New Phase of the AmpliAR Program Will Transform the Air Network of the North and Northeast: Auction of 19 Airports Promises Robust Investments and Greater Connectivity

The federal government is preparing for a new step in the modernization of Brazilian regional aviation. Still in June, the Ministry of Ports and Airports (MPor) will launch a public call to auction 19 airports located in the Legal Amazon and the Northeast. The proposal is part of the first phase of the AmpliAR program, an initiative that has already been approved by the Brazilian Court of Accounts (TCU).

The goal is to attract private investments totaling R$ 1.35 billion, which will be distributed among the 19 airports planned, averaging R$ 77 million per airport. The significant change in the model is that, unlike what was proposed in the public consultation, the terminals will not be grouped into blocks: each will be offered individually, which should facilitate attracting investors focused on regional opportunities.

Concessions with Potential for Immediate Impact

The 19 strategic airports are distributed across 11 states and are crucial for air access to inland cities that are logistically challenging. The idea is to improve not only the physical infrastructure of these units but also to enhance air connectivity, particularly in more isolated areas of the Amazon and the northeastern semiarid region.

Check out the list of cities that will have their airports included in this initial phase:

Aracati (CE)

Araripina (PE)
Barcelos (AM)
Barreirinhas (MA)
Cacoal (RO)
Cruz (CE)
Garanhuns (PE)
Guanambi (BA)
Itacoatiara (AM)
Itaituba (PA)
Lençóis (BA)
Parintins (AM)
Paulo Afonso (BA)
Porto Alegre do Norte (MT)
São Raimundo Nonato (PI)
Serra Talhada (PE)
Tarauacá (AC)
Vilhena (RO)

Expansion of Regional Aviation is a Strategic Priority

The expansion of the regional air network has been identified as a key component to reducing logistical inequalities and boosting tourism in areas with great potential but limited air accessibility. In a recent interview with Estadão, Minister Silvio Costa Filho highlighted that AmpliAR will place “strategic airports in the spotlight” to enhance the mobility of inland populations.

In addition to the investment in infrastructure, the concessions also foresee the modernization of security systems, boarding and disembarking areas, runways, and basic support services for aircraft. The initiative complements other federal government efforts to decentralize air traffic, which is traditionally concentrated in large urban centers like São Paulo, Brasília, and Recife.

In the cold desert of Ladakh, where it hardly rains, engineer Sonam Wangchuk created the ice stupa, a tower that freezes winter water and stores it for irrigating crops in the spring, a simple engineering feat that mimics nature.

Libya built over 4,000 kilometers of underground pipelines to bring water from the Sahara to coastal cities in a project that the government itself called the Eighth Wonder of the World.

Chinese woman planted trees for decades while sand buried part of her house, received $5,000 from an American in 1999, and helped transform the desert into a forest of 8 million trees in China.

Almost 6,000 residents live concentrated along a single street nearly 9 km long in the interior of Poland. Houses form a continuous row, and behind them, narrow agricultural strips emerge, creating one of the most unusual rural patterns in Europe.

Desert sand, previously discarded for being too smooth for concrete, becomes an ecological brick in the United Arab Emirates, dispensing with Portland cement, curing at room temperature, and attempting to transform dunes useless for construction into raw material for a new arid engineering.

Described by astronauts as one of the most unlikely natural phenomena on Earth, the Okavango Delta spreads over up to 15,000 square kilometers in the middle of the desert and transforms Botswana into a living labyrinth of channels, islands, and flooded areas.

Two helicopters, 41 people, and over 38 tons of bait were mobilized on a remote Pacific atoll to eliminate rats; five years later, native trees grew by 5,000%, seabirds gained habitat, and the rainforest began to regenerate.

After the divorce, a woman spent four years building a studio apartment with skylights, mirrors, a bathtub hidden under the sofa, and family mementos for a fresh start.

China signals an increase in beef imports, Brazil has already consumed 70% of the 1.106 million ton quota and seeks to renegotiate the tariff that jumps from 12% to 55%, while demand from the US also skyrockets.

The “Rei do Bolão” of Fortaleza made 100 people millionaires at once in the Mega-Sena: the lottery office in Aldeota divided R$ 168 million in a pool and delivers a bet from São Paulo to Dubai.

Caoa Changan CS75 arrives for R$ 199,990 with 4.77 m in length, a trunk of up to 1,620 liters, 8-speed Aisin transmission, 180 hp, 37.2 inches in screens, and Zero Gravity seat with massage.

Food inflation rose 302% in 20 years in Brazil, but the supermarket changed: purchasing power yielded 87% more mortadella and 31% less fruit, and ultra-processed foods took over the cart.
