Fortaleza Airport by Steve Koenig

26 February 2007   Customer Rating : n/a

Clean and modern when it was inaugurated maybe 15 (?) years ago, this airport is showing its age. The large, arching windows meant to let in light into the main ticketing/check-in areas, are perpetually filthy. Check-in area usually not too crowded, especially with the de facto demise of Varig Airlines and de jure demise of Air Madrid, but lines can vary widely by airline and time of day. There is one line to get into the boarding area, and at times the airport folks will now allow you in until a certain time (which makes no sense, since you will just be sitting in the boarding area). Pretty boring airport for a long wait. Food and shopping alternatives are limited, and nearly non-existent once you go through security. Competency of airport staff uneven, at best. Wait for luggage can vary widely but usually not too bad. I have arrived only on domestic flights so cannot comment on immigration/customs procedures. I departed once on an international flight (with 2 domestic stops en route) and the only difference for boarding was having to take off my shoes (and show my passport).
