Oscar Laranjeira Airport is the airport serving Caruaru, Brazil.
It is operated by Dix Empreendimentos.
The airport was commissioned in 1985 but remained closed from 2003 to 2006 due to repair works on the apron: twice, in 2000 and 2002, the apron collapsed under the weight of aircraft.[3]
Previously operated by Infracea, on May 16, 2022 the concessionary Dix Empreendimentos started operating the facility.[4]
The airport is located 5km (03miles) from downtown Caruaru.
