Marechal Rondon International Airport (IATA: CGB, ICAO: SBCY) is the airport serving Cuiabá, Brazil, located in the adjoining municipality of Várzea Grande. It is named after Marshall Cândido Mariano da Silva Rondon (1865–1958), a Brazilian explorer.
It is operated by Infraero.
Marechal Rondon International Airport was inaugurated in 1956 but operated precariously until the first passenger terminal building was completed in 1964.
Infraero became the operator of the airport in 1975 and in 1996 it was upgraded to international status.
The first phase of the construction of the new passenger terminal was completed on 30 June 2006. The second phase will involve the demolition of the old terminal building and the construction of the enlargement of the new passenger terminal on its place.
The airport is located 10 km (6 mi) from downtown Cuiabá.
On 31 August 2009, Infraero unveiled a BRL30.9 million (USD16.3 million; EUR11.4 million) investment plan to up-grade Marechal Rondon International Airport focusing on the preparations for the 2014 FIFA World Cup which will be held in Brazil, Cuiabá being one of the venue cities. The investment will be distributed in the renovation of passenger the terminal, parking and access to the airport, with completion due in October 2012.
