Mucuri Airport (IATA: MVS, ICAO: SNMU) is a small public airport serving Mucuri in southern Bahia, Brazil, located near the inland district of Itabatã rather than the coastal city center. It primarily handles general aviation, air-taxi, and emergency flights, with limited or irregular scheduled service. Its position near the BR-101 makes it a practical access point for Itabatã and the wider Mucuri municipality, including the Costa das Baleias coast.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors confirm operations by phone before traveling: the terminal may be unstaffed outside confirmed flight times, and nearby Teixeira de Freitas (TXF) or Porto Seguro (BPS) offer more reliable commercial connections.
🚖 Getting There
The airport is not in Mucuri's coastal center; it sits near Itabatã, roughly 30–35 km west of the beach area. Pre-arrange a taxi, ride-hailing car, or hotel transfer, since regular public transport to the terminal is limited. By road, access is via the BR-101 and local roads, so allow extra time for the drive between the airport and the coast.
