Fernando de Noronha Airport — Fernando de Noronha, Brazil

FEN is Fernando de Noronha Airport, serving the Fernando de Noronha archipelago off the northeastern coast of Brazil. This remote island chain is a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its pristine beaches, marine biodiversity, and strict environmental tourism controls that limit visitor numbers to protect its ecosystem. FEN is the sole air gateway to the islands, connecting to mainland cities such as Recife and Natal, and given the lack of alternative transport options for most visitors, the airport plays an outsized role in the region's ecotourism economy. Flight capacity is deliberately limited in line with Noronha's conservation-focused tourism policy, making air travel there both essential and relatively exclusive compared to typical Brazilian coastal destinations.
