Manaus–Eduardo Gomes International Airport (IATA: MAO, ICAO: SBEG) is an international airport serving Manaus, Brazil. On December 11, 1973, while still under construction, the name of the facility was changed from Supersonic Airport of Manaus (owing to its design enabling Concorde operations[5]) to Eduardo Gomes International Airport, celebrating the Brazilian politician and military figure Air Marshal Eduardo Gomes (1896–1981).[6]
It is operated by Vinci Airports.
