Curitiba-President Afonso Pena International Airport serves as the primary airport for the city of Curitiba, located in the municipality of São José dos Pinhais, in the state of Paraná, Brazil. The airport derives its name from Afonso Pena (1847–1909), the 6th President of Brazil. The operation of the airport is overseen by CCR.
Similar to other strategically located airports along Brazil’s coast, Afonso Pena Airport was initially constructed by the Brazilian Air Force Ministry in collaboration with the United States Army during World War II. However, by 1946, the airport had transitioned into predominantly civil operations.
The airport faces challenges primarily due to the region’s unpredictable weather conditions, including fog and smog during the morning hours of winter. Efforts are underway to upgrade runway 15/33 from an Instrument Landing System (ILS) CAT II runway to ILS CAT III, aiming to improve the airport’s capability to handle adverse weather conditions.
To address the cargo capacity limitations, the main runway underwent extension in 2008, enabling cargo flights to operate with heavier loads. Additionally, the cargo terminal was upgraded. In preparation for Curitiba’s role as one of the host cities for the 2014 FIFA World Cup, Infraero, the airport authority, announced an investment plan on 31 August 2009 to enhance Afonso Pena International Airport. The plan included enlarging the apron area and implementing new taxiways to improve operational efficiency.
Presently, the airport terminal spans an area of 45,000 square meters, featuring 14 jetways and the capacity to handle 15 million passengers annually. The airport complex includes various amenities, such as a small museum, a playcenter, and a mall with 60 stores, all conveniently located within the main terminal. Furthermore, the airport offers 800 parking spaces for the convenience of travelers.
