Campo Nossa Senhora de Fátima is a temporary aerodrome located in Canoas, serving Porto Alegre and the region of Greater Porto Alegre, Brazil. It started operations on May 27, 2024, as a contingency measure after the indefinite closure of Salgado Filho Airport as a result of 2024 Rio Grande do Sul floods that caused critical damage to the latter.
It operates using the facilities (runways, taxiways and apron) of Canoas Air Force Base. A designated area within Park Shopping Canoas Mall is used as a passenger terminal. All passengers are transferred by bus between both locations, which are 4 km away from each other.[1]
It is operated by Fraport Brasil, the same operator of Salgado Filho International Airport.
The airport is located 6km (04miles) from downtown Canoas and 21km (13miles) from downtown Porto Alegre.
