time trying to improvise on arrival. PGZ is one of those airports where the flight itself is the easy part; the useful connection is the ground leg that follows.
