🏢 Terminal Information
Avelino Vieira Airport (AAG) in Arapoti, Brazil, operates as a regional airport primarily facilitating domestic flights within the state of Paraná and surrounding areas. It is served by major Brazilian carriers such as LATAM Brasil, GOL Linhas Aéreas, and Azul, indicating a moderate level of scheduled commercial service. The airport features a single, functional terminal building with a straightforward layout designed to handle the flow of regional passengers efficiently. Areas for check-in, security screening, and departure gates are co-located, ensuring a compact and easy-to-navigate environment. There are no complex multi-terminal configurations, making inter-terminal connections unnecessary. Walking times within the terminal are minimal, typically ranging from 5 to 10 minutes, allowing for quick transitions.\n\nSecurity procedures at AAG comply with Brazilian civil aviation regulations. Passengers can expect standard screening protocols for both carry-on and checked luggage, along with personal checks. Given the regional focus and moderate passenger volume, wait times at security checkpoints are generally short and manageable, rarely exceeding 15-20 minutes during peak hours. As a domestic airport, Avelino Vieira does not feature international immigration or customs facilities; international travelers would process these formalities at larger gateway airports in Brazil. The emphasis is on providing efficient domestic air travel.\n\nAmenities at Avelino Vieira Airport are basic but designed to cater to the needs of regional travelers. While there are no luxury airline lounges, comfortable seating areas are provided for passengers awaiting their flights. Dining options are limited, typically including a small café or snack bar offering local refreshments and light meals. Retail facilities are also modest, perhaps a newsstand or a small shop for essential travel items. Accessibility features include ramp access and accessible restrooms, accommodating passengers with reduced mobility.
