Municipal José Figueiredo Airport (PSW)

Municipal José Figueiredo Airport (PSW) is a primary regional aviation hub serving the city of Passos and the southwestern region of Minas Gerais, Brazil, located approximately 3 miles (5 km) from the city center. The airport operates from a functional passenger terminal building that serves as the central hub for private pilots, corporate charters, and executive flights supporting the region's significant industrial and agricultural sectors. It acts as a critical infrastructure link, notably serving as the main air gateway for tourists visiting the world-renowned Serra da Canastra National Park and the 'canyons' of the Furnas Lake region.

The terminal infrastructure provides a range of essential amenities across its unified layout, which recently underwent a major revitalization project to introduce a modernized waiting hall and updated public service areas. Travelers and pilots have access to comfortable air-conditioned seating, cleaned restroom facilities, and a dedicated administrative pantry for refreshments. The facility maintains a professional environment with specialized fire brigade support and a dedicated firefighting vehicle on-site, providing a secure and streamlined experience for executive travelers transitioning to the nearby administrative districts.

Operationally, the airport features a single 4,921-foot (1,500m) asphalt runway (15/33) equipped with modern night lighting (*balizamento noturno*), allowing for 24-hour flight operations. Ground transportation to central Passos is well-supported by local taxi services situated directly outside the terminal exit, with the journey typically taking about 10 minutes via the regional highway network. Travelers are advised that while the building provides high-efficiency transit, it currently lacks on-site commercial refueling for public sale, and visitors are encouraged to coordinate all technical logistics with local hangar operators prior to arrival.
