Santo Ângelo Airport — Santo Ângelo, Brazil

Santo Ângelo Airport, coded GEL, serves the city of Santo Ângelo in Rio Grande do Sul, a state in southern Brazil known for its Jesuit mission heritage and agricultural economy. The airport functions as a regional gateway connecting this interior city to larger hubs such as Porto Alegre, supporting business travel tied to grain farming, cattle ranching, and regional trade. GEL's terminal is modest in scale, reflecting the airport's role serving a mid-sized city rather than a major metropolitan center. Flight frequency has fluctuated over the years depending on which Brazilian regional carriers maintain routes there. For residents of the Missões region, GEL provides a far shorter alternative to driving several hours to reach Porto Alegre's international airport.
