Salvador Bahia International Airport, officially known as Deputado Luís Eduardo Magalhães International Airport but commonly referred to as Salvador Bahia Airport, serves as the primary airport for Salvador, Brazil. Since June 16, 1998, the airport has been named after Luís Eduardo Maron Magalhães, a highly influential politician from the state of Bahia, as mandated by Federal Law. The airport’s operations are managed by Vinci SA, and certain facilities are shared with the Salvador Air Force Base, which belongs to the Brazilian Air Force.
Salvador Bahia International Airport’s history dates back to its establishment in 1925. In 1941, Panair do Brasil, with the support of the American and Brazilian governments during World War II efforts, undertook a comprehensive reconstruction of the facility, greatly improving its infrastructure.
On December 20, 1955, the airport was renamed Dois de Julho International Airport, commemorating Bahia Independence Day. To this day, the local population of Salvador da Bahia commonly refers to the airport by this name. However, on June 16, 1998, the airport was once again renamed to honor Luís Eduardo Maron Magalhães, in recognition of his significant contributions as a political figure in the state of Bahia. Since 2017, the airport has been marketed and known by the trade name Salvador Bahia Airport.
A new passenger terminal was inaugurated in 1998, replacing the outdated original terminal. Subsequent upgrades were carried out, and by the end of the year 2000, the new terminal was completed. The main terminal, which features a shopping mall, covers an area of 69,400 square meters (747,539 square feet), boasts 11 jetways, and has a capacity to handle 6,000,000 passengers per year.
The continuous development and modernization of Salvador Bahia International Airport have significantly enhanced its capabilities and services, catering to the increasing demand for air travel in Salvador and the surrounding region. With its upgraded facilities and expanding passenger capacity, the airport serves as a vital transportation hub, facilitating tourism, trade, and economic growth in the area.
