Corumbá International Airport (IATA code: CMG, ICAO code: SBCR) is the second most important airport of Mato Grosso do Sul, just behind Campo Grande International Airport. It is the airport serving Corumbá, Brazil. It is operated by Infraero. Built on a site of 290 ha, it has capacity for medium size planes as a Boeing 737 and Fokker 100.
The airport was one of the first to be built outside Brazilian main centers. On September 8, 1933, Syndicato Condor established services between Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Corumbá and Cuiabá with wheeled tri-engine Junkers 52. This service was a major break-through because previously an overland journey to Mato Grosso took several days.
On September 21, 1960, the present terminal was opened and in 1999 the whole airport complex was expanded: the passenger terminal was enlarged from 1,600m² to 2,400m², and the runway from 1,660x30m to 2,000x45m. In 2007 it received some repairs and further expansion.
