Presidente Castro Pinto International Airport, located in the adjoining municipality of Santa Rita, serves as the primary airport for João Pessoa, Brazil. The airport derives its name from João Pereira de Castro Pinto (1863-1944), a distinguished lawyer, writer, and former Governor of the State of Paraíba. This naming honors his contributions to the region and serves as a tribute to his legacy.
The official inauguration of Presidente Castro Pinto International Airport took place on August 20, 1957, marking an important milestone in the region’s aviation history. For several decades, from February 1, 1979, to March 14, 2019, the airport was administrated by Infraero, the Brazilian government agency responsible for airport operations and development.
During the early 1980s, Infraero initiated significant renovations and expansions at the airport. The runway, taxiways, and apron underwent major improvements between 1980 and 1981, enhancing the airport’s infrastructure to accommodate larger aircraft and increased traffic. In 1983, a cargo terminal was opened, further facilitating the movement of goods and cargo through the airport. Subsequently, in 1985, a new passenger terminal was inaugurated, providing travelers with modern amenities and improved facilities. The terminal underwent further renovations and expansions in 1995, ensuring it could accommodate the growing number of passengers.
However, a pivotal change occurred on March 15, 2019, as AENA, a renowned Spanish company specializing in airport operations, secured a 30-year concession to operate Presidente Castro Pinto International Airport. This transition to AENA’s management signified a new phase for the airport, bringing with it the expectation of enhanced services, infrastructure development, and increased operational efficiency.
Presidente Castro Pinto International Airport plays a vital role in connecting João Pessoa and the surrounding region to domestic and international destinations. Passengers can enjoy modern facilities, comfortable waiting areas, and efficient services as they travel through the airport.
