Porto Alegre International Airport - Salgado Filho (IATA: POA, ICAO: SBPA) is an international airport in the municipality of Porto Alegre, in Rio Grande do Sul. It is the largest and busiest airport in Rio Grande do Sul and the ninth most Brazil's number of passengers transported.
The airport complex was granted to the private sector on March 16, 2017. In an international bidding process, in which the Federal Government granted four Brazilian airports to the private sector, Fraport AG won the concession for the airports of Fortaleza and Porto Alegre for the next 30 and 25 years, respectively. Since then, Fraport Brasil - Fortaleza and Fraport Brasil - Porto Alegre were established in the country with the objective of creating two modern, efficient and customer-focused airports. The company took over the management of the airport on July 28, 2017 and has agreed on a concession contract for several improvements to the Passenger Terminal infrastructure.
Covering a total area of 850,000 m² in the north of Porto Alegre, the airport complex has its own road access system. Avenida Severo Dullius, the access road to the airport, connects with Avenida dos Estados, complement of BR-116. The entire structure is divided into a passenger terminal and an administrative building.
It was the first airport managed by Infraero to have an integrated check-in system. The airport has an Instrument Landing System (ILS) Category II at head 11 (west), allowing landings with a minimum horizontal visibility of 400 meters. The system is very useful in the periods between June and August, when a huge number of morning arrivals are delayed or canceled due to fog.

Some historic facts:
The Archipelago of the Azores is composed of nine volcanic islands situated in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean. The Portuguese archipelago is located about 1,500 km (930 mi) west from Lisbon and about 3,900 km (2,400 mi) east from the east coast of North America. The archipelago, and economic exclusion zone, forms the Autonomous Region of the Azores, one of the two autonomous regions of Portugal. Its main industries are: agriculture, dairy farming (for cheese and butter products primarily), minor livestock ranching, fishing and tourism, which is becoming the major service activity in the region.
There are nine major Azorean islands and an islet cluster, in three main groups. These are Flores and Corvo, to the west; Graciosa, Terceira, São Jorge, Pico and Faial in the centre; and São Miguel, Santa Maria and the Formigas Reef to the east. These extend for more than 600 km (370 mi) and lie in a northwest-southeast direction. The vast extent of the islands defines an immense exclusive economic zone of 1,100,000 km2 (420,000 sq mi). The westernmost point of this area is 3,380 km (2,100 mi) from the North American continent. All of the islands have volcanic origins, although some, such as Santa Maria, have had no historical activity since the islands were settled. Mount Pico, on the island of Pico, is the highest point in Portugal, at 2,351 m (7,713 ft) in altitude. The Azores are actually the peaks of several of the tallest mountains on the planet, as measured from their base at the bottom of the ocean, breaking the surface of the Atlantic.
These 9 islands have naturally evolved into three recognizable groups located within the Azores Platform; they are:
The Eastern Group (Grupo Oriental) of São Miguel, Santa Maria and Formigas Islets
The Central Group (Grupo Central) of Terceira, Graciosa, São Jorge, Pico and Faial
The Western Group (Grupo Ocidental) of Flores and Corvo.
