Júlio Belém Airport is the airport serving Parintins, Brazil. It is named after Júlio Furtado Belém (1911–1971), a local politician and member of the Amazonas State Assembly.
It is operated by the municipality of Parintins.
The airport was inaugurated on September 20, 1982 as a replacement to an older facility located closer to the city center, in the neighborhood of Palmares. The area is now the site of the Bumbódromo.
Every June, during the Parintins Folklore Festival, its traffic is greatly increased by charter and extra flights. In 2024, in twelve days and with the help of the Brazilian Air Force, Parintins air traffic control handled 980 operations with an all-time peak of 172 movements on July 1, 2024.[3]
The airport is located 5km (03miles) from downtown Parintins.
