From tourism to agriculture, Cuiabá is a privileged city. Capital of Mato Grosso, the Cidade Verde benefits in several ways for leading a state cut by natural beauty and enriched by agrarian activities. This combination invariably has a sector in vogue: executive aviation. It is aboard helicopters and private jets that the extensive Mato Grosso territory is comfortably explored, demonstrating why air taxi in Cuiabá are especially important.
The city is literally at the center of the South American map. Within the territory of the municipality, at coordinates 15°35’56”.80 S and 56°06’05”.55 W, is the Pascoal Moreira Cabral square, a landmark that represents the Geodesic Center of South America. This attests to the privileged position of the air taxi sector in Cuiabá which, occupying the central portion of the continent, has an efficient operating range both nationally and internationally.
Capital of the largest grain-producing state in Brazil, with an exported volume greater than the sum harvested by 20 states in the country, Cuiabá serves as a hub for large farmers. This wealthy portion of Mato Grosso society has long been totally familiar with executive aviation, often even owning their own fleets for various types of travel.
Still, the sporadic use coupled with the high maintenance cost of a jet makes this operation unfeasible for some. Captained by the air taxi sector in Cuiabá, private aviation becomes, therefore, a fundamental part of the daily life of this national agricultural power, connecting inhospitable regions and carrying out personalized operations that come to pick up or drop off a passenger at their doorstep.

Cuiabá International Airport (CGB, SBCY)
Although the capital of Mato Grosso commonly takes its name, the Marechal Rondon International Airport is located in Várzea Grande, the second largest city in the state. Just 8 kilometers from Cuiabá, the airport has easy access and the ideal equipment for those traveling to the paradisiacal Pantanal and Chapada dos Guimarães or traveling to/from other regions of Brazil.
As it receives commercial aviation aircraft, the Cuiabá Airport runway is paved, wide, and long enough to operate most categories of executive aviation. The highlight is the privatization of the equipment, which, together with the airports of Alta Floresta, Rondonópolis, and Sinop, is under the management of Centro-Oeste Airports until 2049, with the promise of expansions and investments of R$ 770 million in the four existing terminals.
In Flapper’s system, the list of helipads and airports in Brazil and Latin America adds more than 1,000 addresses. Even if the airstrip for a farm or property is not on this list, we can still get you there. Helipads and runways not approved in the civil aviation system of the National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC) can be used normally as long as the Flapper team previously assesses the landing conditions and the quality of the aerodrome in question.
