Gateway to Brazil's remote Juruá River valley.

Location
Cruzeiro do Sul, Brazil
Cruzeiro do Sul Airport (IATA: CZS, ICAO: SBCZ) serves the city of Cruzeiro do Sul in the far western state of Acre, Brazil, near the border with Peru. It is one of the most important air links for the region, as the city has no paved road connection to the rest of Brazil and aviation is the primary means of long-distance travel. The airport handles scheduled domestic flights connecting Cruzeiro do Sul to Rio Branco, the state capital of Acre, and to other Brazilian cities. Given the isolation of the surrounding Amazon rainforest region, the airport plays a critical role in the local economy, logistics, and public health services. The facility is classified as a public airport and is administered under Brazil's federal airport infrastructure framework. It serves a modest but essential passenger volume for a city of roughly 90,000 inhabitants surrounded by dense jungle.
Terminals
The airport operates a single passenger terminal suited to the modest traffic volume of this remote Amazonian city.
Getting to & from
Ground transport from the airport to the city center is primarily via taxis and private vehicles, as formal public transit options are limited.
Airlines here
LATAM Airlines and Azul Brazilian Airlines have operated scheduled services at Cruzeiro do Sul Airport, connecting it to Rio Branco and other domestic destinations.
