Comandante Gustavo Kraemer Airport — Bagé, Brazil

Comandante Gustavo Kraemer Airport, coded BGX, serves Bagé, a city in Brazil's southernmost state, Rio Grande do Sul, near the border with Uruguay. At 600 feet in elevation, the airport works with two runways supporting regional traffic within southern Brazil. Bagé lies in the Campanha region, an area of rolling grasslands historically built around cattle ranching, an economy the city still shares culturally with neighboring Uruguay and Argentina across the nearby borders. BGX connects this southern border region to Porto Alegre and other cities in Rio Grande do Sul, reducing the long overland travel time across the state's grassland interior. The airport's name honors a local aviation figure, though today it operates as a modest, low-traffic field rather than a major commercial hub.
