Airport Overview
Vilhena Airport (Brigadeiro Camarão Airport) (BVH) · SBVH · Vilhena, Rondônia, Brazil
Vilhena Airport (Brigadeiro Camarão Airport) is a regional Brazilian airport serving Vilhena and the surrounding interior of Rondônia. Its position at approximately 12.6944° S, 60.0983° W and its UTC−04:00 time zone make it relevant to time-sensitive regional distribution, industrial replenishment and project-related shipments in western Brazil. It should be treated as a regional gateway rather than assumed to be an international cargo hub or a dedicated freighter station. For international freight, our service team normally evaluates the complete routing, including the Brazilian gateway, domestic connection, customs process and final road leg. Carrier acceptance, aircraft payload, handling availability, operating days and shipment cut-off must be reconfirmed for each booking.

Key Highlights
Regional gateway profile
Useful for Vilhena-area distribution, but not a routing point that should be presumed to offer international freighter connectivity.
Routing depends on uplift confirmation
Available capacity, aircraft type, operating schedule and station acceptance must be checked before quoting a firm plan.
Domestic connection planning
International cargo may require transfer through a larger Brazilian gateway followed by a regional air or road segment.
Road-leg control is material
For oversized, urgent or temperature-sensitive freight, the airport-to-consignee transfer can determine the practical transit time.
Pre-alert discipline
Advance document review is important where local handling, customs presentation or special cargo acceptance is not available on every operating day.
Cargo Facilities & Services
The supplied airport record does not establish a dedicated cargo terminal, bonded warehouse, cold room, dangerous-goods store, live-animal facility or automated sorting centre. Our service team therefore confirms each capability with the operating carrier, ground handler and customs representative before acceptance.
- General cargo: Confirm acceptance of loose cargo, palletised freight, irregular pieces and required build-up or breakdown arrangements before tender.
- Bonded and customs handling: Establish whether the shipment will be presented locally or cleared at another Brazilian gateway, and align the MAWB, HAWB and import or export instructions accordingly.
- Temperature-sensitive cargo: Obtain written confirmation of cool-room access, handover limits, dry-ice handling and exposure protection; do not rely on airport-side storage assumptions.
- Dangerous goods: Verify carrier and handler acceptance by UN number, packing instruction, quantity and aircraft restriction. A local cargo acceptance point should not be presumed to process all DG classes.
- Oversized or heavy freight: Confirm aircraft door dimensions, lifting equipment, ramp procedures and road delivery equipment before booking.
- Delivery and collection: Arrange named-party pickup, identification requirements, release documentation and truck availability in advance.
Routes & Transit Times
Vilhena Airport (Brigadeiro Camarão Airport) should be planned as part of a door-to-door routing rather than as an independently guaranteed international airfreight lane. The precise route and transit time vary with the booked carrier, available regional uplift, gateway connection, customs status and final road delivery.
- International exports: Our team can assess a road feeder or regional air movement from Vilhena to a suitable Brazilian gateway, followed by the international sector, subject to carrier acceptance.
- International imports: Cargo may require import clearance and transfer procedures at the Brazilian gateway before onward movement to Vilhena. The customs regime and consignee instructions must be confirmed before departure.
- Regional shipments: Domestic air connections may be viable when capacity is available; otherwise, a controlled road feeder can be evaluated for the airport-to-airport or airport-to-door leg.
- Time-sensitive cargo: We quote only after checking the actual uplift, transfer window, warehouse cut-off, customs availability, weekends and local holidays. No fixed transit promise should be made from airport geography alone.
Hinterland & Key Cargo
The airport serves the Vilhena area and its road-connected commercial hinterland in Rondônia. Our team typically screens the shipment according to urgency, handling sensitivity and road accessibility rather than assuming that every commodity will be suitable for direct uplift.
Industrial replenishment
Production spares, maintenance parts, tools and urgent replacement components may benefit from an airport-linked solution when local uplift is confirmed.
