Dom Ricardo Weberberger Airport (IATA: BRA, ICAO: SNBR) is the airport serving Barreiras, Brazil.

History

The airport was commissioned in 1940 and served as a strategic technical stop on the route Rio de Janeiro-Miami, enabling faster flights as compared with the ones operated via the coast. Furthermore, because of the existence of a river and a railway, fuel was easily transported to the site. During World War II the airport became a United States Air Force Base but after 1945 it returned to its original civil vocation.
