Still no noticeable changes to increase capacity or comfort in anticipation of the 2014 World Cup. No decent hotel
options anywhere nearby. Options to get to the city's beach areas, where most hotels are located, are taxis and
crowded public busses (plus a limited number of hotel shuttles).

This airport has gone downhill in the last couple of years. When we took off in mid-May of
2009, during a steady rain, the main terminal roof was leaking in several places, and there
were buckets placed throughout the terminal to catch the leaking water, though there were
still several puddles. All airport parking is uncovered, and there have been news reports of
robberies of people as they leave the lot. The FIFA team that inspected, and ultimately
approved, Fortaleza for 2014 World Cup games did visit the airport - fortunately for the city,
the inspection did not occur on a rainy day.

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).
