Fortaleza International Airport – Pinto Martins, serves as the principal international airport for the city of Fortaleza, Brazil. The airport takes its name from Euclides Pinto Martins (1892–1924), a pioneering aviator born in Ceará. Martins played a significant role in establishing the air link between New York City and Rio de Janeiro in 1922. Fraport Brasil operates the airport, and it shares some facilities with Fortaleza Air Force Base.
The airport’s origins trace back to a runway constructed in the 1930s, initially used by the Ceará Flying School until the year 2000. During World War II, the airport served as an important allied base supporting operations in the Southern Atlantic region. On May 13, 1952, the airport underwent a name change, transitioning from Cocorote Airport to its present-day designation, Fortaleza Pinto Martins Airport.
Significant improvements and expansions have been undertaken to enhance the airport’s infrastructure. On April 27, 2018, construction commenced on a two-story terminal extension, accompanied by the expansion of the terminal and tracks. The taxi and traffic areas were remodeled, and the airport road system was redesigned, including the construction of a viaduct. On June 25, 2019, a check-in area with 60 positions was inaugurated, marking a notable milestone in the ongoing renovation project. Finally, on April 14, 2020, the comprehensive renovation was completed, further enhancing the airport’s operational capacity.
Presently, Fortaleza International Airport can accommodate up to 4 million passengers per year and offers 14 aircraft parking positions. The upgraded facilities and expanded infrastructure ensure improved services and increased efficiency for travelers. The airport serves as a vital transportation hub, connecting Fortaleza with domestic and international destinations, contributing to the region’s economic development, tourism, and connectivity.
With its rich history, modern amenities, and enhanced capabilities, Fortaleza International Airport continues to play a pivotal role in facilitating air travel and serving as a gateway to the vibrant city of Fortaleza and its surrounding regions.
