Afonso Pena International Airport CWBSBCT

Afonso Pena International Airport (CWB) is the main airport for Curitiba and the wider Paraná market, located in São José dos Pinhais about 18 km from central Curitiba. Treat it as a strong regional airport rather than a global alliance hub: domestic flying is led by Azul, GOL and LATAM, with limited international service focused on nearby South American markets. As of 2026-06-21, TAP’s Lisbon service was scheduled to start after this date, so it should not be assumed as an operating long-haul option yet. The passenger experience is comparatively simple: one main passenger terminal handles domestic and international flights, while the old terminal is cargo-oriented, so most connections are walking transfers inside the same building.
