The building was designed for 2 million passengers a year and 2025 traffic was about 2.56 million, with the crush between Christmas and New Year.

Socicam told R7 it expected more than 160,000 passengers and 1,108 flights from 20 December 2025 to 4 January 2026. Arrive early on those dates even though the terminal is one room.

Socicam added a metal-detector portal and X-ray in boarding room 03 and says that doubled throughput in that sector.

There is still one passenger terminal. The BRT Lounge is outside, across the road, so lounge time does not replace the security queue.

The directory puts almost every kitchen in the check-in hall or food court. Portão 7 is the outlet also listed inside the boarding room, and it is published as 24 hours.

Lounge Santa Mônica is a food-court restaurant open 06:00–19:30, not the VIP lounge.

DECEA lists runway 10/28 as 2,000 by 45 metres, with threshold 10 displaced 130 metres and threshold 28 displaced 70 metres. LDA is 1,800 metres on both ends.

Reference code 4C aircraft need an ANAC equivalent-safety authorization. In cloud, code 3 and 4 are limited to runway 10, and only with PAPI, crosswind at or below 12 knots, a stabilized approach by 1,500 feet, and maximum braking.
