About Carlos Ruhl Airport
Carlos Ruhl Airport is a small general aviation airfield serving Cruz Alta, a municipality in northwestern Rio Grande do Sul. Located about 2 km from the city centre, it supports private flights, air charters and agricultural aviation in one of Brazil's important grain-producing regions.
The airport has two grass runways, 08/26 and 17/35, and sits at roughly 481 m above sea level. Its compact infrastructure includes a basic passenger shelter, hangars and administrative areas, without the commercial terminals found at larger hubs.
Historically linked to Varig, the site operated as a regional airport between the 1940s and 1980s and remains part of Cruz Alta's aviation heritage. Today it functions mainly as a local airfield, while scheduled commercial services connect through nearby airports such as Ijuí and Santo Ângelo.
Cruz Alta lies about 350 km northwest of Porto Alegre and is reached from the airfield by short road connections into the city centre, with regional highways providing onward access to the wider state.
