Florianópolis-Hercílio Luz International Airport, commonly known as Floripa Airport, is the primary airport serving the vibrant city of Florianópolis in Brazil. The airport is named in honor of Hercílio Pedro da Luz (1860–1924), a distinguished former governor of the state of Santa Catarina and senator. The operation of the airport is managed by Zurich Airport Brasil. Additionally, some facilities within the airport are shared with the Florianópolis Air Force Base, which is under the jurisdiction of the Brazilian Air Force.
The origins of Hercílio Luz International Airport trace back to the site of a former Air Naval Base, which operated until 1941 when it was transferred to the Brazilian Air Force. Substantial development took place between 1942 and 1945, during which time the infrastructure was expanded to include runway 03/21, the apron, control tower, and passenger terminal. Simultaneously, the necessary facilities for the Florianópolis Air Force Base were constructed and made operational.
In the period from 1952 to 1954, the passenger terminal underwent significant reconstruction and remained in use until 1976, when a new terminal building and apron were inaugurated. The original terminal now serves as the cargo terminal, catering to the transportation of goods. The new terminal experienced subsequent expansions in both 1988 and 2000, gradually growing in size until reaching its current area of 8,703 square meters.
On January 15, 2018, construction began on an additional terminal to accommodate the growing demand for air travel. Hercílio Luz International Airport’s new terminal, positioned on the opposite side of the main runway from the existing terminal, featured 14 additional gates, including three designated for international flights and 11 for domestic flights. Alongside the terminal expansion, the main runway was extended by 100 meters (330 feet), bringing its total length to 2,400 meters (7,900 feet). Operations at the new terminal commenced on October 1, 2019, providing enhanced capacity and improved services to passengers traveling through the airport.
