Rio Grande do Norte/São Gonçalo do Amarante–Governador Aluízio Alves International Airport, commonly known as Natal International Airport, is the primary commercial airport serving the city of Natal in northeastern Brazil. It operates under the IATA code NAT and ICAO code SBSG and replaced the older Augusto Severo Airport as the region's main air gateway. The airport was built to modern standards to accommodate growing passenger demand and international traffic, particularly from Europe and South America. It is managed under Brazil's airport privatization program, with operations overseen by Corporación América, which won the concession to operate the facility. Serving as an important hub for northeastern Brazil, the airport handles both domestic routes connecting major Brazilian cities and international flights, benefiting from its strategic location near transatlantic routes between South America and Europe.
