Helmuth Baungarten Airport serves the small municipality of Lontras in the Alto Vale do Itajaí region of Santa Catarina state, Brazil. Named in honor of a local figure, it functions as a general aviation and small regional airstrip supporting the surrounding agricultural communities. Its modest infrastructure reflects the rural character of the region while providing essential air access to an otherwise road-dependent area.
- General Aviation Terminal — A single small facility handling light aircraft operations, private flights, and limited regional traffic.
- Taxi services available on request from local providers
- Private car rental through local arrangements
- Road access via SC-418 connecting to nearby municipalities
- Pousada Vale Verde (Lontras region)

In-terminal dining options are essentially nonexistent given the airport's small scale. Visitors will find local restaurants and snack bars in Lontras town center serving traditional Southern Brazilian cuisine, including churrasco and colonial-style dishes reflecting the region's German immigrant heritage.
- Confirm flight operations directly with local aviation authorities or your operator before arrival, as schedules are irregular.
- Carry cash, as card payment infrastructure may be limited in the surrounding area.
- Rio do Sul, approximately 20 km away, offers the nearest comprehensive services including hotels, hospitals, and larger restaurants.
- Road conditions on rural connectors can vary seasonally — check ahead during heavy rain periods.
