Synopsis: In order to promote air transport between small and medium-sized cities in Brazil, the Government launched the Investment Programme in Logistics: Airports, which will provide 270 new terminals. Therefore, the airport authority (SAC) and Infraero, based on previous experiences (MOPs and terminals to World Cup 2014), present the Standard Small-sized Terminal Project – M Series, a modular solution, easily adaptable to different locations.
