Brigadeiro Lysias Rodrigues Airport — Palmas, Brazil

Brigadeiro Lysias Rodrigues Airport, coded PMW, serves Palmas, the youngest state capital in Brazil, founded in 1989 as the planned capital of Tocantins state. The airport supports government administrative travel given Palmas's role as a state capital, as well as domestic flights connecting to Brasília, São Paulo, and other major Brazilian cities. Palmas sits along the Tocantins River in a region increasingly tied to agribusiness expansion in Brazil's agricultural frontier. PMW has seen infrastructure investment to keep pace with the city's rapid growth since its founding, serving both business travelers and residents of this relatively new urban center in north-central Brazil.
