Major Brigadeiro Trompowsky Airport — Varginha, Brazil

Major Brigadeiro Trompowsky Airport, identified by the code VAG, serves the city of Varginha in Brazil's Minas Gerais state, a region globally recognized for producing some of the world's finest arabica coffee. This regional airport supports domestic flights connecting Varginha to São Paulo and other major Brazilian cities, facilitating business travel tied to the coffee export industry that dominates the local economy. VAG also gained unusual international notoriety due to a widely publicized 1996 incident in the city that became associated with unidentified flying object folklore, adding an unexpected layer of cultural curiosity to the town's identity. Beyond this curiosity, the airport remains fundamentally a working regional facility supporting Minas Gerais agricultural commerce and business travel.
