For Mayor Josmail Rodrigues, publishing the tender marks another step forward in developing local infrastructure.

“Bonito has been welcoming more and more visitors, and that requires investments that keep pace with this growth. Modernising our airport is essential to provide a more suitable structure for passengers, strengthen tourism and contribute to the municipality’s economic development. It is a project that benefits the whole population and everyone who chooses Bonito as their destination.“

Bonito Regional Airport plays a strategic role in the local economy, supporting tourism and increasing the municipality’s links with key hubs around the country. With the terminal upgrade, the expectation is to provide an even higher-quality welcome for visitors and to keep up with rising demand for flights to Bonito.
