Eurico de Aguiar Salles Airport (IATA: VIX, ICAO: SBVT), formerly called Goiabeiras Airport after the neighborhood where it is located, is the airport serving Vitória, Brazil. It is named after Eurico de Aguiar Salles (1910–1959) a local politician and law professor.

It is operated by Infraero.

The airport handles domestic flights, and has the capacity to receive medium-sized aircraft such as the Boeing 737 and the Airbus 320. It is considered one of the worst among the main airports in Brazil due to lack of renovations.

The airport is located 10 km (6 mi) from downtown Vitória.

In 2005 renovation works started at the airport. Projects include a new passenger terminal located on the opposite side of the runway in relation to the present terminal, a new control tower, and a new runway. The present terminal will be converted into an international cargo terminal. The renovation, budgeted at about BRL 300 million, was paralyzed several times in 2006 and 2007 leaving construction virtually abandoned and delayed by overpricing and diversion of funds. It is expected to be completed with a 72-month delay by 2015 although no real work can be seen in the area.
