He added that, in this context, one of the priorities is to improve airport structures. “There are almost 2 thousand passengers per hour who will be able to access the airport”, he emphasized.
New airport
Another government plan is to open an airport in Olímpia, for which it must set aside R$100 million. The municipality is in the metropolitan region of São José do Rio Preto. The government is still considering opening a second terminal, in a location to be defined based on assessments by a recently assembled working group.
According to Minister Silvio Costa, aviation in the country grew 15% in 2023. “Going from 98 million passengers to 112 million”, he added.
