Salgado Filho Porto Alegre International Airport, originally known as São João Federal Airport, serves as the main airport for Porto Alegre and the Greater Porto Alegre region in Brazil. It was officially named on October 12, 1951, in honor of Joaquim Pedro Salgado Filho, a prominent Senator and the first Minister of the Brazilian Air Force, who lived from 1888 to 1950. The airport’s operations are currently managed by Fraport Brasil.
The airport’s history dates back to May 31, 1923, when the first flights touched down at its location. However, it was not until 1940 that the first passenger terminal was constructed and put into operation. Subsequent improvements were made in 1953 when the runways were paved and the new Passenger Terminal 2 was inaugurated. Recognizing the need for further development, significant renovations and expansions were carried out between 1969 and 1971. Despite these efforts, the airport struggled to handle the increasing air traffic, necessitating the construction of a completely new and modern facility.
In January 2018, the operations and administration of Porto Alegre International Airport were taken over by Fraport, a private airport operator based in Germany. Since assuming the airport concession, Fraport embarked on an ambitious expansion project, which includes extending the runway from its current length of 2,280 meters (7,481 feet) to an impressive 3,200 meters (10,499 feet). This expansion enables the airport to accommodate larger aircraft and facilitates the landing of flights from North America and Europe. The new runway commenced operations in May 2022, marking a significant milestone in the airport’s development.
With the involvement of Fraport, Porto Alegre International Airport has undergone substantial improvements and upgrades, enhancing its capacity, efficiency, and international connectivity. The extended runway and improved infrastructure position the airport to cater to the growing demands of air travel, facilitating increased passenger traffic and opening doors to more direct flights from various destinations. As a result, the airport plays a crucial role in connecting Porto Alegre and the surrounding region with global destinations, fostering economic growth and promoting tourism in the area.
