“These airports are part of our state expansion planning. They were included in the State Aviation Plan and this process is part of the entire process necessary for them to be officially recognized and subsequently receive investments”, explains secretary Beto Martins.
The State intends to adopt the same procedure for Itapiranga Airport, also included in Paesc, when all the necessary documentation is gathered to continue the process.
Airports in Pinhalzinho and Rio Negrinho
The municipality of Pinhalzinho is the owner of an appropriate area, whose technical feasibility for implementing the aerodrome has been approved. The municipal executive has already contracted an executive project for implementing the airport.
The municipality of Rio Negrinho has an area where the local Aero Club operates, with a paved take-off and landing strip. The area measures 1,198 meters long by 22 meters wide. The municipality is authorized by municipal law to acquire the area.
