๐ข Terminal Information
Bacacheri Airport (BFH) serves the city of Curitiba in Paranรก State, Brazil. This historic airport, originally an airfield in the 1930s and later an Air Force Base, now primarily supports general aviation, corporate flights, and extensive aircraft maintenance operations. It does not host scheduled commercial passenger services; commercial flights to Curitiba utilize Afonso Pena International Airport (CWB). The airport features a single runway (18/36) and a modern terminal building that houses multiple Fixed Base Operators (FBOs) and maintenance providers, catering specifically to the general aviation and corporate aviation sectors. Operations are active daily from 07:00 to 22:00.\n\nOperational procedures at BFH are tailored for general aviation traffic. The airport maintains an active control tower during operating hours, managing the diverse movements of private planes, executive jets, and training aircraft. There are no security checkpoints or baggage handling systems typical of commercial airports. Pilots and passengers access their aircraft directly via the FBOs, which provide streamlined services. The airport's strategic location, just 4.3 miles from downtown Curitiba, makes it an attractive option for business travelers seeking efficiency and direct access to the city, known for its innovative urban planning and green spaces.\n\nAmenities at Bacacheri Airport are focused on supporting its general aviation clientele. The multiple FBOs offer professional facilities including pilot lounges, flight planning resources, and concierge services. While there are no extensive public restaurants or retail shops within the terminal, the airport's proximity to Curitiba city center means a wide array of dining, accommodation, and cultural attractions are just minutes away. The airport is a significant hub for corporate aviation in southern Brazil, providing a strong infrastructure for private flights and a crucial component of the region's aviation industry.
