Billion-dollar complex planned for Camboriú brings together executive aviation, technology, logistics, and export in an area equivalent to millions of square meters, with private investment and the expectation of boosting different sectors of the regional economy in the coming years.

Camboriú, in the Northern Coast of Santa Catarina, advanced on June 17, 2026, in negotiations to receive AeroPark Camboriú, a private airport complex estimated at around R$ 1 billion and planned to occupy the Braço region.

In the presented structure, the enterprise is expected to bring together an executive airport, a technology park, aeronautical condominiums, and an area focused on export, creating a development front associated with private aviation, logistics, and new businesses in the municipality.

The advancement occurred with the delivery of a Memorandum of Intent to Mayor Leonel Pavan, accompanied by a draft of legal provisions, by representatives of the investor group responsible for the enterprise, according to the Camboriú City Hall.

Although it represents a new institutional stage, the document does not allow the immediate start of construction, but it paves the way for administrative procedures, technical studies, and necessary regulatory adjustments to enable the project before implementation.

AeroPark Camboriú will have an executive airport and technology park

Planned for an area of approximately 2.2 million square meters, AeroPark Camboriú was designed to integrate executive aviation, business activities, logistics, technological innovation, and real estate developments linked to the aeronautical sector.

According to the proposal presented to the municipality, the complex should include an executive airport, aeroclubs, aeronautical condominiums, a technology park, an airport terminal, business areas, and a Micro Export Processing Zone linked to the ZPE model.

In addition to airport infrastructure, the design of the enterprise includes hangars and spaces intended for companies in the sector, logistics operators, and technology businesses, focusing on services connected to private aviation and the regional economy.

In the planned infrastructure, the project includes 225 hangars, as well as areas aimed at aeronautical companies and logistics operators, while the City Hall describes the forecast of more than two hundred hangars in the complex.

Private investment exceeds R$ 1 billion

With an estimated value of approximately R$ 1 billion, AeroPark Camboriú is expected to be financed by the private sector, according to information released by the Camboriú City Hall and media outlets that covered the announcement.

Leading the proposal, the group of investors is headed by VexCapital, an identification disclosed by the municipal administration and relevant for clarifying who is conducting the project presented to the local public authority.

Even with the progress of negotiations, the implementation schedule has not yet been publicly defined, as the construction depends on obtaining environmental licenses before any forecast about the start of construction.

In projects of this scale, technical and environmental analysis usually influences deadlines, execution conditions, and possible adjustments in the final design, making these stages decisive for turning the proposal into a construction project.

Export Zone Expands Project Reach

Among the differentiators of AeroPark Camboriú is the provision for a Micro Export Processing Zone, a structure presented as a tool to host companies focused on producing goods and services for the international market.

To operate within the complex, the microzone must meet federal legislation requirements, including permanent customs control, its own territorial delimitation, and restrictions on uses incompatible with its economic purpose.

In the municipal administration’s assessment, the EPZ can stimulate exports, enhance industrial competitiveness, attract national and international investments, promote technological innovation, and contribute to generating qualified jobs in Camboriú.

With this structure, the project goes beyond executive aviation and also engages with foreign trade, advanced logistics, and business services aimed at markets outside the country.

Jobs Expected to Reach Construction, Technology, and Logistics

The expectation disclosed by the City Hall is that AeroPark Camboriú will generate thousands of opportunities during the implementation and operation phases, impacting civil construction, technology, logistics, tourism, commerce, and service provision.

As the exact number of positions was not detailed in the public information consulted, the estimate should be treated as a projection related to the scale of the project, rather than a fixed hiring figure.

During the construction phase, civil construction is expected to concentrate a significant portion of the demand for workers, while the operation of the complex may involve airport services, maintenance, administration, technology, logistics, and commercial activities.

The proximity to Balneário Camboriú also appears as a strategic factor in the official discourse, as the neighboring city has a valued real estate market, established tourism, and business flow on the Santa Catarina coast.

City Hall sees project as a new economic front

Commenting on the progress of the negotiations, Leonel Pavan stated that the project arrives at a strategic moment for Camboriú, driven by the municipality’s location and proximity to Balneário Camboriú.

In the same assessment, the mayor linked the venture to public policies aimed at sustainable growth and the modernization of local infrastructure, framing AeroPark as a bet on economic development.

Despite institutional optimism, effective implementation still depends on administrative processing, technical analyses, environmental licenses, and the formalization of the necessary conditions for executing private investment.

The City Hall treats the memorandum as the initial milestone of a new phase for the municipality, while the consolidation of the complex will depend on meeting the legal and environmental requirements foreseen for ventures of this size.

If it progresses as presented, AeroPark Camboriú could reposition the city on the regional map of infrastructure, logistics, and executive aviation, with expected impacts on economic sectors linked to new fronts of private investment.
