Tangará da Serra Airport Guide

Tangará da Serra Airport (ICAO SWTS) serves Tangará da Serra, a city in western Mato Grosso. It sits about 13 km from downtown at an elevation of 449 m. The airport is a public aerodrome registered with ANAC under the local identifier MT0012.

It has a single asphalt runway, 18/36, about 1,500 m long and 30 m wide. No scheduled airline flights operate here, so the field handles general and regional aviation rather than commercial passenger traffic. Travellers who need an airline connection usually fly from larger airports elsewhere in Mato Grosso.

In January 2022 the federal government authorised the state of Mato Grosso to tender improvement works costing R$ 8.6 million. The plan covers runway resurfacing, a taxiway, an apron for larger aircraft, night lighting and PAPI approach indicators. Check current conditions with the operator before planning a flight.
