On June 18th, the city of Cairu took a significant step towards its development with the approval of the project to modernize the Cairu Aerodrome on Tinharé Island . The announcement was made by Mayor Hildécio Meireles after a meeting in the office of the Minister of Ports and Airports, Silvio Costa Filho. Also present were the President of the Cairu City Council, Diego Meireles, Deputies Cláudio Cajado and Paulo Magalhães, the President of Codevasf, Marcelo Moreira, businessman Márcio Fonseca, and the National Secretary of Civil Aviation, Tomé.

Importance for Tourism and the Local Economy
The project and subsequent opening of the Cairu Aerodrome are crucial milestones for the development of tourism and the region's economy. By offering a new access option to Morro de São Paulo , it is expected to significantly improve the arrival experience for tourists, making travel faster and more comfortable. This initiative will reduce travel time to reach the island and strengthen the attractiveness of the destination , boosting regional economic growth.
Strategic Location and Benefits
Initially, there were plans to build an airport further away from Morro de São Paulo, near Garapuá, which would have made transportation between the airport and Morro de São Paulo more difficult. However, the decision to modernize the existing runway in the Morro de São Paulo district facilitates direct access, reducing both travel time and costs for visitors. This strategic location is fundamental to the project's success.
Context and Tourism Plan
The idea for the Cairu Aerodrome was first mentioned at the Cairu Tourism 2021-2024 meeting , held on May 18, 2022. During this meeting, the four pillars of tourism in the municipality were presented, within which the aerodrome fits, primarily in terms of tourism infrastructure:
- Tourist Infrastructure
- Qualification of Tourism Services
- Consolidation of Cultural, Historical and Religious Tourism
- Promoting New Tourist Destinations
Developing tourism infrastructure through the modernization of the airfield is a crucial step towards achieving the goals set for the sector.

Final Words
The creation of the Cairu Aerodrome is an initiative that will bring numerous benefits to tourists and the local economy, facilitating access to Morro de São Paulo and making the region even more attractive to visitors. We will continue to monitor the progress of this project and will inform you of any relevant news that impacts our visitors.
