Cascavel Airport

Airport Overview

Coronel Adalberto Mendes da Silva Airport, identified as CAC and SBCA, is the main air gateway for Cascavel in southern Brazil. Classified as a medium airport, it plays an important regional role by connecting the city and its surrounding agricultural and business areas with the wider country. For travellers, that means a more manageable airport experience than a major hub, with shorter distances inside the terminal area and a layout that is generally easier to navigate when arriving or departing.

What Travellers Should Know

Because the airport serves Cascavel rather than a huge metropolitan area, it is best suited to travellers who value convenience and a straightforward arrival. Its single runway, 15/33, supports regular regional operations, and the airport’s elevation of 2481 ft (756 m) means weather conditions may feel a little different from lower-lying Brazilian destinations. When planning your trip, use the local America/Sao_Paulo time zone for flight schedules, transfers, and hotel check-in times. For most visitors, the real advantage of CAC is practicality: it offers direct access to Cascavel without the scale, crowds, or complexity of Brazil’s biggest airports.
