"At Fraport Brasil, our vision is to be the country’s leading airport operator. Not the size of the operation but  high quality is our goal. To accomplish this, we go beyond customers’ and stakeholders’ expectations. Efficiency and commitment are part of our Group’s DNA, and our Brazilian team is focused on demonstrating operational excellency day by day."
 

Andreea Pal, CEO Fraport Brasil S.A. Fortaleza- and Porto Alegre Airport

"It’s gratifying to see how fast things happened and how awesome the results are. We had very strict deadlines, but there was no issue we couldn’t handle. We doubled the size of the POA Terminal to 72.000 square meters, added check-in counters, new baggage carrousels, implemented the latest technology to optimize our operational processes, built a new parking garage and brought up the service level to international standards. POA is a completely modern airport today!”

Airina Ribas, Program Manager Landside/Infrastructure, Porto Alegre Airport

"We started the works to expand the Terminal, then we found out it was not possible to access a specific area due to a judicial issue between the former operator and its construction company. We’ll never forget an audience which took place at Fortaleza Airport to help to solve the stalemate. Fortunately, all went well. Today we offer to our passengers a very modern and client-focused Terminal which has doubled its size.”

Francisco Wagner da Silva, Mechanical Systems Maintenance Coordinator, Fortaleza Airport

"The climate events of 2024 in southern Brazil had a major impact on the apron and runway infrastructure at Porto Alegre Airport. It required a tremendous effort in planning and rebuilding the affected assets. With the support of all Fraport Brasil teams at both airports, as well as our suppliers, we were able to partially resume flight operations on October 21st — just four months later — and fully resume them on December 16th, ensuring both quality and safety. We continue to expand the capacity, quality, and safety of the apron and runway systems at Porto Alegre and Fortaleza airports.”

Diogenes Luciano Sartor, Airside Infrastructure Program Manager, Porto Alegre Airport

"It is a great responsibility to manage the Airline Marketing efforts to improve traffic and develop new routes at the Fortaleza and Porto Alegre airports, two of the greatest airports in Brazil and Latin America. Fortaleza has the perfect geographic position to become one of the most importants gateways to Brazil, being currently connected to Lisbon, Paris, Orlando, Miami, Santiago, Buenos Aires and now Cayenne and Madrid. Porto Alegre is increasingly strengthening its position as a hub for the southern cone of South America, either for cargo and passengers, having already confirmed the return of Lisbon, Panama, Buenos Aires, Lima, Santiago and many others expected by the end of 2025.”

Pedro Navega, Aviation Manager, Porto Alegre Airport

"Strict deadlines and a lot of human commitment were the trademark of the runway works at Fortaleza Airport. We could fulfill the requirements of the regulator and finished right before the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic. Our runway was extended to 2,755 meters, but the celebration took place only two years later due to the pandemic. We are a committed team who never gave up and has always done our best, even on the most uncertain days!”

Márcio Vasconcelos, Civil Systems Maintenance Coordinator, Fortaleza Airport

"Since we took over operations at Porto Alegre Airport, we continue working to provide the best quality of services to our passengers. Winning the ‘Aviação + Brasil 2023 Award’ in the “General Satisfaction category for airports with 5 to 10 million passengers a year’ means a lot to us. Our customers take part in the monthly survey conducted by the SAC (National Civil Aviation Secretary) and evaluate us according to their level of satisfaction. We are the number 1!”

Fabricio Cardoso de Lima – Director of Operations, Porto Alegre Airport

"We have won the ‘Aeroportos Sustentáveis Award’ of ANAC (National Civil Aviation Agency) for our sustainability achievements for the third time in 2022. During this path, we’ve learned a lot and implemented several sustainable initiatives at Fortaleza Airport. Being the third placed in the category ‘Airports with over 5 million passengers a year’ shows how much we enhanced our performance. The recognition is a reason for great joy for all of us.”
