Viracopos Cargo Terminal records a 12.2% increase in cargo movement in the 1st quarter

Viracopos International Airport, in Campinas (SP), recorded a cargo movement of 70.1 thousand tons in the first three months of 2026, an increase of 12.2% compared to the same period last year. Performance was driven by the pharmaceutical, technology and metalworking segments.

The result includes cargo movement in the import, export, national cargo and express shipments (courier) modes. The data also indicates the best result for the month of March in the last three years, recording a total of 26.9 thousand tons received compared to 23.2 thousand in March last year, resulting in an increase of 15.8%.

The increase in the pharmaceutical segment, which boosted the results of the first half, is the result of the improvement in the sector’s infrastructure, carried out by the concessionaire ABV in recent years. In addition to the infrastructure, Viracopos renewed, at the beginning of 2026, the international CEIV Pharma certification, valid until 2028, reinforcing its position as one of the main airports in Latin America for importing and exporting products from the pharmaceutical industry.
