Pinto Martins – Fortaleza International Airport is the airport serving Fortaleza, Brazil. It is named after Euclides Pinto Martins (1892–1924) a Ceará-born aviator, who in 1922 was one of the pioneers of the air-link between New York and Rio de Janeiro. It is operated by Infraero. Some of its facilities are shared with the Fortaleza Air Force Base of the Brazilian Air Force. ==History== The airport has its origins on a runway built in the 1930s and which was used by the Ceará Flying School until 2000. During World War II, the airport was an important allied base supporting the Southern Atlantic operations. On May 13, 1952 the original name, Cocorote Airport, was changed to its present name. In 1966 a passenger terminal and apron were built. Those facilities are now used by general aviation operations. Since January 7, 1974 the airport is operated by Infraero and in 1997 it was upgraded to international category. In February 1998 a new passenger terminal was opened. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pinto Martins – Fortaleza International Airport」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
