Dealership monitors situation. Fraport also states that it is in contact with Civil Defense, authorities and airlines to monitor the situation at the airport.

Closed airport causes supply problem in the city, says mayor. According to Sebastião Melo (MDB), the Canoas Air Base becomes the main entry point for cargo by air with the closure of the capital’s airport.

We will not have passenger flights, therefore, Rio Grande do Sul will be isolated. There’s a lot of people [no estado]. Tourists, people who came to Serra or on business and were unable to leave. This is also an additional problem.
Sebastião Melo, mayor of Porto Alegre, in an interview with GloboNews
