Paulo Afonso Airport — Paulo Afonso, Brazil

PAV is Paulo Afonso Airport, serving the city of Paulo Afonso in the Brazilian state of Bahia, located along the São Francisco River near the Paulo Afonso Falls. The city grew significantly due to major hydroelectric dam projects built on the river, and the airport historically supported the workforce and administrative activity tied to Brazil's electric power infrastructure in the region. PAV offers limited domestic flight connections, primarily serving business and government travel related to the hydroelectric complex and regional trade. The surrounding area is known for its dramatic river canyon scenery, though tourism traffic through PAV remains modest compared to the airport's industrial and administrative importance.
