The Airport Hub Will Have a 54,000 m² Runway Capable of Accommodating All Models of General Aviation, Business Jets, Single-Engine and Twin-Engine Aircraft

The connection for water and energy to the hangars will be executed in 2023.

Initially, the 54,000 m² runway will be capable of accommodating all models of general aviation, business jets, single-engine and twin-engine aircraft.

However, according to the project manager, Breno Luiz Rojas, a study is being conducted to identify the possibility of widening the runway so that larger aircraft can also use the facility.
