About Barra Grande Airport
Barra Grande Airport (IATA: MUU, ICAO: SIRI) is a small private aerodrome serving the beach district of Barra Grande in the municipality of Maraú, Bahia. It acts as an air gateway to the Maraú Peninsula, a stretch of southern Bahia known for beaches such as Taipu de Fora and Ponta do Mutá.
The airfield has a single asphalt runway of about 1,000 metres and mainly handles general aviation, private aircraft and air taxi flights rather than scheduled commercial services. Air taxis connect Barra Grande with larger airports such as Salvador and Ilhéus, offering a faster alternative to long road journeys.
Located about 4 km from the centre of Barra Grande and roughly 31 km from downtown Maraú, the airport sits close to the village and its pousadas, restaurants and beach access. Road connections continue toward Itacaré and other coastal towns in the region.
Because the airport is small and private, passengers usually arrange ground transportation in advance. Taxis, private transfers, 4x4 vehicles and pre-arranged drivers cover the short journey into Barra Grande or onward travel along the coast.
