Eurico de Aguiar Salles Airport (IATA: VIX, ICAO: SBVT), formerly called Goiabeiras Airport after the neighborhood where it is located, is the airport serving Vitória, Brazil. It is named after Eurico de Aguiar Salles (1910–1959) a local politician and law professor.

History

The airport handles domestic flights, and has the capacity to receive medium-sized aircraft such as the Boeing 737 and the Airbus 320.

In 2005 renovation works started at the airport. Projects included a passenger terminal located on a second runway and a control tower. The old terminal was converted into an international cargo terminal. The construction costed initially BRL 300 million, was paralyzed several times in 2006 and 2007 leaving construction virtually abandoned and delayed by overpricing and diversion of funds. It was finished on April 2018.

On March 15, 2019 Flughafen Zürich AG won a 30-year concession to operate the airport.
