Teresina Airport

Teresina–Senador Petrônio Portella Airport is the airport serving Teresina, Brazil. Since December 22, 1999 it is named after Petrônio Portella Nunes (1925–1980) a former mayor of Teresina, governor of Piauí, senator and minister of justice.

It is operated by ASUR.

History The airport was commissioned on September 30, 1967, and on December 23, 1974, it started being operated by Infraero.

The airport underwent major renovations between 1998 and 2001, including the passenger terminal, runway and the construction of a new control tower.

Previously operated by Infraero, on April 7, 2021 CCR won a 30-year concession to operate the airport. On April 26, 2025 CCR was rebranded as Motiva.

On November 18, 2025 the entire airports portfolio of Motiva was sold to the Mexican airport operator ASUR. Motiva will cease to operate airports. The transaction was completed on August 31, 2026.
