Siri Airport
Siri Airport (SXI) is a small airstrip in Espírito Santo, Brazil, built primarily to support offshore oil platform operations rather than conventional passenger travel. The facility serves as a logistical link for personnel and equipment moving between onshore bases and offshore drilling installations along Brazil's southeastern continental shelf, an area significant to the country's petroleum industry. SXI typically handles helicopter and small fixed-wing traffic tied directly to energy sector schedules rather than regular commercial airline routes. Its operations reflect the broader pattern of specialized industrial airstrips scattered along Brazil's coast supporting offshore exploration. As oil activity in the region fluctuates, so too does the airport's traffic volume and operational tempo.
