Belém International Airport, also known as Val-de-Cans/Júlio Cezar Ribeiro International Airport, is the primary airport serving the city of Belém, Brazil. The airport is situated in the neighborhood of Val de Cans (sometimes spelled Val de Cães), from which it derives its name. Notably, since April 13, 2010, the airport bears the additional name of Júlio Cezar Ribeiro de Souza (1837–1887), in honor of his contributions as a researcher of balloons.
The operation of Belém International Airport is managed by the Consortium Novo Norte, and certain facilities within the airport are shared with the Belém Air Force Base, which is under the purview of the Brazilian Air Force.
The history of Belém International Airport dates back to its humble beginnings as a simple land track along the east–west axis, spanning a length of 1,200 meters. During the onset of World War II, airports and airbases strategically located along the Brazilian coast played a pivotal role in supporting the transportation of aircraft, personnel, and equipment across the South Atlantic Ocean to West Africa. Initially, the airport consisted of a courtyard, a hangar, and a concrete parking structure intended for military aircraft, later referred to as the “Yellow Hangar.”
After a series of negotiations between Brazil and the United States, Belém International Airport airstrips were developed for the Air Transport Command, featuring two runways measuring 1,500 meters in length and 45 meters in width, constructed using a combination of concrete and asphalt. The airport’s modern facilities were designed to efficiently cater to the needs of both civil aviation and military operations.
Over the years, the original passenger terminal complex underwent significant renovation and expansion, in 1999, a brand-new passenger terminal was constructed adjacent to the old terminal. Following the opening of the new terminal, the old one was dismantled to make way for an extension to the new facility. This expansion substantially enhanced passenger comfort and provided a larger area, which included the addition of six jetways, facilitating smoother boarding and disembarking processes for travelers.
