São Luís–Marechal Cunha Machado International Airport (IATA: SLZ, ICAO: SBSL), formerly called Tirirical Airport, is the airport serving São Luís, Brazil. Since 17 October 1985, the airport is named after Air Marshall Hugo da Cunha Machado (1898–1989), born in Maranhão.[5]

It is operated by CCR.

History

[edit]

In 1942, a grass track measuring one thousand meters (runway 09/27), which served the airbase of the Brazilian Army, was the only way that São Luís had to receive flights. Runway 06/24 was built as part of the US base which began operating in 1943.[citation needed]

In 1974, technical jurisdiction, administrative and operational services were transferred to Infraero.[citation needed]

The new terminal of the airport was opened in June 1998 and in October 2004, it was upgraded to international category.[citation needed]

Previously operated by Infraero, on April 7, 2021, CCR won a 30-year concession to operate the airport.[6]
