Garanhuns Airport (IATA: QGP, ICAO: SNGN), also known as Aeroporto Dom Moura, is a small regional airport serving Garanhuns in the Agreste highlands of Pernambuco, Brazil. Located roughly 6 km from the city center, it handles general aviation and occasional regional services with a single asphalt runway. Its highland setting gives it a cooler climate than coastal Recife and makes it a convenient gateway for the Garanhuns Winter Festival.
💡 Local Tip
During the July Winter Festival (Festival de Inverno), Garanhuns fills with visitors and nighttime temperatures can be surprisingly cool for Pernambuco; book transport and lodging early and pack a light jacket.
🚖 Getting There
Taxis and ride-hailing apps are the most practical way to reach Garanhuns city center, but availability can be limited at the airport, so arrange a pickup or call ahead. If you are driving, access is via the region's highway network (BR-423/PE-177), and the trip from Recife takes roughly 3 to 3.5 hours. Rental cars are more easily found in central Garanhuns than at the airport, so book in advance if needed.
