Private operator Motiva Infraestrutura Aeroportuária said on 3 April that the six airports under its management will process 404 000 passengers between 2 and 6 April—up 7.5 % year on year. Belo Horizonte/Confins tops the list with 190 000 passengers, followed by Curitiba (68 000) and Goiânia (41 000). Extra security lanes and self-bag-drop kiosks have been activated to keep peak wait times below 12 minutes. The company reminded travellers that the new biometric e-gate system installed at Confins still requires physical presentation of the entry/exit receipt (comprovante de saída) for foreigners departing Brazil. Corporate mobility teams should alert expatriates and consultants arriving on the older ‘cartão de entrada-saída’ to carry the stamped form or risk manual processing. Motiva is also piloting a “quiet airport” protocol in Goiânia, reducing PA announcements after 22h00. While appreciated by frequent flyers, the policy means first-time visitors must rely on screen updates; mobility managers may wish to add real-time flight-alert apps to the company’s approved-tool list.
