Gateway to Brazil's mineral-rich Triângulo Mineiro region.

Location
Araxá, Brazil
Romeu Zema Airport (IATA: AAX, ICAO: SBAX) serves Araxá, a city in the Triângulo Mineiro region of Minas Gerais state, Brazil. The airport is named after Romeu Zema, a prominent local political figure, and provides essential air connectivity for this mid-sized Brazilian city known for its niobium mining and thermal springs. The airport handles domestic traffic primarily linking Araxá to major Brazilian hubs such as São Paulo and Belo Horizonte. It is operated under Brazilian civil aviation infrastructure and supports both commercial passenger services and general aviation activities. Araxá's economy, driven by the Companhia Brasileira de Metalurgia e Mineração (CBMM), the world's largest niobium producer, generates significant business travel demand, making the airport strategically important to the regional economy.
