By Brazil Stock Guide – Brazil’s Ministry of Ports and Airports said it will allocate 424.2 million reais ($73 million) to regional airports in the Northeast as part of a broader aviation investment plan for 2026 and 2027, reinforcing the federal government’s push to improve connectivity and logistics outside major metropolitan centers.
The funds will be directed toward infrastructure modernization, safety improvements and project development at multiple airports across the region. Terminals in Feira de Santana and Conde, both in Bahia state, and Iguatu, in Ceará, are set to receive resources for technical studies and basic project design, a phase officials see as critical to speeding up future construction and upgrades.
According to National Civil Aviation Secretary Daniel Longo, investments at the planning stage help ensure more efficient execution of public works. “This type of investment speeds up construction and ensures more appropriate interventions,” Longo said.
The program also includes the installation of meteorological stations at the airports of Patos, in Paraíba, and Sobral, in Ceará, aimed at strengthening operational safety. Additional funds have already been earmarked for infrastructure works and upgrades at airports in Barra do Corda, Bacabal and Santa Inês, in Maranhão, Picos, in Piauí, and Ilhéus, in Bahia.
The new investment portfolio will rely heavily on Building Information Modeling, or BIM, which will be used in about 65% of the projects. Nationwide, the plan covers 34 projects across 31 airports in 16 states, with total estimated investments of 1.8 billion reais.
“The adoption of methodologies such as BIM reinforces this process by integrating technical data, costs and timelines, reducing risks, increasing efficiency and improving the quality of delivery,” Longo said.
