|---|---|---|---|---|
| Senador Nilo Coelho Airport (regional) | PNZ | 9 km (6 mi) | 9,055 ft | 1,263 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 9,055 ft, PNZ handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 1,263 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
