Presidente João Suassuna Airport
Presidente João Suassuna Airport, bearing the code CPV, connects Campina Grande in Brazil's Paraíba state to the wider Northeast through regional and domestic flights. The city built its reputation on hosting one of the country's largest São João festivities each June, a folk celebration that draws enormous crowds and briefly multiplies traffic through the terminal.
