📋 Tender Overview
Porto Alegre do Norte Municipal Airport (MT) was purchased by the concessionaire GRU Airport during the first round of the AmpliAR Program, from the Ministry of Ports and Airports (MPor). The terminal, the only one in the state included in this phase, will receive R25.3 million in private investments, aimed at modernizing the infrastructure and expanding operational capacity.

According to the Minister of Ports and Airports, Silvio Costa Filho, the concession marks a new chapter for the municipality. The AmpliAR Program demonstrates the Federal Governments commitment to strong, inclusive and structured regional aviation. Porto Alegre do Norte will have a modern, safe and prepared airport to generate jobs, attract investments and improve the populations quality of life, he stated.
Regional development and economic impact
Regional development
The modernization of the airport will increase the citys aerial integration with large urban centers, facilitate passenger movement, strengthen cargo transport and expand business opportunities. The initiative should also boost regional tourism, strengthen the economy and support strategic events for the local productive sector.
With a 1,600 meter paved runway, one of the most structured in the region, the airport will be open to public traffic and prepared for operations with larger aircraft, significantly expanding operational capacity. The terminal will serve not only the municipality, but a population estimated at 250,000 inhabitants, spread over an area of more than 1,200 km without structured airports, ensuring faster access to services, markets and urban centers.
For the minister, the results go beyond physical infrastructure. A structured airport moves the economy, strengthens agribusiness, supports commerce and creates new opportunities. AmpliAR has this mission: to transform realities and bring development where it makes a difference, highlighted Silvio Costa Filho.
Connectivity, logistics and healthPorto Alegre do Norte stands out for its strong agricultural vocation. With the new modernized airport, producers, companies and entrepreneurs will have greater agility for travel, cargo transport, business and strategic connections with the rest of the country. We are talking about infrastructure that transforms realities. A structured airport strengthens agribusiness, moves the economy, generates jobs and opens up new opportunities for the region, said Silvio Costa Filho.
The new structure will also have a direct impact on public health. More than 1,000 kilometers from Cuiaba, a reference hospital in the state, Porto Alegre do Norte now has safer conditions for aeromedical operations and removal of patients in urgent situations, reducing response times and increasing the chances of adequate care.
