Gateway to Brazil's northernmost state capital, Roraima.

Opened

Location
Boa Vista, Brazil
Atlas Brasil Cantanhede International Airport, designated IATA code BVB and ICAO SBBV, serves Boa Vista, the capital of Roraima state in northern Brazil. It is the primary air gateway to a region largely accessible by air due to limited road infrastructure and its position near the Amazon basin. The airport handles both domestic and limited international traffic, with connections to major Brazilian cities such as Manaus and São Paulo. It plays a critical logistical role for the region, supporting humanitarian operations related to Venezuelan migration flows across the nearby border. Operated under Brazil's federal airport authority INFRAERO, the facility has been subject to modernization efforts to cope with increased passenger demand, particularly following the Venezuelan refugee crisis that brought significant population movement through Roraima.

The airport operates a single passenger terminal handling domestic and international flights.
Getting to & from
Ground transport to central Boa Vista is available via taxis and app-based ride services, with the city center located approximately 4 kilometers from the airport.
