|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aracaju - Santa Maria Airport (regional) | AJU | 8 km (5 mi) | 7,218 ft | 23 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 7,218 ft, AJU handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 23 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
