Presidente João Suassuna Airport (IATA: CPV, ICAO: SBKG) is the airport serving Campina Grande, Brazil. Since August 2, 1960 it has been named after João Urbano Pessoa de Vasconcelos Suassuna (1886-1930), President of the State of Paraíba (at the time State Governors had the title of President) from 1924 to 1928.[5]

It is operated by AENA.

## History[edit]

Even though the airport was inaugurated in 1963, since the 1940s air services operated to the site, using an existent runway.

Infraero became the operator of the airport in 1980. In 1984 and 1998 it made extensive renovations, which included a new terminal capable of handling 250,000 passengers/year, and the renovation of the apron and runway. In 2003 it was re-inaugurated.

On March 15, 2019 AENA won a 30-year concession to operate the airport, replacing Infraero.[6]
