The City of Santa Rosa, in Rio Grande do Sul, Is Going Through a Time of Great Development of Airport Services. All of This Due to the Investments Made by the Local Government, Which Has Worked to Expand the City’s Airport.

On Wednesday, February 15, the update of the technical project for the expansion of Santa Rosa – Luís Alberto Lehr Airport was announced. For this, a total amount of R$ 43 million was made available, guaranteed through the agreement signed between Federal Government and local city hall. Soon after, the company contracted by the city hall began to prepare the budget for the work for later submission to SAC – Civil Aviation Secretariat.

Among the main improvements planned are the expansion of the runway, increasing from 1,200 meters to 1,630 meters, in addition to another 120 meters of paved safety areas (blast pads) and 180 meters of unpaved area (RESAs). This change means that aircraft will be able to depart from the city and fly up to 600 nautical miles (about 1,100 kilometers), which will enable direct flights to other cities such as Curitiba, São Paulo, and Campo Grande.

All this significant movement is only possible thanks to the insistence of the Municipal Government in seeking resources and solutions that promote the development of the city. Mayor Anderson Mantei highlighted: “This is one of the most important projects of our administration. We believe in and are working for the development of Santa Rosa, and the airport is essential for us to continue evolving, growing, and offering more quality of life to our community.” In addition, 72 hectares were acquired for the works, with 37 hectares alone in the last year.
