Maceió–Zumbi dos Palmares International Airport (IATA: MCZ, ICAO: SBMO), formerly called Campo dos Palmares Airport, is an international airport serving Maceió, Brazil. Since 16 December 1999 the airport is named after Zumbi dos Palmares (1645–1695) one of the pioneers of resistance to slavery in Brazil.[5]
The airport is operated since February 2020 by AENA.
History
On July 21, 1953, within a law prescribing rules for the naming of airports, the name of the facility was officially and exceptionally maintained as Palmares Airport.[6]
The airport complex underwent major renovation in 2005, in which the passenger terminal and apron were renovated and the runway was extended.
Previously operated by Infraero, on 15 March 2019 AENA won a 30-year concession to operate the airport.[7]
On 13 July 2023, AENA inaugurated some modernization works at the airport, providing it with completely renovated spaces and large operational areas, new quality parameters in the management of all activities, from environmental and safety adaptations to expansions and restructuring of physical spaces.[citation needed]