Commercial and retail cargo
Small consignments, samples, promotional goods and high-value business materials can be assessed against baggage-style restrictions, packaging and declared value requirements.
Agribusiness support
Documents, equipment parts and time-sensitive operational supplies connected with the regional agribusiness economy may require coordinated road-air delivery.
Special-care shipments
Pharmaceuticals, perishables, live animals and dangerous goods require commodity-specific acceptance and should not be booked until handling conditions are documented.
Operations & Compliance
- Cut-off control: Obtain the operating carrier's actual cargo acceptance and documentation cut-offs. Regional stations may require tender earlier than the published passenger departure, and cut-offs can change by operating day.
- Documentation: Prepare a consistent commercial invoice, packing list, shipper and consignee details, cargo dimensions, gross weight, value, origin information and customs instructions. Ensure the MAWB and HAWB descriptions match the physical cargo.
- Special cargo declaration: Dangerous goods, lithium batteries, dry ice, temperature-controlled products, live animals and other regulated commodities require prior approval, correct declarations and compliant packaging.
- Customs and release: Confirm export or import responsibility, broker appointment, inspection exposure and release sequence before cargo dispatch. Do not send cargo to the airport until the handling party confirms where and when it will be accepted.
- Pickup restrictions: Verify consignee identification, delivery authorization, storage limits and truck access. For remote deliveries, include road conditions and transfer risk in the service plan.
Shipping Tips
Request a routing check first
Send our service team the origin, destination, commodity, pieces, dimensions, gross weight, value, ready time and required delivery date before confirming the airport plan.
Reserve capacity early
Regional uplift can be constrained by aircraft payload, passenger baggage and operating-day changes. Early pre-booking allows a gateway or road-feeder alternative to be compared.
Build for multiple handling points
Use robust export packaging, clear piece marks, moisture protection and accessible labels when cargo may transfer between road, warehouse and aircraft.
Prepare alternatives
For urgent, oversized or special-care shipments, request a parallel quotation through a larger Brazilian gateway or an integrated road-air solution.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can Vilhena Airport (Brigadeiro Camarão Airport) receive international air cargo directly?
International acceptance should not be assumed. Our team first checks the selected carrier, customs arrangement, ground handling capability and onward connection. A gateway transfer may be required.
Can I book a guaranteed transit time to Vilhena?
Not from the airport code alone. The confirmed plan depends on uplift, transfer windows, customs processing, operating days and the final road leg. We provide a firm estimate only after those elements are checked.
Are dangerous goods accepted at Vilhena Airport (Brigadeiro Camarão Airport)?
Acceptance varies by carrier, UN number, packing instruction, quantity, aircraft and local handling capability. Send the safety data and DG declaration details to our team for pre-screening before tender.
How should temperature-sensitive cargo be shipped?
Use validated packaging and provide the required temperature range, data logger instructions and handling time limits. Our team confirms cold-chain facilities and transfer exposure before booking; do not dispatch until written acceptance is obtained.
What is the best alternative if local uplift is unavailable?
We compare a larger Brazilian gateway with a controlled domestic air connection, road feeder or airport-to-door movement. The preferred option depends on urgency, commodity restrictions, customs status and total landed cost.
Data Sources & Provenance
Airport identity, codes, location, coordinates, country, city and time zone are taken from the supplied airport record for Vilhena Airport (Brigadeiro Camarão Airport). Operational availability, carrier schedules, handling facilities, customs procedures, cut-offs and special-cargo acceptance are time-sensitive and must be reconfirmed for the shipment and operating date.
For regulatory and aviation verification, our service team uses applicable information from Brazil's civil aviation authority, air navigation authority and customs administration, including gov.br/anac, aisweb.decea.mil.br and gov.br/receitafederal. These sources support regulatory and aeronautical cross-checking; they do not replace written confirmation from the operating carrier, ground handler, customs broker or consignee for a specific shipment.
