Gateway to the remote Juruá Valley in western Acre.

Location
Tarauacá, Brazil
Tarauacá Airport (IATA: TRQ, ICAO: SBTK) is a small regional airport serving the municipality of Tarauacá in the state of Acre, in the western Brazilian Amazon. It provides essential air connectivity for a city that is otherwise accessible primarily by river or long road journeys through dense rainforest. The airport handles limited scheduled regional traffic, primarily connecting Tarauacá to other cities within Acre such as Rio Branco, the state capital. Given the challenging terrain and lack of road infrastructure in the region, air travel is a vital link for both passengers and cargo. The facility is modest in size and infrastructure, reflecting the small population it serves. Operations are managed under Brazil's federal aviation authority framework, and the airport plays a significant logistical role for the surrounding rural and indigenous communities.
Terminals
The airport has a single small terminal building with basic passenger facilities appropriate for its regional traffic volume.
Getting to & from
Ground transport to and from the airport consists primarily of taxis and informal vehicles, as public transit options in Tarauacá are limited.
Airlines here
Regional carriers such as Azul Linhas Aéreas have operated or codeshared routes connecting Tarauacá to Rio Branco and other Amazonian cities.
