In terms of loads, the Recife Airport, which has been an important logistical center for receiving and sending inputs to fight the pandemic, is in 4th place, with a record of 15 thousand tons in the aforementioned period.

“These numbers are encouraging and reflect our efforts to add quality and safety to our operations.
