About Júlio Belém Airport
Júlio Belém Airport, identified by IATA code PIN and ICAO code SWPI, is a state-administered regional airport serving the municipality of Parintins in Amazonas, Brazil. The facility handles turboprop aircraft and smaller jet categories comfortably within its 1,600-metre runway, making careful aircraft selection essential for private operators.
