Araguaína , in the state ofTocantins inBrazil .It is the main gateway to the Northern region of Tocantins State and, perhaps, to the Southern of Para and Maranhao States.

Downtown Araguaina is located approximately 8 km far away and can be reached by taxis or public transportation (although limited, buses run regularly all-day-long between the terminal and the city).The airport is currently undergoing refurbishment. Restoration is expected in the ramp, runway, runway lighting, and terminal building.
