Cabo Frio Airport is equipped to operate large cargo and passenger aircraft, with a capacity to handle 570,000 passengers per year.
The airport has a strategic location not only for tourism activities on the Costa do Sol (the facility is surrounded by the beautiful beaches of the region), but also for unloading supplies and equipment for the oil and gas industry, which is very strong in the region.
