Location

Bagé, Brazil

Comandante Gustavo Kraemer Airport (IATA: BGX, ICAO: SBBG) is a regional civil airport located in Bagé, in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, southern Brazil. It serves as an important access point for the Campanha Gaúcha region, a large cattle-ranching and agricultural area near the Uruguayan border. The airport is operated by Infraero, Brazil's national airport authority, and handles limited scheduled domestic passenger traffic. Its relatively modest infrastructure reflects the size of Bagé, a city of roughly 120,000 inhabitants, and the regional demand it serves. The airport is named in honor of Comandante Gustavo Kraemer, a figure associated with Brazilian aviation history in the region. Due to its border proximity, the facility also plays a role in supporting general aviation and regional connectivity.

Terminals

The airport has a single, small terminal building suited to low-volume regional passenger operations.
